hours away

We made it to Kolkata last night and we are now only a couple hours from heading over to ISRC - We'll come back from there instant parents :-)

We promise a nice lengthy picture filled blog entry tonight. We have a lot to share about our time in Chennai, meeting Gayathri and the other girls at Hope House, Cliff's run in with some bad food that kept him in bed with a bucket for a whole day (this we will not share pictures of!)....and we'll of course have much to share I'm sure about our adventure today..

Tami & Cliff,
We can't wait to see pictures of little Raina in your arms! We are all on pins and needles! :o)
I wonder if it will feel as surreal to you as it did for all of us!
Looking forward to the new post!

Tami and Cliff,
How excited were were to hear at India Camp that you were on your way to India to get your daughter! (We missed you though.) We are SO very happy for you. We pray that you will have a safe trip and an easy adjustment as you become a new family. Raina is beautiful! Congratulations!! May you be blessed as we all have been blessed through you!
love,
Mike and Jill

Tami & Cliff,

So glad that you are in Kolkatta...and by now you probably already have your precious Raina in your arms. Looking forward to that long blog post :)

Get some rest and enjoy your sweet baby girl.

Sending hugs and love your way!!!

Nadra, Charlie & Ian

"One gets only a day or two in an entire lifetime as incredible as the day we first saw your face."
I'm sure this sums up your feelings from today! Can't wait to hear all about it and see photos of your beautiful family.
Love, Amy, Ajay, Maya, and Tasha (woof!)

Cliff & Tami,

Just wanted to say how proud I am of both of you. I can't believe you will soon be parents! Thank for allowing us to share in the process with you. Sorry to hear about the bad food Cliff - hang in there.
Welcome to the family Raina!

Love,
Mike

Tami and Cliff,

I can't wait for the pictures! It will be precious to see little Raina in your arms!
I am anxious to see pictures from the Hope House too. I hope you have some pictures to post of Sandhya(the girl that we sponsor there). I so wanted to visit there too when we were in India, but it just didn't work out for us. I hope someday we can.
Enjoy the rest of your trip, I know you will, and I hope Cliff feels better!

Lynda, James
Javin, Isaac, Olivia and Sananda

Cliff now do you understand why I don't like Indian food? :)

Get better fast!

I hope it was fabulous today at ISRC. Can't wait to see the pics of your family. We are so thankful to have you helping us get our son home, when we know how close the cause is to your heart.

Enjoy!

Melissa said...

Tami and Cliff, it gives me chills just thinking about what you are experiencing with Raina and how blessed that time really was with Anela. It truly is a miracle, I will be obsessively checking this blog until we hear from you.
Congrats again, Melissa K.
