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!!

9 month anniversary
Wow, were does the time go! I can't believe that it has been 9 months since ICAB approval. I can remember when Rachel sent out this same post (about her 9 months waiting) and two weeks later she got a referral! I definetely don't expect a referral anytime soon but I'm hoping for one in November or maybe December. That would be the 18 - 19 month mark which sounds more realistic. I initially thought we were going to wait for two plus years but I'm more hopeful now of hearing something a little sooner. I guess only time will tell and whenever it happens, will be the perfect timing.

Congratulations on 9 months down! Time flies so fast doesn't it. You'll have your referral before you know it.
Have a great Sunday!
9 months down?! Wow, that is awesome. I'm hoping also that you hear something sooner than 18 months.
Yea...9 months down. The first year seemed to go by fairly quickly for us, but now that we have hit the 12 month mark...now to 14 months it seems like the wait is slugglishly going by. I hope that you receive your referral this year. A summer referral would be great. :)
