In a panic ....calling all prayer warriors

Hey gals -- I have some preliminary news .... and I'm not sure it's good.... please pray.

I woke up this morning to an email from NDBox Adoptions -- for those of you that have went through the process, you know this email must be from the US Embassy in New Delhi. This is how they communicate the Article 5 with PAPs.  Well this email said, "We are following up regarding the adoption case of Anjali. We issued the Article 5 letter on July 13, 2011. As we have not heard from you since the issuance of Article 5 letter, we are writing to inquire about the status of this adoption."  My first thought before reading the email was...yea, we got her passport - but that was when I just saw the NDBox adoption.... when I actually read the email.... it was panic.  Here are the challenges:

1.) Our head leader at our agency is on vacation - until Monday.
2.) I'm not sure if her assistant has authority to talk to Bal Asha or work on this today - seems some activities are reserved for the leader's handling.
3.) Our travel VISA expires in September -- so I am just sick with worry that something will happen with bad timing and we won't be able to get Lauren soon.
4.) Did our paperwork get lost in the shuffle?
5.) Is this perhaps a mix up on their part - and it can be easily resolved?

Ladies, please pray this gets resolved quickly -- and perhaps we get priority processing when paperwork is found.  When I shared this with Brad this morning his exact words were this, "I prayed about this during my quiet time last week and God told me we would get news soon, but we wouldn't like it".... of course my response was why didn't you tell me God told you this....and of course began crying...... his response, "and get you in a tizzy for who knows how long until we heard news???? (my husband does know me well)   We don't like this news, but this could actually be good for us, because we now may get it resolved completely. God is at work in this, so I'm confident it will work out."    He is so good, so calm, so patient...... and quite frankly, I'm just not.  I think early on in this process .... like perhaps 1 year to 18 months ago, I was patient, calm, and good....but seriously the last 4-6 months have been tough.  I am soooo ready to have Lauren home and life with her begin. 

At this point, I've given up on having her home before school starts for Joshua.... it just doesn't seem possible at this point.  I know with God anything is possible .... but I'm just not sure it's in the plans, so I submit to the process and timing....and just pray it's before our VISA expires.  Calling all prayer warriors -- you service is needed :)

p.s. - if you are wondering about Joshua - he's doing great at Grandmas -- busy with activities, having fun.... I don't think missing us ...yet :)  Brad and I are missing him like crazy, but enjoying our time together.
