I am LIVID!

So, there are so very few of us still in process and not very many post on this board but since the Guatadopt forum was hacked, I can't post there.

I AM LIVID!!!! We are a GRANDFATHERED case and are still waiting to bring our daughter home. It's been over 2 years and we can't get out of PGN.

The newest requirement of going through the Minors section of PGN is the black hole. I even met with the head of the Minors PGN unit and she told me that we'd be out of her area 2 weeks ago. I know that it is silly of me to believe anything they say at this point.

I was just told that not only do they need a report from the MP, they also need a report from "el departamento de sicologia, y de trabajo social de la PGN, y el departmento de Gestion Penal." These are IN ADDITION TO all the reports, files, DNA's, investigations, and other nonsense that have been done.

What does it take to bring a child home? Honestly, what more are they going to add???? They don't read it anyway.

Oh no! Of course your angry.

Your heart must be breaking. I'll pray and hope for you and your family. May God lessen the burden and pave the way so your daughter can come home.

It is hard to imagine what you are going through. Today is my daughter's 1st Gotcha day and I thought 15 mos was a long time. I see how lucky I was. Saying an extra prayer for you all tonight. What a nightmare!

My hope for you is that when all this is over, you can reflect and get something out of it. I know that it is hard to see it now. Perhaps you will find just the right words at just the right moment for some tough situation, or maybe she will tell you one day that she is grateful that you waited so long for her. Whatever it is, you'll know it when it happens. And it will give you tremendous peace and joy.

Thinking of you and all of those waiting families!!!
