My college roommate was Filipino. My neighbor is Filipino. A few years ago I met one of my best friends who is also Filipino and lives in Manila. Over the years she has taught me bits and pieces of Tagalog (the official language of the Philippines). The Philippines does not allow you to adopt infants (which works for us, since we're looking for a three year old!), and they don't allow you to pick gender (thank God, because I can't decide)! *I feel like* God might have been directing us to the Philippines for years. But I guess we'll find out.
I researched agencies that have programs with the Philippines and I found one that is based in NC (where we live). It said, "Philippines program now open to NC residents!" I don't know if it was a sign or not. But it was exciting. I have their number and I will call them today and find out if this is something we might be interested in.
Wish us luck! (Or just prayer would be nice... a lot of it!)
