Official Referral!!!!

Yesterday, T got "the call" from our agency. They received the official referral from ICBF for our 5 yr old Colombian beauty!!! Last night I spent hours translating the 20 page document that came with the referral (our agency is working on the official translation but we were so excited we didn't want to wait!). I think I got the highlights. We were dissapointed there was not a more recent photo included as the one we have is about a year and a half old...so bummer there. They are going to make another request for one. They will be contacting us today wiht the next steps on how to accept the referral once we get the official translation and complete the I-800. My head is spinning!!! We were expecting to wait a few months for the referral and it came in about 2 weeks! At this rate, we will be off to Colombia before the end of summer! I had hear ICBF prioritizes special needs adoptions, but oh my, we are definately on some sort of fast track right now. In God's time, it is all in God's time. Based on the paperwork, it looks like we are under the Bucharamanga office of ICBF which means we might be staying at some of the same places that another family that just got back stayed. It is so exciting to look at their pictures and think we might be there in just a few months! Yah yah Yah!!!
