We began the process to adopt a child from the Philippines in January 2007 and received ICAB approval in May 2008. On October 29, 2010 we were matched with our son Rafael and he joined our family on February 20, 2011!! Now we are home and are enjoying the adventures of parenting!!

One month has past!
It was one month ago today that our file reached ICAB! One month down, hopefully, only one more (or less) to go. From what I've heard, sometimes you can be approved and not even know about it for several weeks, so we may not hear anything for another 2 months. I just can't wait to be on the official waitlist!

We're finally home!
Mom and myself had a great trip to L.A. and Mexico. We visited Disneyland, Universal studios, Hollywood and also went to a hockey game at the Staples Center. The Canadiens beat the Kings 5 - 2!! The weather was great, such a nice change from here. We did a 7 day cruise to Mexico, visiting Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Peurto Vallarta. The beaches in all three ports were beautiful! As usual, I ate too much but we had a great time. Our Waitor and Assistant Waitress were both from the Philippines. They gave me tips on good places to vacation in the Philippines if we ever get the chance to do so.
We were delayed getting home as there was a big snowstorm here. We had to spend the night in Toronto, but that was also fun. No news yet on ICAB approval. I'm not expecting to hear anything for another 6 - 8 weeks. I'll add on some pictures of our trip later.

Only 2 more sleeps!!
My mom and I head out to Los Angeles on Thursday at 5:00 am!! Brian gets to stay home with Sid (our dog). My mom and I are in L.A. for a few days before heading down to Mexico on a 7 day cruise. We are hoping to make it to Disneyland and Universal Studios while in California. I can't wait to finally enjoy some good weather! This trip will be great as it will break up our wait for ICAB approval. I'll tell you all about it when we get home!
