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!!

27 months
It has now been 27 months since ICAB approval. We are another step closer to our child! I just had a lovely weekend away with the running girls. We just sat out in the sun all weekend and ate lots of junk. We packed up early this morning and headed home. I have tons of gardening to do so I better get out at that before the weekend is over and I'm back to work. I'm kind of sad that the summer is passing by so quickly but I love the Fall to so it won't be too bad.

The wait has really been bugging me lately so I thought that we both needed something else to look forward to so I booked a 1o night bahamas cruise. I had been looking at vacations but I really didn't want to waste any money on going away when we could have possibly been travelling to the Philippines in the not too far future. Now I'm pretty sure that there won't be a trip to the Philippines before Christmas so this will be something to help break up the time. We leave in late October and we spend two days in Baltimore before the cruise. We ended up getting an amazing deal which I love. The cruise is $54 dollars a day and we also get $15o credit to spend on the boat. We used points to book our flight so the trip is costing us very little. As soon as I booked it I felt so much better because now I have something else to focus on and to help me forget about this very long wait. I was kind of expecting to get the call as soon as we booked the trip but that still hasn't happened. Maybe tomorrow, Friday the 13th, will be the lucky day!!
