I'm so sorry that this is happening to you guys.. I know how bad it sucks. I was there and got that **** t-shirt a million times over. I pray every night for all the families who are waiting and stuck in governmental quicksand. Just know that even though it seems hopeless, GOD is on your side. He will get your babies home. I don't know when, but keep the faith. It will happen.
Good luck.. Praying, praying, praying for all of you.

We had 3 previos and spent 1 day shy of 8 months in PGN. I'm so sorry. Being stuck in PGN is always miserable. I am hoping you will get OUT soon! You too Shawna!!!

I swear being in PGN this long should not BE ALLOWED!!!! I just don't get why they're soooo picky with some and others breeze right through. We were in for only a little over 8 weeks and it was agonizing waiting during that short time. It felt like an eternity!! I cannot imagine those of you that have been in for this long. I'm sending hugs your way and praying that you get good news soon!!! It would be awesome if you could get your little one home by Christmas!!
Come on PGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Angry

Right there with you sweetie!!! My oldest daughter has been in PGN for 36 weeks and my younger girls almost 12 weeks..... Christmas at home this year looks like it will only be in our dreams.....I think this SUCKS BIG TIME!!!

I yell and scream at least once every day! I guess it makes me feel better...

Do call or at least e-mail PGN to see where the heck your files are. Lets ALL pray for a good week!!!

Ann

This probably doesn't make you feel any better. But, I have been there. We were in PGN 9 months. Your are in my thoughts and prayers, as well as everyone going through this emotional process!
