Whiny, but I can't help it!

I am just so, so sad today. My first mistake was calling PGN...STILL 2nd reviewer. 2nd mistake was calling our agency and asking for an update..."haven't heard anything from the attorney." AND PGN is closed tomorrow. I just want to know WHY PGN STILL has our file after our 7/8 resubmit? I mean, isn't 236 days in PGN enough? DH and I are gonna have a FIT if Kate is NOT outta PGN before our visit. The attorney will have to deal with my husband, and that will NOT be pretty. I know I should be happy about our visit, but I am just so worried we will not be OUT and that makes me sad. Sorry for all the whining. I just am so drained from this process. There is no end in sight.

This just sucks and I know it. Will you really be able to see your atty when you are in Guatemala? That might be a great help in the ways of getting clear info straight from the atty. Good luck and hang on!

Yeah Lesley, we will get a chance to meet with our attorney. She usually brings the foster mom to the hotel. I am going to demand some answers and ask that we be taken to PGN to meet with someone. I am tired of being patient.

You are soooo allowed to whine!!!

You can't help how you feel so don't apologize, we all understand. I wish I magic words to encourage you and make you and your husband feel better. However, all we can do is say a little prayer for an OUT!!!
Please have fun on your visit trip.

Kim - It seems you just can't catch a break with PGN. You have been told so many different things in the last couple of months, no wonder you're cranky. As for dealing with your attorney, I say 'Go get 'em tiger!'.

Oh do I know how you feel. PGN/CNA are crazy with all their new rules that they seem to make up as they go. Sometimes I wonder if they really hate Americans and want to make us suffer(lol) My prayers are for you both enjoy your time with your daughter an give the attorney he--.

Kim, I am so sorry. You can vent all you want. But I gotta tell you. I think I would raise holy Heck with PGN. I just don't understand, is your attorney giving you anything besides a bunch of bull? Sorry I turned your vent into a vent of my own for you. All I have to say is GO GET UM GIRL!!! It is time for that baby to come home!!
