Hike in San Jacinto State Park, Idyllwild, California
Since I last shared an update, we were granted the Article 5 letter from the US Embassy in New Delhi. As of today, we have now been waiting one month for the ARC (Adoption Recommedation Committee) in Thor's home state in India to grant us approval for the adoption. This could happen within the next month or 10 months from now. We are aware that it has taken at least six months for another family in the area waiting. Then we will request approval from CARA (Central Adoption Resource Authority) and the local court in Thor's orphanage's city. For now we continue to pray that it is God's will for Thor to come home to be with us soon. I think God is just providing the time He knows I need to nest!
"God knows what you need before you even ask Him."
Matthew 6:8
Really happy for you! Hope he comes home soon. I have been following your journey, and I can't wait to see pics of your son home and playing with his brothers. :-)
ReplyDelete-Stacy (adopting a little girl from Moldova hopefully sometime soon!)
Thank you, Stacy! I pray the same thing for you and your Moldovan babe. The adoption journey certainly has a way of growing our patience, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteOh yes, it does. The Moldovan process seems especially slow, but I am hopeful that things will start moving along soon. I am so happy that everything in India seems to be moving pretty rapidly so far for you. Hope you get to travel soon!
