Three Brothers Remain Together and Find a Family
We now have nine families with dossiers in regional offices, awaiting assignment. We are beginning to see assignments for the families that have requested sibling groups and older children. The assignment of babies is still slow and most families who send dossiers have been asked for an addendum, slowing the process down even further. ICBF is aware of the causes for the decrease in the number of children declared abandoned and is taking steps to resolve the logjam.

We now have ten families with dossiers in regional offices, awaiting assignment! In addition, we have another 8 families with dossiers being reviewed in Colombia that have asked for older children, sibling groups, or who were born in Colombia that should be sent out soon to regional offices.

Our families whose dossiers were approved in July 2005 for infants have either been assigned or are waiting in a Regional Office for assignment. Since those families were approved to the very end of July, we will now be waiting for news on our August 2005 families.
