Wanting to adopt Filipino baby

Hi, We are waiting for a referral from the Philippines. We have been waiting almost 6 months. Are wait is longer because we have 3 bio sons already, and the wait for a girl from the PI. is longer than the wait for a boy. As I understand it, if you or spouse is of Filipino heritage, you will be given preference. I'm not sure how long the time frame would be. We are using Wide Horizons for Children in Waltham, Ma. and are very pleased with them. I don't know if you are aware or not, but there is another, more active list for the PI, it's a yahoo group, adopt-philippines. I don't know the web address but if you do a search it will pop up. Hope this helps, Shelley
