It's Offical, We're Approved!

We received word today, Yes, it’s true, Colombia has approved us for two siblings ages 0 – 7 as we requested! Our approval date was 11/30/07, but they just let our agency know late yesterday, who let us know this morning. I guess with the holidays it just took some time to get the info back to us.

So the next step, which could take a few months, is for them to let us know which city our paperwork is sent to and then info on our children.
We are hoping to go in the spring but it could possibly be as late as summer.
With that being said…What a great start to 2008. But my sister pointed out that November really was a big month, Nov 30th was our approval date, they were just a bit delayed in telling us.

Also, if we look at the timeline given to us, which was 3 – 5 months before we should expect to hear of approval, it means our approval date was just shy of 3 months. So we are ahead of schedule…hee hee. If travel time follows suit, we should be hearing more info in March (ish). Can you tell I am a planner, not a spur of the moment kind of gal? I like to know what is going on and when. But again, I remind myself that it is all in HIS timing and it will be perfect no matter when we get the call.

Can’t wait for Spring!!!

Congratulations!! That is great news. That was also when ICBF was holding meetings for the agencies so that may have delayed the notification process as well. Hopefully you will hear something soon. Can't wait to hear what region you are going to.
