Just an update

Wanted to let everyone know that last week CARA, the agency in India that overseas all adoptions in India has visited ISRC (the home where the children stay at until they find their forever families). They were very impressed with the care they are providing the children. Now they just needed to return and draft up a letter so that ISRC's license can be renewed. Until that time no referrals will be coming. We ran into this same issue while waiting for our referral of Ahly, since it has to be renewed every three years. At that time the license didn't come through until early August. So I am hopeful that by the end of September we could have our referral. I know it may be wishful thinking, but right now it's all I got!

On a lighter note - should I say more practical. We decided to fore go the Disney trip this year and wait until we are a family of four :) Instead we invested in a camper for ourselves. Tenting was fun, but not practical with a 3 year old - not to mention Mom and Dad were tired of an air mattress :0

I am also asking that you pray for dear friends of ours. The Conners, this family traveled with us to India the first time to pick-up their son Ian. They are now waiting to get the OK to travel to Vietnam to pick-up their son Drew. There is just one piece of paper that needs approval, yet it's the obstacle between them and their son. Drew will be 1 in July and they would like very much to have him home by that time.

As always...... more as it comes......
