Lifted Out Of The Water

Good news! We have been submitted into the CARA (Central Adoption Resource Authority) database!  Which means we can now be matched with a child! This process can take a few months or a few years (so don't hold your breath quite yet). We are feeling so blessed and cannot wait to see God's timing unfold. Please continue to pray for CARA and India. As of now, agencies are only able to see an EXTREMELY small percentage of children. This list is rotated every month, but 80% of the children on the list tend to already be adopted or have already been viewed in previous months. These issues have been brought to CARA's attention, but changes still need to be made. Pray for quick and positive changes, proper training, and a more effective referral process. Thank you for your prayers and support!

We have sent off our I-800a Form to the U.S. Customs and Immigrations! This may not make much sense to those outside the adoption community, but basically the approval of this form and our fingerprints deem us suitable to adopt internationally. A big MUST! One of the last pieces to our puzzle! Once we get this form approved (which can take up to 2 months) we can send in our dossier and begin our wait! Please pray that this form is properly received, processed, and approved. Please also continue to pray for India, its adoption procedures, and our future baby. Thank you for your love and support!
