We are still waiting for a referral. We are praying it comes soon!

After 18 weeks and 6 days, we finally got "permission to be excited" aka CARA APPROVAL!!!!! This means India looked at all of our paperwork (homestudy, clearances, referrals, etc) and approved us to adopt from their country.
The next step is matching with a child and that can happen ANY DAY!
Thank you to all who have been in our corner praying for approval of this HUGE step 🥰🥳

We are 2 weeks away from reaching 16 weeks since we applied to India! It seems like the average wait is a tad longer than 16 weeks right now, but definitely could still have approval around that time! Please pray for a quick and seamless approval from India 🙏🏻 for our family!
After we are approved we can start receiving referrals 🥰 That's when this whole process will feel real to me, I think!
Here's an updated checklist I just realized I never posted 😊

Discovering this at the bottom of our donation box on Sunday was a heartwarming surprise 🥹 Thank you to all who donate to our adoption fund 💞 Your kindness is making an impact!

Ahhh!! We received our i800a approval letter today 🥳🥳📣🙌🏻
This is basically the United States giving us permission to adopt internationally.
Also, we are more than half way through our wait for India to process our application to adopt a special needs child from their country!
Right around Easter is when we expect to hear from them 😀🐰

We are 4 weeks into our 4 month (ish) wait for India to approve our application to adopt 🥳 Time is going by so fast now that the wait isn't on us to be doing the homework 😅 However, we are planning fundraisers and filling out/ researching grants while we wait.
This week we have our biometrics appointment for immigration and then we wait for approval from them.
Things are moving along 🫶

2 big updates today!
Our coordinator emailed to let us know she officially completed our CARA registration on Jan 1 🎊
And our payment to USCIS was processed today, so we have officially applied for the i800 🥳
Let the (hopefully only 4-5 months) countdown begin 😁😁😁

We received the rest of our apostilles in the mail today 🥳🥳🥳 Which was a wonderful Christmas gift 🙌
I scanned them all over to our coordinator, so I'd suspect we will be registered with CARA *very* soon 😁
