Surprise Baby Shower

Tonight I thought we were just going out to dinner at a local restaurant; however, when we arrived there were a bunch of friends from our neighborhood. I was so surprised; I had no idea. We got all sorts of fun toys for the plane ride and the practical presents too, which we needed! The clothes were all so cute and it really made me excited. It feels real now! It's so nice to have such great friends! Thank you so much girls I truly appreciated it!

The curse of the endless paperwork and the tight underwear

Hi Everyone!
Just when we thought it was all over...another round of paperwork began today. We were working on what seemed like an endless amount of immigration paperwork tonight. The good news is we think we are done. We submitted our forms for review to our adoption agency.

Dhruv is constantly reminding us how many days we have left. He realized today that he only has 3 more days of school left before we leave for India. Speaking of Dhruv, I received a interesting phone call today from the school nurse. Apparently Dhruv reported that his underwear was too tight today. I guess we will add that to our list of things still to do before we leave!

Getting Ready

Today was mostly spent preparing for Ajay. We went to the outlets and purchased new items for out trip . We also talked about how we will react when we see Ajay for the first time and what we will do and what we thought Ajay will do. We bought new sneakers, clothes, and headphones for our iPods and Dhruv's new dvd player. Our excitement is building as the day gets closer.

Welcome!

Thank you for taking time to visit our blog. We are very excited to share our adoption story with you.

May 24, 2008 - Waiting for Ajay

We have been waiting for this day to come for many years. We received a phone call on Thursday letting us know that we are able to travel to get our new son, Ajay in India. We will finally get to meet our handsome baby boy. We have prayed for him for so long and our prayers are finally coming true on June 9th we will hold him in our arms. Everyone is so excited to meet him. We will begin our India journey on June 3rd. We will be leaving from Philadelphia.

Our son Dhruv has started a countdown and it is 10 days from today! We went shopping today for luggage and toys. Yesterday we went shopping for new clothes. It was very important that Dhruv bought matching outfits for both of them. He picked out 2 brightly colored t-shirts for them to wear together in India. They are yellow and orange. Dhruv proudly marched them up to the register and told them that they were for his baby brother in India and him to wear when they meet in India for adoption. He is so excited to meet his new baby brother. He has so many things he wants to teach his new brother. Tomorrow we will be doing some more shopping. Tonight we hope to catch up on some sleep. It was a busy night last night. We were up late making flight reservations and trying to make hotel reservations.
