We can hardly believe we have our tickets and that it is getting so close to meeting our daughter (and sister) for the first time. Kevin and I are leaving for India on Tuesday, November 11 to pick her up. We are so excited to be at this point in the journey and are preparing for our trip to finally hold her in our arms. We have made all of our flight and hotel reservations and have things lined up for getting around India. Our agency has been helpful and does offer recommendations and assistance with some of those things which has been great. We arrive in India very late on the 12th and will meet her at the orphanage on Thursday the 13th. We will be able to see where she has been living and spend some time with her on that day. We will then return on Friday to CWB and take her with us that day and she will be be ours! We spend the first part of the trip in Mumbai and then fly to Delhi on Sunday night. There will be a few appointments at the US Embassy on Monday and Tuesday and possibly Wednesday. At this point we are scheduled to arrive at home on Thursday afternoon November 20 where her big brothers and adoring sister will be anxiously waiting to meet her!
We thank you for your continued prayers for Anjali and for us as we prepare to travel and leave Austin, Mariah and Nolan at home for a while. Pray that all of the final details will be worked out and that we can enjoy some family time before we become a family of 6. We know that there are many who are praying us through and we feel so blessed to have friends and family who will be helping us out. We appreciate all of you! God has blessed us!
