We began the process to adopt a child from the Philippines in January 2007 and received ICAB approval in May 2008. On October 29, 2010 we were matched with our son Rafael and he joined our family on February 20, 2011! Now we are home and are enjoying the adventures of parenting! Monday, November 12, 2012.
