Our Family video

One of the things that we needed to do for the dossier paperwork (things that are sent over to India) was to make a family video to introduce ourselves to Anjali. We had a great time as a family making this video this summer. We sent a slightly different version with more narration over to India so that she could her our voices (and also English words). She is fluent in Indian (Hindi) but does know some English. The staff at the orphanage show this video to her with the hope that Kevin and I will look familiar to her when we meet her. They are also working on English words with her. She sings the ABC's in English and also knows some nursery rhymes in English. We pray that she will continue to learn our language and that she will catch on quickly to it once she is home with us.

Kevin & Carmen:
What a great site, thanks for telling us about it at last night's meeting. It was wonderful to see a picture of Anjali and hear that her arrival in your home is getting closer. She is indeed a child blessed by God to become a part of your family. Thank you for living out your faith so freely for all of us to be blessed by it as well. We

Wow! I love the video and what perfect music! Anjali is so blessed to soon be with such a loving, caring, Christian family. The journey has been long but the end reward is priceless! I will continue to pray for you and look forward to the day when your famil is all together!
