We started this adoption process 17 months ago and the day we have been waiting so long for has finally arrived! We applied for adoption in October of 2023 and got matched with her in September of 2024. Now, as of April 2025, the adoption is complete and she is our beautiful daughter! We have been dreaming of this day for so long. We are so happy to have this special girl in our lives. She is worth every bit of the wait," she added.

In another video, Mrs Fischer shared that Nisha was abandoned as a baby and spent her first two years in an orphanage. She further revealed that Nisha was born with bilateral lower limb deformities, but it is not "what defines her."
"We decided to adopt a special needs child for several reasons. But mainly, we wanted to give a new life to a child that never would have gotten it otherwise. Nisha was born with bilateral lower limb deformities. But that fact is not what defines her. She is defined by her smile, her joy, her silliness, and her delightful presence. She deserves the world, even though the world has been so hard on her up until now," the video was captioned.
The Fischers' adoption announcement resonated with many internet users, who praised the couple for their selfless decision to adopt Nisha, a girl child with special needs. One user wrote, "Beyond words! Many blessings to your family for giving her a permanent home! Truly appreciate you!"
Another commented, "Congratulations and huge respect to see how you adopted a indian girl to give her a good life." A third said, "This is the best thing I've seen today! Wonderful and congratulations!"
