Notice: CARA Lifts Temporary Suspension of Acceptance of New Dossiers
This is an update to our notice dated October 5, 2011 announcing a temporary suspension on the acceptance of new intercountry adoption cases in India.
CARA has informed the U.S. Central Authority that effective January 20, 2012, it will begin accepting new adoption applications under its new guidelines.
Under the new guidelines dossiers must be forwarded to CARA. CARA will no longer accept any dossier through a RIPA.
If you have any questions about the details of the guidelines or suspension, please do not hesitate to contact us by phone at 1-888-407-4747 or e-mail us at adoptionUSCA@state.gov.
***Please note: the DOS Notice states that CARA will begin accepting applications on January 20, 2012 and the Notice is dated March 7, 2012, either DOS has a typo in the date or the tense. PEAR has submitted a request for clarification.
Ethics, Transparency, Support
