It's been a stressful couple of days. Our court papers were FedExed to the Texas ICPC office on Tuesday, April 13. It could take as little as 7 days and as much as 3 weeks for final approval within the two states. After ICPC approval, I was told that we will travel VERY soon because of Kahlia health condition. It's hard not knowing how many weeks we have - I like to be able to "plan" and the unknown is killing us!! It's also REALLY hard for Scott and his campaign not knowing when we will travel. I'm getting nervous about all the unknowns that will be coming our way over the next couple of weeks.
Called our insurance company today to ask about what we need to do to make sure Kahlia is going to be covered as soon as she gets here. They said that we need to submit official court documents from India when she is officially ours (we didn't even have them ourselves) within 31 days of the court date. We are at 26 days already now!!! Wow - I am SO glad I called when I did! We need to not mess this up since we are going to have THOUSANDS of dollars of medical bills this year for her!!
Please pray that we will be able to use our airline miles to get free tickets there even though we will have very little notice. Scott doesn't think we will, but I am holding out hope that we will!
Today Scott walked door to door for over 4 hours in Reedsport, had a tea party gathering at noon that he spoke at (David and I were there too), and tonight he is at another tea party gathering in Coos Bay. Busy, Busy day! Scott needs lots of extra prayer for strength, stamina, and faith that GOD IS IN CONTROL!
Looking forward to our future, as unsure as it is... :-)

It is here that I've been documenting our adoption story. It was a discouraging journey for many years, but we are now in the midst of an amazing story. Kahlia has blessed us beyond words. She has filled our hearts completely with who God made her to be, and none of us could imagine our life with out her. We are now a family of six and continue on with the journey we call LIFE. Colossians 1:17 - He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
Wow, Michelle! You all have so much going on! I'm so glad you're sharing updates here. I'll be praying for your unknowns. God bless you during your waiting.
