Colombia is on the move again...

As some of you may have heard from us, we had a bit of a concern when individuals on a Yahoo Group I belong to stated that Colombia was not giving any more children for international adoption after the lineage investigations concluded at the ICBF. Great news is that we heard from our agency that there were 3 referrals given in August at the conclusion of the investigations, and there are 5 dossiers that have been sent out to region to be matched with a child and 4 families waiting to travel to complete their adoption. This is fantastic!! We have not heard about our approval from the ICBF yet, as some of you may recall, they initially told us 3-5 months, probably earlier for us since we are young, childless, and have pretty open desires for our children. August 30th would be 5 months from our dossier being sent in March. I am holding off on asking as I do not want to be the crazy person that keeps asking if there is any news, we committed to waiting until we get back from the cruise to ask what our status is. Maybe we will be lucky enough to get it while we are at sea, who knows! :)
