Approval!!

Well, it has happened. We are, frankly, in a state of shock, but it has happened. We have been approved by the Intercountry Adoption Board of the Philippines and are officially on the wait list to receive our referral!!!

We are totally shocked. We were told that approvals have slowed down significantly and that we should expect it to take 3 months with an additional month of "waiting" to find out our approval date. In other words we did not expect to hear of this news until mid-to-late-October.

Our dossier was sent on July 9th, 2008. Our dossier was approved by ICAB on August 21st, 2008. For anyone counting that is 6 weeks and 1 day!!! :)

We can't wait to meet you, Rebekah!!!
