Your Voices Were Heard: Intercountry Adoption Remains a Priority
We’re grateful to share encouraging news: the U.S. Department of State has reaffirmed that intercountry adoption remains a priority, with adoption visas eligible for National Interest Exceptions and prioritized processing. This is a meaningful victory for children and families.
This blog post shares our full update on what this means for adoptive families and the next steps.

This is a story of nearly impossible odds, quiet prayers, and a God who hears.
