This is not a happy post...

I am furious. PGN needs to get their act together. Today I called and they told me two more weeks..what the heck?!?! I am so so sick of this. Most would say we have been through the adoption roll coaster for the past 2 years but really it has been adoption hell. How can one be excited when our daughter should be here with us for the Holidays. Instead she is in Guatemala and our attorney can't even visit her to get an update and pictures for us. And our agency is not willing to call PGN for us when it is so hard for us to communicate due to the little English they speak and almost zero Spanish vocabulary we have? Seriously, what is the 24k we are paying going for? Our foster mother has not been paid in about 7 months so when Brent and I can scrounge together some extra money we send her a $100 so she can buy Auri the foods she wants. I have never been so aggravated in my life. If I had the money I would be headed out on a plane next week because the one person(who is not being paid by us) who has been helping us advises that I should get there in person as soon as possible if I want our case to be out any time soon. Its hard to watch everyone that started their adoptions after us go home before us as much as we are excited their life as a family finally gets to begin. Well I am out to Toys R Us now to try and find Auri a gift or two that I can fit in my suitcase so Marta can give it to her for Christmas since we won't be able to make it for a visit this year. I just bought her a Strawberry Shortcake DVD that plays in English and Spanish so since I saw Strawberry Shortcake Pinatas in Antigua I am thinking Auri may know who she is so hopefully I can find something cute to go along with it!
