Hi,
we are in the process of adopting our second child and are looking at Columbia. We're not sure at the moment if this is possible, we live in Ireland.
I'm hoping to learn lots from this forum. We have good friends living in the states who adopted their daughter from Columbia.

Hello and welcome!
My DH and I are waiting for our first baby from Colombia.
Just an FYI, we are going through the ICBF and the wait time seems to be about 4 years.
This forum is sometimes slow and sometimes active but you will find a wealth of information here and some really great fellow mom's and mom's to be.
Yahoo groups has a couple very active groups as well.

Good luck!!!
(Also, Colombia has 2 "o's" no "u's" :flower: )
Hi and welcome! My husband and I adopted our daughter from Colombia in the Spring of 2008, and are now getting our paperwork ready for a second Colombian adoption. Good luck in your process, and if you have any specifc questions, this forum is a great place to start! We live in the USA, by the way, since you asked.
Thanks a mil for the replies.
Apologies for the incorrect spelling of Colombia.
We're still learning.
Nashvillgirl we adopted our Daughter Sophie-Anne from Vietnam on march 28th 2008, so just before you. We applied July 08 for our second and are nearly finished our second assessment ( I know system is different in the USA ) If we want to adopt from Colombia we have to do a project so i spent the weekend researching , very exciting. We meet our Social worker on Thursday and need to speak with her. We have time on our hands as we are waiting for our Garda clearances (police clearance) to come back and then it's all systems go for around November.
Must have a look for the yahoo groups, I did try to join one but it's for Colombians.

Here is an idea for a project: [url=http://raisingcolombiankids.blogspot.com/2009/04/friends-of-colombian-orphans.html]Colombian Culture, Colombia Adoption and Raising Colombian Kids: Friends of Colombian Orphans[/url] You could contact Jane or John about helping them in their efforts to help older Colombian orphans.
Hi Amamum
I also live in Ireland.Have you checked with the AB about colombia.I did email loads of US agencies when Guatemala closed about Colombia and none of them would take us on.Have you found one that will work with you.We are now adopting from Mexico and are waiting for our court date.
Hi Jackie,
I did contact the AB by e mail first and surprise surprise they did'nt answer so i rang them. They are looking at Colombia at the moment. They made contact with a lawyer and have the law in Spanish. It needs to be translated and the guy expected an answer in a few months.
Congrats on adopting from Mexico, you must be so excited. Once we got over the disappointment of Vietnam we are now very excited again.
Sumerce, what i meant by project is finding out about culture, customs, food, goverment etc and putting in something like a scrapbook that is child friendly. My daughter from VN is starting to look at her now but I'll have a look at your link as well.
Thanks a mil for your replies.
