NOC

We have word from CARA (Central Adoption Resource Agency) that our NOC (No Objection Certificate) has been issued. We emailed to check the status of it, and they emailed back telling us- they are more efficient than some of our gov't agencies we have dealt with!

So, Bal Asha has not yet received the actual Certificate yet as they mail it and it can take up to 2 weeks but this is still wonderful news in time for the Holidays! We had thought the NOC would take 12 weeks so this is great as it has been about 7 weeks. At this point we go through a scrutiny committee (who wants another copy of our 2007 tax records and more blood work) and then our case goes before a judge. So, Leah may join our family sooner than we thought!
