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....

We're coming home!

After a very, very exciting week, we are on our way home!!

Amisha's warmed up to us again, so we're hoping her good mood lasts at least for part of the flight :)

We can't even put in words how excited we are to see all of your lovely faces again!! I can sincerely say that I've never missed home as much as I do now, and I hope that this new attitude of being thankful for everything I have (as cliche as that sounds, it's true--you don't really ever feel it until you are completely separated from it), and I hope that at least part of it stays with me over time.

We're going to sleep soon, so we're at least a little fresh for London...Britain, here we come!

Love to you all,
Allie and Mom

Hi,
I am praying for your safe trip home and also that Amisha can tolerate the trip without getting too agitated. I am sure by the time the plane lands, you guys will have her pretty spoiled. :)

Sorry about the "Dehli Belly" and hope it is not too bad.

Love you,

Grandma Judy

Allie,
I have been praying for Amisha since February 2008. When Luke (Swarnadip) came home, there was a picture of him, Prasun and Amisha...I knew Amanda was adopting Prasun and I started praying for Amisha to find a forever family....I AM sitting here in tears, finally knowing that she is coming to a loving home!!

In Christian love,
CindyO.
