Passport Office catches Fire

Sigh!. I know it sounds like a news headline. Can you believe it? Jay's passports were done, printed out and in the dispatch away bin. And this was all done on Friday. So why couldnt they "dispatch" it on Saturday since Saturday was a working day... WHY??????

The good news is that it was a small fire and only some computer equipment was damaged. Hopefully the dispatch bin is still intact.

We are still leaving on Valentine's Day. I'm praying for a miracle and a miracle it will be to have Jay's passport waiting for us when we get to Kolkata. I wish we had some peace before we travelled but I dont think so... We are going to have to hit the ground running. Please pray for us.

Anila,

I'm thrilled that the time has come for you to travel. We will be praying for Jay's passport to be in Anju's hands before you arrive.

We will also be praying for safe travel and a smooth transition.

Blessings,

Anila, It has been along time since we spoke on the forum. I am so happy that you are finally leaving, don't worry everything will be okay with your passport, Kristi saw something on the site about paying $60 for reprinting in max 3 days incase it is not there. Just think no matter what you will finally have your baby in your arms, I will be praying for you and everyone traveling. I will be excited to see pics of you with your little boy. Give Purnima (Anela) a squeeze from Mommy!
