Talking ICBF approval!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Well we finally have it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess we got approved in August and are just now finding out. We submitted our dossier to ICBF in April, is that when our official wait started or August with our approval?

Here's to celebrating cause in this long process, this is the last celebration before the referral.

My almost 3 yr old looked at me today and said "You my best friend." and I thought my day couldn't get any better.

My agency is still telling me it will be approximately two years until my referral. I am glad that I am more informed and am settling in for a much longer wait.
