We got two AMAZING pieces of news regarding the adoption in just one week's time.
1. We were given word that the Promise686 adoption grant we'd applied for back in early November had been awarded to us! This matching grant is substantial and will help us TREMENDOUSLY as we work toward finalizing the necessary financial obligations in this process.
(Promise686 is a new non-profit ministry dedicated to serving the needs of “the fatherless” both here and abroad. They are committed to inspiring and equipping families in the North Atlanta area to foster and adopt with the goal of placing children in loving, permanent, Christian homes. They believe this is God’s heart and have taken the name for this ministry from the promise found in Psalms 68:6a.
“God sets the lonely in families…”
Thank you, Promise686 for your overwhelmingly generous gift!
2. Next, our agency emailed us to let us know that CARA (governing agency in India pertaining to all things adoption) has finally matched us with an orphanage!
After waiting a little over two months, we know the city! That's big news, people!
Next step in the process...waiting for the referral. Basically, the referral is when the orphanage takes our homestudy and dossier (tons of detailed information about our family) and matches us with a child based upon that information. No timeline regarding when this will happen, so we wait patiently until it comes to pass.
For now, we are reveling after receiving two GINORMOUS pieces of good news in just one week.
Thank you for praying faithfully. Your prayers have helped to move two big mountains this week!
