Join us on our journey to the Philippines to adopt our first child. We began this process in January 2007 and received ICAB approval in May 2008. Now we just sit back and enjoy the wait!
We have now reach 14 months since ICAB approval. Wow, the time sure has flown by! There is not anything new to report on the adoption front but we are still hoping to have a referral by the end of the year. By that point we will have been waiting for 19.5 months. My fingers and toes are crossed that we don't reach 20 months!
I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed that you and Brian will hear about your referral before the end of this year! There have been a couple referrals of families who were approved in March 2008, so your turn could be any day now. Hang in there!
Wow, fourteen months already! This is so exciting...you could get the call any day now! I'm hoping and praying for guys that you get your referral very soon :0) In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the summer!
With you guys being so busy, it will be here before you know it. If there have already been some March 2008 referrals, then hopefully you guys are right in the mix.
I love the dogs/badminton picture! Get used to that feeling because that is what it will feel like with a toddler running around at your feet all the time. :)
Hi Renee I am reading regularly your updates, exciting times for you! I just wanted to tell you that a danish family got their referral in april just after 14 months of waiting. They actually already came home with their little boy who is c. 1,5 yrs of age. Good luck BR Maija - 7 months on the list

Fingers and toes crossed for you in MN as well!!!
Hoping and praying you receive that phone call soon!
You are next on my list, but that probably doesn't count with ICAB does it? Keep waiting, your day will come soon and then you will be on cloud 9.

Congradulation for the 14 months! You can now get a call anytime! I really hope for you that you have the call as soon as possible!
Good luck! :D
