She is Ours!

It's still so hard to believe...Hadassah has been legally declared our daughter by the high court in India. It has been a long time coming.

Haddie was around 18 months in this picture.

She is officially ours and we cannot wait until we finally get her home. There is one step standing between us and traveling to pick her up. Now that the orphanage has the written orders from the judge they will then apply for her passport. We were told that the orphanage will apply for her passport next week however we have not been given any time-frame for how long it will take for her passport to be issued. Our agency thinks we could travel in December but there is a chance that we won't travel until next year depending on how quickly her paperwork gets filed and how long the passport office takes.

Guys, we are so close! Please continue to pray for us and her during this last wait. There is much that needs to be done before we travel and of course things will get crazy hectic when we get the travel phone call. Pray that our joy and hope would be set on the Lord in this wait. Some days the wait hangs over my head distracting me from the truth.God has provided and our sweet girl IS coming home. It's just a matter of time. Praise God for ALL that He has done.

Here are a few more pictures, they are quite a bit older though. These were the first glimpses of our daughter that we received back in January. I cannot wait to get my hands on this cutie!

Prayer Requests:
- Jon's visa has still not been issued. We have been waiting over three months now. Pray that his visa will come in time for travel.
- We deeply desire to travel before Christmas. Pray that everything falls into place so that we can spend Christmas together as a family of 4!
