The long awaited announcement - CARA registered!

Today is an exciting day we have been waiting for 8 long weeks!

We had an unexpected bump in the road with our home study.  If you've been following along you know..as soon as our's was completed India changed the format of how they would accept them. Our social had the daunting task of reworking all the home studies she had open (including our's).

But all is well today and we are so excited that we've officially been registered with CARA!   CARA is the Central Adoption Resource Authority for the country of India.  It is the government entity that oversees adoptions in the country.



So what does that mean?  All of the paperwork gathering and more we've been doing - India now has it.

Where do we go from here?  India will review everything we've prepared and gathered for them. They will then approve us to adopt from their country.  Once we are approved - we can get matched with a child!

Thank you SO much to everyone who has been on this journey with us thus far. Now, we need prayer that our approval process will move quickly!

Tomorrow is our big yard sale to benefit our adoption.  While running a million errands today and baking cookies - I threw on this tee from my sweet friend Caitlin (who's also adopting from India).  I like to think it brought us some luck today!
