A Ramya Update and a Reminder of our Court Date

Today we got an update on Ramya.  She was standing up nice and tall in HKFOs that actually FIT HER!  This is huge, and I am so excited to see the smile on her face as she stands in them.  They also said that the therapist requested a walker for Ramya, so there are plans for her to get one soon.  I'm very excited for her!

I opened the description from the orphange to read about how Ramya is doing, and the very first sentence just broke my heart. 

Ramya is usually in her crib.

It was pretty hard to get past that sentence and read the rest of the update with any sort of joy.  All I can think about is my little angel just sitting there and how much of life she is missing out on.  With my background in Education and with what I know about brain development, I can't help but think about how many connections she is not developing because she is not interacting with those around her.  I want her out.  I want her home.  I am just not happy with how long it is taking when she is, quite literally, just sitting there.  I am so sad for her.  I know that she will be home soon, and I know that God's timing is perfect, but I am just struggling right now.  Please be praying for all of our hearts in this last little stretch before we get her home.

Our first court date is August 23rd.  Please pray that the courts see is favorably and that our next court dates are set up shortly after the first.  Please pray that we are approved quickly so that we can bring our little girl home. 

Thank you for your prayers and for helping us bring our Ramya home to us!
