admin update
Yesterday I received the article 23, this is a very important document as without it we would not be able to leave India, apply for his visa, have the adoption recognised at home, apply for his new passport when we come back etc...
This document is issued by CARA and confirms that all the rules under the The Hague Convention have been followed during the adoption. I was a bit worried. Although CARA were always very friendly in the past, they weren't always very efficient. But low and behold... the article 23 has already been issued :)
I've been spending the last two weeks visiting family and friends. It has certainly helped in making time fly by! Everybody is incredibly excited about J's arrival. Everybody wants to know how I'm feeling... well.... it's hard to describe. I feel remarkably calm at the moment although from time to time I have moments of realisation that finally it's happening and then I get all excited but in a good way. I might feel different on Sunday but still I've had such a long time to prepare for this, lived through every scenario in my mind, I've decided to just let it wash over me. I'll adapt to whatever the situation is.
3 more nights till travel and 5 nights (we have a night flight on Saturday) to meeting our little guy. We are expected at the orphanage on Monday morning :)
