We've been approved!
We received a message from our agency today that we have been approved for a child 0-2 years old. I know there is still a long wait, but I can't stop grinning! I thought it was going to take much longer to hear something. I guess that's the good part about expecting timelines to be longer than what you are told

Congrats! That's good news. I'm still learning how ICBF works, so it is good to hear that you were surprised by a quicker approval than you expected!

Congrats! I think our dossiers went there about the same time (and same agency) - we received word yesterday that ICBF has requested more information from us, so we will have to get info to them asap and hopefully not be too far behind you guys.

Anyway, totally excited for you guys!! Congratulations on being one step closer to your little one.
