So Sad
I wish there was something I can do to bring my baby home, this wait is really hurting and I can't take it anymore!! I want OUT of PGN, even though I haven't even found out if we were resubmitted yet! I am scared to death of another previo (we are on #3). Our daughter turns 1 soon and I feel so close yet so far! I am praying for all of us still caught up in this process!!! Michelle

I feel sad for you reading your post. I remember missing my youngest first birthday and all that hurt I felt. I had a cake made for her here, and we celebrated a little party for her... but of course she wasn't here for it.
On the bright side... there will be many birthday's ahead!!! Many wonderful days to celebrate. I hope you get some great news about your case soon. Take care.

I am so sorry for you. This process is so very hard. I too had to celebrate my sons first birthday without him. It was hard. I will say extra prayers for you. I hope you hear something soon (good of course)!!

Ughh, believe me, I KNOW where you are coming from! We had 4 previos and spent a day shy short of 8 months in PGN. I wouldn't wish that kind of torture on anyone. Just know that we are all hoping and praying that THIS time will be your OUT! We will all cheer you on!

So many of us missed those first birthdays (and some more) No matter how you try to spin it, it is miserable to be without your child. My thoughts are with you for your PGN out. I wish you the strength that you need until that happens.

I am right there with you! We celebrated Hudson's birthday in Aug. without him. It was really hard. Our agency director set up a conference call with his FF so we could all sing Happy Birthday together. That made it a little more bearable. Feel free to let it all out here. So many of us either went through it or are going through it right now! PM me if you just want to chat. Our outs are coming soon....I can feel it!

I hear you. I am in the same boat. Have you heard if PGN is up and running yet? Has anyone made it out? I am going crazy. I don't know how to handle this any longer. I wish you, me and everyone else luck.

We missed two of our daughters birthdays but were lucky enough to have people travelling take packages to her. Hopefully she will be home for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately you are not alone but you have a lot of support and love. Stay focused on the future...your time will come.

Reading your post brought tears to my eyes... I flashbacked to the pain / anxiety / fear that I too felt during our process. It was tough and although my DS is home, I can remember the feelings very vividly. There is probably nothing that I can say to make you feel better, but please know that you will be in my thoughts. Hold on to hope - never give up - and remember "this too shall pass." Some day (hopefully soon) your baby will be in your arms. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Right there with you (((hugs)))
Our daugther is 18 months old and we are still waiting to hear if we are out from our July 11 resubmit - 3 months with no word - absolutely heartbreaking to watch the days go by. I spent last night in tears and I couldn't sleep - I am sick over all of this. |
