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!!

Renee! I can't believe that this day has finally come for you! I am so very happy for you!
Enjoy your trip...I hope you'll post as often as you can...
Will you be flying through Montreal?
Tammy, we won't be flying thru Montreal but thru Toronto. It would have been nice to see you guys again!! I can't believe that our turn has come. It still doesn't even seem real. Things are crazy around here and I have a feeling one our little monkey comes home it can only get crazier!!! Take care and we are hoping to post from the Philippines.
Renee, that is so exciting!!! Praying you have a wonderful trip. Enjoy every moment with your precious little boy! Looking forward to hearing all about it :)

I am so excited for you. That moment makes all the waiting so worth it. I can't wait to hear about your first moments with your son. Just be relaxed, take in everything, and remember parenting is a journey! We had emotional ups and downs, but it was an amazing miracle when we first laid eyes on our son, and I know it will be for you, too. Praying for you!!!!
All the best to you and your family on this wonderful journey! God bless!
