An independent voice for ethical adoption
From the Filipino Inter-County Adoption Board:
April 23, 2009
Dear Partners of ICAB,
Due to the large number of unmatched approved adoption applications of Prospective Adoptive Parents wanting to adopt children within the age range of 0-2 years old with or without medical/developmental concerns coupled with the limited number of chidlren of such category, effective MAY 1, 2009, ICAB has set a moratorium on accepting new applicants wanting to adopt from the abovementioned category.
ICAB shall resume accepting new applications for the aforementioned categories only after it has processed at least 50% of the existing families in our current list. Starting May 1, 2009, only families who would want to adopt a child three (3) years old and above would be considerd by ICAB.
We hope for your cooperation and continued support. Thank you.
Vdery truly yours,
BERNADETTE B. ABEJO
Executive Director
