Orphanage Gifts and India News

We finally heard back from the orphange and basically they are STILL waiting on the courts to send them the paperwork saying the adoption is official.  That means the orphanage is still waiting to apply for Ramya's passport.  Sigh.  Please be praying this will be done quickly!

In other news, my friend Amanda (who is most likely joining me in India... WOOO HOOOO!!) has very generously decided to try and purchase gifts and supplies for the kids in the orphanage (about 100 kids).   She is raising money to be able to purchase gifts for the kids and has two different ways you can help:

1. You can donate directly to her and she will be purchasing the items.  Her paypal is amanda.mcmahon@gmail.com
2. Amanda will be donating 15% of all of her thirty-one orders purchased between now and November 15th.  You can purchase great items and help bring toys and supplies to the orphanage by following this link:  http://www.mythirtyone.com/shop/eventhome.aspx?eventId=E2465535&from=DIRECTLINK

Oh, and we are home from the hospital!!  I'm VERY excited about that one :).  Thanks for checking in on us!
