Passport Update -- Yippee... kindof

Spoke with our agency today and received some good news.  Apparently, Anjali's passport has been issued and "it's in the mail" to the orphanage.  Given location, etc.... that sometimes takes a little longer than one would expect.  So since it is not actually "in-hand" - we still wait to get our flights, but we have a couple of options for tentative travel plans...which is VERY exciting.  One somewhat downer is that given the tight window and the fact that our VISA expires in a few weeks, we will be applying for a new VISA to be on the safe side. 

But God is so good - even though additional costs for new VISAs (we won't be expediting them this time), we also found out several expenses we've budgeted for are actually less than anticipated. 

We are cautiously excited (until we know the orphanage has that long awaited passport in hand)... and perhaps a little in shock, because in a month or so, we'll be home with our precious daughter.  Thank you so much for your prayers and support :) 

This very long journey is just beginning ........
