The black hole of PGN

Today was my mom's birthday. I had thought that after getting through the birth mother interview on 5/20 I'd be out of PGN and possibley even enroute to GT. I had thought we may even celebrate mom's birthday there. Well, that too has now come and gone. Charlotte turns one in August(8/18) and now I am hanging on by a thread that she'll be home for her first birthday. It could happen. But will it??? I am sooo tired of the waiting game that PGN has me in. What more do they want from me?? What other stupid thing could they need to review??? I have missed soooo much of her first year. She should have been home by 8 months of age (10 at the oldest). I know that in the grand scheme of international adoption, this is still fairly timely, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. It is also very difficult to see on the chat forums that in the past 3 weeks, 50+ cases have been released from PGN. Why not me???

I'm sorry to be so negative, but I am sad. I really thought she'd be home by now. Not hearing anything is just so hard. Maybe, just maybe I will get to post some good news soon. Please keep us in your prayers.

Sara,
Just remember that dream that I told you about. There is no doubt in my mind that it was Charlotte we were all waiting for!
Hard to hear, but keep your chin up and think happy thoughts. She'll be here soon!
LOVE U,
Juli
