April 2009
After two years of contemplation and life event changes, we jumped in with two feet and started the application process with Children's Hope International. Initially, we were not sure which program to pursue. A co-worker had adopted a sibling set of 3 from Colombia. The kids have adjusted great, and we decided to go in this direction.
September 2009
Almost 6 months into the process, our dossier is finally complete and sent off to Colombia for ICBF approval.
February 2010
I guess any news is good at this point, even if it is the ICBF wanting more information and an update to our file before approval.
July 2010
The past several months have seemed like an eternity waiting to hear something or should I say anything from Colombia. Today (7/21,2010) we heard from our social worker that the ICBF board has made a decision and sending a letter, but no word as to what the letter mentions. Hopefully, we will get a phone call from our social worker Nichole telling us we are approved. More waiting to go.
August 2010
Finally, Today August 4th, we received a phone call from our social worker that she has received the letter from Colombia stating we were approved for "dos ninos" siblings 0-5. Our official approval date is 7/8/2010. One month down, and roughly 30 to go.
