Unhappy 100 Days

Well, today we get to join the 100 day club. We got an update last night from the agency. They said they expect it to take at least 2 more weeks for the signature from Barrios (and maybe longer because of the Easter holiday). Christopher will not be home for his first birthday and I am heartbroken.

I'm so sorry. We joined the Copa yesterday, and it was a really, really hard day. Hope you have good news and we can kick you out of the club soon.

If the formal requirement for the Copa Club is 100 days then count us IN!!! How very exciting ( ) We entered PGN the first week of December. However I have a question: We had one KO and were resubmitted 1/8 and are still waiting. Our agency (which is a good one ) says we are in pgn waiting since the 2nd or 3rd day after resubmission (barring a KO by Barrios, I suppose) Does this seem a little long with no other news?

Sorry to hear that you had to join the club. There seem to be more of us lately who are celebrating our children's first birthdays without them as well. I know it's difficult, but like I've been telling the others who are experiencing the same thing, we can celebrate when they get home. That's what I'm gonna do anyway! I'm sure most of us will do something special for them.

I will be praying for you and I hope we all hear something soon!

Geez. The Copacabana Club welcomes you. Feel free to unlimited use of exclamation points, purple pout icons, and general grumpiness. This is the goody bag that comes with membership, and there's no charge!

Sorry you are here, but you are in excellent company, if that is any consolation!

Mommy_again, As far as entering and not hearing anything since Jan, that seems LONG. Can they call PGN and find out exactly where your file is?

Welcome to the club. We are at 104 days and it's getting easier to accept some days and some days really, really suck. Our baby will be one year old in June and I will be very surprised if we make it in time.
But like others said, we will celebrate whenever she gets here!
