News but not Good News . . .

Well there is some good news - the judge approved 3 cases of Dillon's 9 that were waiting but ours was not one of them. We are so happy for the families that got approved as we know how hard this wait has been. Our paperwork made it to India by Thursday but he did not hear any cases on Friday. So as I posted earlier the courts are closed next week so we will not have any news until the following week. The up and down emotions are the hard part of this, oh and the fact that we have absolutely no control over any of it! We are learning so much about trusting God and knowing He has a plan for our lives.

There is a family in India this week receiving their little boy and we are celebrating with them! It was thrilling to hear that she got to tour the orphanage and that she might have seen our little one. Just to hear that the ayahs (nannies) at the orphanage so clearly love and care deeply for the kids makes you feel a little better. Alysha was very well taken care of and so loved that we know Jaya is receiving the exact same care.

So we do not have any definite news just more waiting. We started this process 2 years and 3 months ago and I never would have thought that it would take this long.

While we wait we are going to enjoy every minute with Alysha which includes some sled riding and snowman building which we are off to do right now! I will post some pictures later!
