As of tomorrow, we will join that elite group in the adoption world known as the "Four Timers Club." If you haven't heard of it, it's because we are a small, exclusive group -- and we sincerely hope you will never have to join us!
Tomorrow we will drive two hours each way to renew our fingerprints for the fourth time. Sarah's family and Karen's family have gone before us, so we are in good company . . . It has been a privilege to take this journey with them, but I wish none of us had to be part of this particular club.
We did receive an e-mail from our orphanage today containing our court documents, and it included a beautiful new (to us) photo of Kavya! But no passport news yet. It gave me goosebumps to read the official statements that we are her parents -- that will tide me over for now.

We only made it to the 3 timers club, but if for whatever reason, for Treya we had to be tested for HIV four times! Guess what? We still don't have it.
Hope that passport news comes soon!

You are SO close!!
Four times = a long process! You are so, so close and I can't wait to hear the sweet news that you can go meet her!

I think of your family often in your wait for passport! We thought we were in the wait too but just found out our written court documents still haven't arrived...so more waiting. We're about to renew our fingerprints for the first time. Sure hope we don't join your club...and excited that you WON'T be in the five timers club!! :)
Aha! The 4-Timers Club. I think I was in denial that I was in this club at all! But yes... you are right... 4.
So very very close now... you will have her in your arms. Wow. It's kind of amazing!
Man. Crazy. I am really hoping not to join your club. I will be satisfied staying in the 3-timer club. :) sooooo excited for you.
Yuck--so sorry for this news. I'm praying that the next post is one filled with super exciting news!! So happy that you received new pictures. I'm sure those are so coveted. Can't wait for our very first pics of our little one!
