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!!

Our boy is in Manila!!!
Rafael's medical is taking place right now as I type this. I'm praying that all goes well!! His Visa appointment is on Friday. We were really hoping to travel by mid February but several Canadian families in the Philippines adoption Yahoo group said that they waited 7 -8 weeks to receive their travel call after their childs medical. So based on that, we may not travel until March. I'm still praying that we will travel in February but we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

I've been thinking of you and praying for Rafael. Also praying our girls are with him. We don't get to hear when their medicals are, so I'm hoping and praying that they're with Rafael today. Just think, January is almost half over already! Soon! Lord let it be soon that we all get to go!!
Blessings!

Oooooo!!!!!! I hope all goes well and you get to travel sooner than anticipated.
So much waiting, but soon it will be all worth it. I hope the time passes quickly for you, but I remember how tough it was. Praying for quick and safe travels.
I said some prayers last night for Rafael's medical appointment...and I'm saying some prayers for you guys that things have sped up with the Canadian embassy since the end of the year. Can't wait to see how things are coming along with his room!
Praying your travel call will come ASAP!!!! This is wonderful news!
Woohoo! Just another step closer to your travel date! Can't wait to see pictures of Rafael's room when you are finished. So glad that everything seems to be moving along quickly for you guys! :)
As always...I'm so happy for you!! I'm sure he'll ace the medical. I'm hoping that and you'll be travelling sooner than later.
