A Scare with PGN


We need your prayers and positive thoughts as much as possible at this time because as of Friday, our file (yes, after being signed) was pulled back along with 19 other files for rereview. This is our worst nightmare. Apparently one of the twenty files has something wrong and they are uncertain as to which file it is. Therefore, all twenty have been "recalled" for rereview even after being signed. We thought we might hear last night about the status, but we didn't so the soonest we'll know if our file is OK or not will be at 10:00AM on Monday morning after a meeting with the sub general attorney. If ours is the one with the error, we WILL get a previo (kick out) and have to begin all over again at step one in PGN. Depending on the error, it could be as short as a 2 week fix or as long as an 8 week delay in the adoption. We are praying that our file is OK. If it is OK, we'll go on as if this never happened and we'll be back where we started last Wednesday - getting the Passport, new birth certificate, etc. to go home. Now, here Blake and I sit in Antigua and Chris in Seattle, nervous all weekend as to what's going to happen on Monday. We can't believe that we got final signature and then the file was asked to be seen again (along with the others). If our file is OK, I feel awful for the family who will get a previo after all of this waiting. This is torture! We know we have to stay positive, but it is hard at this point - just when we thought we were going home fairly soon. Thank you for your support - we need it right now.

Hi Lara and Chris,
We're reading your postings and keeping up with events. You're very strong to be taking all this in stride. I'll be arriving in Seattle on December 4, and I hope to see you both and Blake there!
Good luck, and stay optimistic.
