I love the little ticker at the top of our blog today. It has been 6 months since we were approved by ICAB to adopt from the Philippines. Hooray!! We had a celebratory lunch today with our good good friends Aaron and Nikki (and Sam and Porter). We praised the Lord for being 6 months into the wait. Then Aaron and Nikki sang us a song about how we are going to our referral sooner rather than later because they told ICAB that's how it should be. I heart our goofy friends. They even sing songs about their dental work. Good times.
We also got a book in the mail yesterday called Adopting a Filipino Child the Intercountry Way. I'm excited because it was written by a woman who sat on the Philippines Inter Country Adoption Board (ICAB), and it gets specific about what ICAB is looking for in their approval of Prospective Adoptive Parents (PAPs), as well as what they do when looking for a referral (or match) for a child. Yay for information!!

Yaayyy on reaching the 6 month milestone! Time is moving by quickly for you guys :)
Congratulations!! Six months down and hopefully not many to go. Time goes quickly, if you want it to or not!

6 months already! Yippee! We are 1 month behind you guys in wait, so I love to see your ticker as a reminder how far along we are as well.
Please share any interesting things you find in your new book. I would love to hear them.
The book was one of the most useful reads I've done. Wish placement agencies gave it to PAPs for the Philippines as part of their standard operating procedures. The hand-holding they do is fine, but I always appreciate concrete info. Congrats on the milestone! Could you also blog about the Lifebook class you attended? Thanks!!!
