It may be easiest if I simply quote part of the message we received today from Bethany...
(reminder: ICBF is basically child protective services, they oversee adoptions etc)
As a result of these new regulations being passed by ICBF, some of our adoption houses have had to apply for re-accreditation through ICBF. This is a common procedure and is not something that normally would be a cause of concern. However, due to the extensive pieces of information that ICBF is requesting during this process at this time, some of the adoption houses have chosen to put all cases and matters on "hold" until they are re-accredited. Two of our adoption houses, Chiquitines and Ayudame, have made this decision at this time. We have not heard whether or not Los Pisingos or CRAN will also make that decision...
I think my heart just stopped for a second there. We knew there was "stuff" going on, but we have been anxiously praying that this would not happen..
While it has not been confirmed that Los Pisingos will put us on hold, it is possible and I am trying to prepare myself for it. My heart breaks with all the families who are waiting. We obviously want what is best for these children, and yet it is hard to not be disappointed. We can somewhat handle disappointments, but it is hard to think that there are children who have to wait longer in order to meet their forever families...
