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!!

We've been matched......with a social worker!
Well I was thrilled yesterday morning when I received a call from our new social worker. She has been matched with us to complete our update. She said that she will call me tomorrow re making an appointment to meet with us sometime next week. I just passed in our criminal checks and our medicals are being done next week. At some point our social worker will contact our references to speak with them but once our homestudy update is written, the whole package goes off to the three levels of government to approve!! This part takes up to three months but I'm hopeful it won't be that long. My fingers are crossed. I am so glad that we didn't have to wait three months. Yet another thing to be thankful for!

You seriously had me going for a split second! I'm so glad that you guys were able to get a social worker. I'm still hoping your match comes before all of this is done.
Oh my, my heart just jumped up to my ears, and came down as fast.... :) Well, any way nice to be matched, and it is good you can still find strenght in you to make practical jokes like that. Hopefully the stork will find its way to you before long! You have indeed waited long enough!

Okay...the first portion of your title was not nice. I got so excited for you guys. I know the social worker update is huge, but after I saw those "We've been matched" words I could hardly contain my excitement. Regardless, it is still great news. Hoping your referal comes very soon.
I do like your festive shamrock background. :)
You must be so happy. I hope everything goes quickly with no hangups.
Here's to hearing something soon. We were matched one week after we updated our homestudy. Keep up the great attitude, we'll be looking for the real "We've been Matched" blog title.
Amazing!! I'm so happy for you guys! Keep us posted...
