Hello everyone! I just joined this forum, after reading some of the lastest threads and posts. This is a much more active forum than others that I've been a part of for Colombian adoptions.

A little bit of background for you...my husband and I just started the formal application process with the agency we chose to adopt our first child from Colombia. We are 24 and 25, so are getting all of the paperwork/home study/dossier completed by the time I turn 25. Our agency instructed us that we were in for a long wait, now that we are required to go through ICBF.

I do have one question so far...has anyone heard of "razial" in Colombia? According to some paperwork from the agency, that is a term for an ethnic minority that is located in the Andes region. However, I cannot find any information regarding this. I know that Colombia considers ethnic minorities to be somewhat of a "special needs". Any help anyone has would be great. Thanks!
