1st Post
We started our adoption journey back in January 2008. It was a long and refining process for both Kyle and I. Our hearts stopped at one disabled girl all the way on the other side of the world. We wrestled for months with this life changing decision...I know it is a lot for everyone to understand with our house already being a little chaotic. It was Kyle's final word: he just wanted to give someone a home that wouldn't have one. So, we started the long journey to bring Amisha home. With the courts slowing and adoption tightening up, we were surprised to have received guardianship approval, almost the final hoop on the long process on September 24th. The paperwork was received in the United States on Friday, October 3rd. Our estimated plans to travel are November 1st. Allie and I will be going this time. There are 2 other families from the US that will be traveling around then and picking up their children form the same home. More updates soon....

You are the perfect couple for this blessed little girl.

Amisha is gorgeous! I'm so glad you started this blog and I look forward to meeting you in India!!! I didn't realize that Amisha and my daughter Daya are 2 months apart in age. :) I'm praying that our babies' passports are issued this week!!!!

I am so happy to "meet" Amisha's family through the internet. Luke, my son, is a crib buddy of Amisha's. We have a picture of her with him right before he came home. I am so happy for Amisha and for your family!!
