I'm going to lose it for sure. (Vent thread).

Where are the OUTS?

Too many of us have been waiting around too long, and too many of us got referrals in the summer or earlier and maybe haven't been in PGN as long but our babies are just plain getting older.

I don't mean offense to fast cases, but I just wish they would let a bunch of us Copa and Copa Gold star members OUTof there faster than others.

I KNOW for a fact that our case doesn't have unusual circumstances to it. So why the holdup? For one silly ko and now I wait forever to get OUT????

Thanks for listening and sorry for the vent.

Not so patiently waiting any more.

You did promise to get OUT of my way (about 2 weeks ago)
We have finally broken through the gate and gotten on this ride. I took your file, signed it and threw it off this ride. Sorry I did not carry it to the front gate...I did not want to lose my seat!
I am sure your phone will ring as soon as someone finds it in all the dust.

My lucky leprechaun will be delivering a special Irish fairy dust to all of you.

Vent away, but don't lose it completely. I follow your case. I wait for your OUT. I think of your little 7 1/2 month old like I think of mine. If you lose it, I might too. Our students will have insane teachers and our little leos wll have insane mothers. Nope, can't have that.

Bottom line: They are coming home soon. It's almost our turns.

mommy2gabi---I am right with you sister

We are a 1/26 resubmit too and wondering if we've been left behind or if something is up. I don't think we need to worry yet---at least that is what my head is saying to my churning stomach.

I wish I had something wise to say to help ease your pain.
This process IS unfair. That is what makes it so frustrating. If there was a system it would make it so much easier.
I would LOVE to see some Copa and Copa Gold members come out ASAP! No offense to those bringing home younger babies, but it is hard to see children born months after yours coming home ahead of you.
I will continue to pray for all of you.

Arthmom, I am so right there with you. It just seems like this is a fantasy and it's never going to come true. Please oh Please let our babies come home.

Our case is a no nonsense case like many of the others. Why the ho hum on OUR cases?! I am with you Arth, although I my lose it and HURT someone else!
Please let us out, pretty please with sugar on top?

Hey Arth!!! Hang in there lady. I just know you're gonna get "the call" any day now. And be turning in that Copa Gold card! And I will do a back flip in your honor. Although it'll have to be a mental one.

I hear you sister!

Our last resubmit was after yours, but being that we've been in since last October really stinks! I wish they would go by original submission dates at times...
