Oh great light of love

I spoke with CHI this week and there is another family who submitted at the beginning of March to the ICBF. We submitted at the end. Neither of us have been approved yet from the ICBF. They are hopeful our approval will happen soon and will let us know as soon as it does. Sometimes our approval will come with a referral...sometimes it will be two separate things...CRAZY thought we could be parents approx 45 days from approval and referral or longer. Upon referral you get 30 days to review it, have a MD look at the medical records...etc... Once accepted you have to get VISAs and your travel date...depending on what is going on at the Embassy it could be quick or another 30 days until we travel. Thanks everyone for continuing to follow and support us on this journey!! Cannot wait to meet our babes someday!! Amaral family vacation this week and next! Excited to relax and enjoy spending time with my hubby and everyone else!! Our first cruise so I am a bit nervous :) per Shaggy's recommendation I have my sea bands and the ginger candies ready to go...and some wine! :) Need to find some outfits that will compliment my life vest accessory. XOXO C and M
