Journey Back to India: Wilson Adoption Part 2

Danielle Wilson
Danielle Wilson Henrico, Virginia

Hello! We are the Wilson Family- Aaron, Danielle, and Ivy. We are currently working to adopt 1-3 children from India.

We have been blessed with a $7,171.00 matching grant from WayPoint Community Church Adoption Fund, administered by Lifesong for Orphans.” This means that every $1 donated up will turn into $2 up to $7,171. 

Adoption has been in our hearts and minds even before we were married. On our first date we spoke of adopting and having children from around the world. We know that God has adopted us into his family and we are apart of a great extended family. Aaron and Danielle have been married for 14 years. In 2024 we brought home our first child through adoption, Ivy Marie Itishree Wilson. The process was long but worth it, we were supported with love, encouragement, finances, and prayer! All along the way God provided for every need, we were never alone. Eight months after being home with Ivy, we have decided to continue to grow our family through adoption. We are praying for a sibling group. Ivy is excited to have a brother or sister, or combination of the two. We are in this together as a family. We’re thankful for prayer, support, and encouragement.

Home Study Approved

June 24, 2025

We found out today that our Home Study Report has been completed and approved!! Praise the Lord. This is the first major step towards bringing a baby brother, baby sister, or both home. The Home Study Report basically says in the eyes of the state of Virginia they do not protest to us adopting a child or children from India. 

Through your generosity we were able to submit payment to our home study agency for our 6 post adoption reports. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!

Next step is the apply for I800A to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services for permission to adopt children ages 0-14 years old from India. This approval can take about 1-2 months. 

Once we submit this application, we will work on registering with the Central Adoption Resource Agency in India and gathering of paperwork that will be sent to India. It is a fine balance of when to gather the paperwork that will be sent to India because it will need to be updated in 1 year… So if I do it too early then I will have to redo it but also I don’t want to have to be waiting on stuff if I don’t have to. 

We ask that you all lift us up in prayers while we wait, fundraise, and trust in the Lord for everything to unfold in His perfect timing and according to His will. 

Blessings, 

Aaron, Danielle, and Ivy Wilson
