India

Andrew and I went to India in January to bring our new son home -- FINALLY! This adoption took 13 months. There is so much to share and not enough time or space. We were in Southern India for two weeks. We spent the first week in Bangalore, at the orphange.

Here are a few of the caretakers at the orphange.


They care so much for the kids and do a great job. They helped us a lot with everything while we were in Bangalore; with Jerricho, getting things we need around the city and with our hotel accomodations. Below are the kids that are in the same age group with Jerricho. Jerricho is the one in the orange shirt.




We also went to the Deaf School in Bangalore. That was neat to see the children signing (American Sign mixed with a few Indian signs).




Here is an example of the Hindu Temples we saw while we were in Chennai. We were in Chennai to get the visa from the U.S. Consulate. While we were waiting on the visa, we visited a couple of different temples and both were beautiful.





We went to an LDS branch meeting in Chennai. Here is a picture of the chapel. The church is in a basement of a business building.
