Hope everything goes well for you.

I had a list at one time of all the agencies that deal with the Philippines- I'll look for it for you.Good Luck!
My husband is Filipino and we are in the process of trying to adopt from there also. The process is a bit different though while we are living here. We may be returning to MA in another 2years.
Take Care Louise

Why does it seem like there are not many recent posts on this board? Do people from the US still adopt from the Phils?

Yes there are alot of people adopting from the Philippines and I am one of them. I think alot are on the Yahoo group-Philippines adoption. I get alot of posts from that group. I also post on the Holt board. Hope that helps.
