For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope.....

...for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. Romans 8:24-25
While most people start a blog at the beginning of their adoption journey I find myself putting together one at the end. Why? It can be answered by the first question they ask you when you start to put together the blog..."Title for your blog?" That was enough to stop me. Something so personal...what should my blog say? I knew it should express HOPE. Knowing there is hope in every situation, at every place in your life and that hope can never run out. We're adding to our family again: a little girl named Amisha. She will have spent her first three years in an orphanage this coming October 10th. I wonder if she held on to hope... she has a condition called schizencephaly. Her time here on earth will be determined by complications as time passes. For now we will bring her home, love her and hope....

Amisha'a passport has been issued!!!

We received word this morning that her passport has been issued and that the Childrens home should receive it tomorrow. Nothing can stop us now!! As an added blessing we received a photo of our little girl from someone that was traveling through Calcutta in September. Here it is.....Photobucket
Oh, she looks tired to me....so sad! Three years is long enough there, it is time to get on the plane.

I know you don't know me but I have been praying for your daughter now for almost 2 years and wanted to let you know you are an answer to my prayers for her!!! I only wish I could be there when you hold her in your arms for the first time!!!

I can not wait to see her in the family that God has had for her all this time--thank you for having this blog ( Amanda and Cindy gave me the site)as I cherish seeing your love for her. God Bless you and your family.
