We have passed court!!!! It's time to make travel plans!

The judge officially signed the court order on Wednesday, December 17, 2008. Praise God! The bonds were submitted and the lawyer picked up the court order later that week. Now, the folks in India are applying for Ambika's visa and passport. We are also applying for our visas and getting travel plans in place. We are going to try to go between M1 and M2 birthdays. We might not be able to, but that's what we will shoot for.

We are so excited and are ready to go!

December 15- Gotcha Day!

We are scheduled to have our FINAL court hearing on December 15. We are earnestly praying that the judge signs the guardianship papers and we can begin travel plans. Since I last wrote, the judge did our evidence and argument hearings on the same day, thank God. It was actually on our Thanksgiving day, which is so appropriate!

I have been in touch with our new adoption agency several times this week as our case is in its final stages and every minute counts. Sadly our old agency had to close its doors due to the economy and so we were transfered. I know our new agency will do a great job, but it's still sad to be at the end of this journey without them.

I am attaching some new photos of the Indian Angel. She is absolutely precious. Here's hoping and praying the judge finds favor with us and grants us guardianship. We are ready to go!!!
