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!!

2 years, 2 months, 2 weeks and 2 days
There is nothing new to report but I just thought that it was neat that we have now reached 2 years, 2 months, 2 weeks and 2 days since ICAB approval. Maybe this will be our lucky week!
I honestly thought that your posting was (FINALLY) about the referral... But not! :((( Your child is there already but they just didnt find out yet that you are a perfect match! It is coming, SOON. Take care, I wish you all the strenght in this final (and ever so hard) waiting period!
I happened upon your blog on google ( as we are in the process of adopting from the Philippines). I hope you don't find me stalkerish ;), but I enjoy reading your posts. You seem like such a positive person, despite the frustrations of the adoption process, and you have been an encouragement to me!!!! I will be praying for your child and you will you wait!!!
Renee...still thinking of you daily! I'm hoping you get that call really soon! Keep your spirits up...it won't be long now! ...wishing we could invite you over for tea and a chat!
Hi Kina, it is always nice to meet up with another family adopting from the Philippines. Where are you from and how far are you into the wait? Good luck with everything and if you have a blog, I'd love to check it out.
Hang in there. Good things come to those who wait. Or so they tell me (we are waiting for an allocation from Thailand - its been 3 years, 4 months and 2 weeks for us so far).
I don't know if you noticed but I was fooling around with some template stuff on my blog a few weeks agao and lost everything. Luckily I had backed up my posted. After realized I had to set up another I decided to try wordpress. Gotta love computers right.
Your new blog set up is fresh and happy and hopeful! I like it! You are in my thoughts all the time! I can't wait to hear about your baby. We're taking off for Italy in 2 weeks (as you know) and I'm REALLY hoping to get an excited phone call during that time saying it's time to buy plane tickets to the Philippines. Unlikely? Sure. But a girl can dream. Maybe we'll get our calls on the same day, but if you go first, that's just fine with me. :)
Renee, We live in Oklahoma, and we just sent our Dossier to our agency...so the time hasn't even started ticking for us yet ;) My blog is http://www.my3boysandlittlelady.blogspot.com

You are always so positive...I keep hoping to read about your special referral. Hang in there! It has to be soon, very soon!
