Adoption Day 58
It’s been a while since my last entry. As you may have guessed, not much has happened since last time.
We did get a confirmation that the five children we wanted to adopt are ‘for sure’ placed with another family 
I guess it’s good for them – and we’re happy for them. We won’t be making that mistake again, getting attached to some children before we should.
We went to a Philippines picnic put on by Crossroads Adoption Services this last Sunday (7/29). There were many families who have adopted children from the Philippines and some that are waiting. There were also two ICAB members (the ones who select the children for the families). We did talk to them a little. They seemed excited to find that we want to adopt an older sibling group and said we won’t have to wait very long to get a referral. Some families who want to adopt infants have to wait a year or so. It may only be a few months for us.
Our adoption counselor is back from vacation. We have an office visit with her tomorrow (8/1) and I think we owe the next big chunk of money to them. Then it’s another class on Thursday and Friday.
