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.

Hodson's Visit Kentucky

Monica, Gabriela, & I decided to drive from Virginia to Kentucky to visit our good friends Amie, Justin & their son Spencer who live halfway between Lexington, KY & Cincinnati, OH for New Year's weekend. When we decided to visit Kentucky we also contacted one of the families in our Colombian adoption Yahoo Group who live in Lexington and have just last week received the referral for a beautiful baby girl in Medellin, Colombia. Monica and I tried to help them narrow down the long list of questions that they have now that they are planning their trip to Medellin to adopt their beautiful Sofia.

    Hola!

    My name is Holly and I am a former co-worker of Jose Huerta's (he and Megan are currently in Colombia picking up their 3 kiddos). I linked to your blog from his. I would love to hear from you. My husband and I are currently researching Parent-Initiated Adoption from Colombia as an option for us. I speak nearly fluent Spanish, though neither of us are Colombian nationals nor have any heritage. I spent some time living in Ecuador a number of years ago and really love the Latin American culture.
    However, information on PIA on the web seems hard to find, and what I do find I don't totally trust. I would love to hear about your experience and any insight you have! Would you be willing to exchange e-mails? If so, please e-mail me at holly_lou05@yahoo.com

    Thanks!

    Holly (& Robert) Dressel
