July 06, 2009 Our silent Indian princess will be coming home soon!!!!

This is the only new picture of our Grace Sneha where she is smiling, but it is blurry.

Good News!!!!!!Our Grace Sneha had her final court date so we are waiting on her final decree papers (2-3 days) and then the passport (10-15 days). Maybe we will travel in July or possibly August, but these are just my travel predictions. She has waited so many years to come home. Our Grace Sneha has been in the orphanage since she was about three years old. She was left alone at a train station when she was so sick she couldn't walk or stand on her own and stricken with hunger and malnutrition.

May 30, 2009 Still waiting for news from India.........

Our Elijah as a baby after entering the orphanage in November of 2001.

We have a second hearing date for India for our Grace Sneha May 13, 2009 - and we should have news soon there after.

April 22, 2009

We are hoping that no news is good news in regards to waiting on the courts and India. We have now passed the one year and six month waiting time, eighteen months, or a fall, a winter, a spring, a summer, a fall, a winter, and now another spring. So we shall wait until our Sneha in India comes home to her family.

When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her. It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed. We have refused to be instruments of love in the hands of God to give the poor a piece of bread, to offer them a dress with which to ward off the cold. It has happened because we did not recognize Christ when, once more, he appeared the the guise of pain, identified with a man numb from the cold, dying of hunger, when he came in a lonely human being, in a lost child in search of a home?--Mother Teresa
