Paperwork Frustration

I have fallen behind in updating my blog. So here is a summary of recent events:

Saturday, September 10- Received notice from USCIS that our I800 and I800A were renewed.
Monday, September 12- We were issued our Visas to India. Also we had a Pampered Chef fundraiser for Open Hearts, Open Homes. We were given $100 towards our adoption and we raised $75 for the Robertson family, $75 for the Entner family and enough rolled in the next day that it looks like we'll be able to also give $50 to the Carbaugh family! Thank you to all for your generous contributions!
Friday, September 16- VCT received our Court Orders. We celebrated for about an hour before realizing there were huge errors in the orders. We notified Holt and they said the orders must be corrected in order for a smooth finalization process here in the U.S. However, they said it shouldn't hold up her passport or our travel plans. We also found out that day that since we reside in Illinois, we are exempt from the ICPC (a big paperwork step required by most states). So that is a praise!
Today- VCT notified Holt that the errors are actually significant enough that they cannot apply for her passport until those orders are corrected.

We would greatly appreciate prayers that the Orders could be corrected quickly so they can apply for her passport. Since we don't have to do the ICPC, we can travel to bring her home as soon as she has her Indian passport. Thank you so much, Prayer Warriors!!
