We are in India!!

We are finally in India. We had about a 2 hour delay in Atlanta. We landed in Newark at around 8pm and our flight for New Dehli was to leave at 8:25 pm. David and Emily and I ran through the airport just to find out that our flight was delayed until 10pm. That dealy ultimately truned into a 3 hour delay. I think we finally took off at 11:30pm. The plane ride was not too bad. Getting our luggage took a while. Rajeev was waiting for us and now we have checked in to our room and need to go to sleep. Rajeev will be here at 10:30 am to take us for our flight to Bhubaneswar. I will update when we get there. We didn't get to see much tonight. Glad to finally be here.

PRAISE GOD DOCUMENTS ARE HERE!

We woke up to an email this morning stating that our documents had finally arrived. We now begin the wait for ICPC approval which is about 3-4 weeks. Please pray that it will take less time instead of more time. Briana we are getting closer everyday!
Thanks and hope to update again soon.

documents maybe???

Well I ahve been told that our documents are expected this week. Seeing that it is Friday the chances are getting slimmer. Please pray that we get them today or tomorrow and they can be scanned. If that happens then the ICPC process can start asap. Would really love to be going in march. Hope to post very good news soon.

Still no travel dates.

Here we are at the beginning of Febuary waiting for those court documents to be translated. I still can't believe that it is taking so long to get this done. It has almost been as long as it was for us to pass court. 10 weeks this thursday since We were told that we were out of court. It looks like it will probably be sometime in March before we get to go. It just amazes me how things work in international adoption. You truly never know how long something is going to take. The waiting and wondering is about to drive me CRAZY! I know GOd is in control, but I still often ask Him why it is taking so long. Please continue to pray that we get some good news this weeek. If we don't then we will probably have to get started on updating our homestudy, it will be year old in April. We really didn't want to have to do all that again but we will if we have to. PLease, Please let us hear something this week!! While we wait Briana is waiting also! It just kills me to know we are this close to bringing her home and we can't go yet.
I hope I can update soon with good news.
Blessings, Jill

No travel dates yet

We are still waiting for our court documents to be translated so we can get ICPC clearance. We thought we would be leaving this month but it looks like it will be sometime in Feb. Please pray that we hear something very soon. The waiting is hard sometimes. I get anxious but I know God is in control and He has a reason for us to wait. Hope to report good news soon. Briana we will be there as soon as we can.
Blessings, Jill
