It’s been some weeks already since we went to Pondicherry to file the papers for adoption. Then we discovered that some “minor” (!) details needed to be corrected. Then, the lawyer informed us that for that to be done, one of us would have to travel to Pondicherry again. Then it transpired that first the renewal licence of the agency would have to come through. When that happened, the family court decided to shift to new premises, so the lawyer suggested waiting till that was done. Meanwhile, Amit is travelling again next week, so naturally, neither of us can be in Pondicherry at that time. I’m sure that, by the time he returns, it will be time for yet another advocates’ strike in Pondicherry. After that, probably someone will fall sick or something. It seems like this is never going to get done.
On the flip side, though, at least we have our kids. Reading other adoption blogs, I’m horrified by how much more trouble others have to go through to bring their kids home. So I shouldn’t complain.
Still, I do wish it would all get done and quickly.

Let’s just enjoy the kids. The paper work will happen in it’s own time.

Best of luck with this and I guess I can say I understand in the sense that my immigration process was horrible. All the tears and struggle-aie aie aie.
