Our Case Manager, Dana, just sent us our scanned copy of our ICBF (Colombia's Gov't office that regulates the adoptions) approval. We were officially placed on the waiting list on March 3, 2008. So we have officially been on the waiting list for a 1 1/2 months. Although we knew we were approved it is different when you see the actual document - it makes it real.
The next big step according to the approval document is receiving an assignment to a specific region in Colombia. This means that they assign you to a specific town or province in Colombia and that your child will come from that town or province. Once this occurs, you are pretty close to being matched to your child. That is the next big news we will wait for but being matched to a region could be a long time from now so we will just have to be patient. However, my thoughts are that we are on God's timeframe and not anyone else's so they will call us when "our" baby is ready. On that note - don't laugh, I'm taking up a hobbie. I'm going to give knitting a shot. I figured that it would be nice to learn to knit some blankets for the baby and it will also keep me occupied during the wait. WE shall see how that goes!!!!
