The list shows "...Hi and thanks for your blog!<br />The list shows "large" 743 sib groups up to age 7. Was that really an ICBF designation? I'm curious how large the groups can be if the oldest child is 7? We're waiting for a referral of a sib group of two up to age six and are wondering why the wait is so long when the children are already cleared for adoption.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932416299388256731.post-69874367039912184162009-09-14T11:54:30.209-06:002009-09-14T11:54:30.209-06:00Hi,

In our case (our child was 14 when we finally got her), it took us 9 months to go through the process, and we were told it had taken longer because "she was older."(Actually, her papers were lost because of her advanced age: they went to a number of wrong offices before they were finally found.)<br /><br />I am skeptical about the "priority and preferential treatment".Janehttp://www.friendsofcolombianorphans.orgnoreply@blogger.com
