I hate this process....



So it's been awhile...heres the breakdown:



PGN reviewer quit and they lost our file so it was never officially submitted....in english: COMPLETE WASTE OF 8-12 WEEKS! AND OUR DAUGHTER IS NOW 8 MONTHS OLD GOING **IN** TO PGN!!!!!!!!



OK so we were offically submitted on may 10 or 11. We went for another visit trip and had a blast. We are going back June 18th-23rd. Tom and I will spend our 4 year anniversary together in Guatemala with Kirsten...how much more perfect could it be (Oh yea...SHE COULD BE HOME!!!!) I am as bitter as could be right now and should probably not be typing somewhere that I dont have to control myself because it could get ugly very easy! So I will leave it with some pictures from our visit trip last week and hopefully when we go back next month I can stay and foster :-)













I hope everyone else's process is going better then our!

Well I guess it's time to update this thing only been 5 weeks lol sorry! OK to sum up the last 5 weeks starting with the second visit trip....





Kirsten cried and cried for 3 days...it sucked...it gave me a real good look at life as a mom....didn't matter she was still as perfect as could be! Our facilitator told us on 2/25 that we were in PGN and I got SOOOO very excited....after trying for 2 weeks I finally got an answer on 3/7 that we just went into pgn that day so basically our facilitator is a liar (I'm still not quite over this but nothing I can do!) So basically for some screwed up reason it took us a month to get into pgn when the average is 1-2 weeks figures just my luck. Visit trip ended great and it was 100 times harder to give Kirsten back which is why I dont think we will visit again (Crying for 3 days after is just not something I like to do) Here are some pictures:











OK what else happened this month.....ummm my mom had a baby shower for me on the 17th it was great and everyone was so sweet. Kirsten got lots and lots of great stuff and clothes (they all dont fit in her closet LOL) Tom bought me a new BMW X5 yipee!!!! I hated driving the expedition and the X5 is smaller and SOOOOO much easier to drive and it has completely keyless entry I just have to have the keys in my purse and touch the handle and the door unlocks or locks which will be great when I have Kirsten in 1 hand and the rest of my life in the other LOL We went to new york and it was an eventful trip...and not in a good way but other then the little incident it was a fun trip. Tom and I got to spend some time with his sisters which we seldom see them both at the same time which was nice.

Well everyone cross your fingers and pray we get out of PGN in the next few weeks! It just breaks my heart to see her getting older and older and not being at home where she belongs!

Well we are sitting in Tampa International Airport waiting to catch our flight to Miami which we will then be off to Guatemala to visit our pumpkin again. We got a new medical which is on my computer at home, but she now weights 15 pounds and is 24.8 inches long. We have missed her SOOOOOO much and we are truely blessed that we can afford to visit, let alone visit twice. We have decided to go to Guatemala when Kirsten gets out of PGN and wait out the last few weeks down there with our little girl.

Now onto this plane we are about to board....AAAAHHHHHHH it's SOOO small!!!!!!!!!!! It sits 27 people TOTAL! Thats it....not my kind of plane. I freak out on a 757 let alone a plane the size of one my little brother played with as a kid! (ok not that small but close) Why'd I have to leave the vallum at home :-( j/k

Well we are waiting on getting into pgn and our agency said we should be in next week, so hopefully no kick-outs and we can leave in 6-8 weeks to go get our baby girl!!!!!!

OK so it looks like I need to updated this :-) Sorry it has been a crazy couple of weeks! So we got out of Family Court on 2/6 and now we are waiting to get into PGN!!!!!

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let us IN because we want OUT NOW!!!!!!! The average wait right now in PGN is 6-8 weeks either for a kick out (ppw error, we would have to fix and resubmit and wait another 6-8 weeks) or to get OUT aka the adoption would be finialized and we would travel within a few weeks to get our princess! We are hopefully in the home stretch :-)

We are hoping for the best and trying to prepare for the worst (actually we arn't even talking about the worst but it sounded good LOL)

My mom bought my baby shower invites today and they are TOO CUTE! As soon as they are done I will post one. I finished my baby registries too today... oh and I am SO in love with the new rainforest highchair, jumparoo, etc target has come out with how much cuter could they makes these things geeezzz LOL I thought it was a very neutral set so if we are blessed with a little boy *hint hint Mr. Stork!!! or great big money man in the sky (adoptions expensive!)* we could use the same set. Ok I'm done rambling for the night!

We got PA!!!!!! WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never expected it on a Saturday and not for at least another week or 2! Yippeeee!!!! Now once we get out of FC we are onto PGN! and we are 1 step closer to our little princess coming home!
