Hodson's Colombian Adoption Journey

This blog will document our journey in beginning our family through a Parent-Initiated Adoption from ICBF in Colombia. We will mark the stages and key events along the way as well as blog frequently from Colombia after we receive the call of our lives.

Application Officially Filed!

We received an email from late Friday night from our lawyer in Colombia that the translations of all 24 documents in our dossier had been completed as of Friday morning. Our lawyer also stated that she had already picked up the completed dossier and presented it with our official application to ICBF (the government agency who oversees adoptions in Colombia)!

Amazingly we now already have a case number and our lawyer has the name and information about the individual at ICBF who is going to be reviewing our dossier and application and has worked with this person before. We were not counting on the translations to be completed in time for our application to be submitted this week so we are so excited at how quickly it is going for us right now. Of course knowing that it could be just a matter of a few months from here until we are united with our child is amazing and maybe just a little bit scary too.
