Adoption

As some of you may have already heard, our IVF at Taichung was not successful. We tested negative for pregnancy. Dr Lee said everything is fine with me and hubby, embryos just did not implant this time, probably because they were not in the right place. We just need to keep trying.


For me and hubby, we planned to try IVF just once. If it didn't work out, we would continue just trying on our own and start exploring adoption as well. We talked to a friend of ours who adopted 2 of her kids several yrs ago. She referred us to the NGO from where she did the adoption. The NGO is called NORFIL, and is one of only 2 entities that are authorized to process adoptions aside from DSWD. So if you want to avoid the bureacracy and slowness of govt agencies like DSWD, going directly to an entity like NORFIL might be a good choice. NORFIL is located at:

#16 Mother Ignacia Ave., corner Roces Avenue,
Quezon City

If you wish to call them, their Tel. Nos are: 372-3577 to 79. Look for Cessna. She's in charge of adoptions.

You can also find out more about them thru their website:

The first step is to set an appt with them for an orientation session (ours is this Dec 4). Usually lasts about 1 and a half hours. They will give an orientation on the process, reqts etc. There will be other couples there as well.

Will let you know more after we've gone through the session.
