All of my kids are represented in this picture. Delia, Miles, Isaac, and ... Avika!
After two and a half years we are finally on the brink of bringing our daughter, Avika, home from New Delhi,
We got news this week that we received the written papers from court meaning Avika is legally, officially a Bong. We are waiting for her passport to be processed, and then Matt and I will jump on a plane to go meet her and bring her home!
The process has felt long and been frustrating at times but entirely worth it to bring our little girl home. I don't doubt that all of our real adventures, both joyful and challenging, lie ahead. I am waiting to post pictures of her until we get her home and will share more of our process, too. I haven't chronicled our adoption on this blog in an effort to respect Avika's privacy, but would love to answer any questions you might have about our journey.
Isaac, Delia, and Miles are thrilled to have a new sister and can't wait to meet her. We start so many conversations with, "When Avika comes home...". They are all a little sad they won't be travelling to pick her up, especially Delia, but we hope that some day all six of us will travel to India together!
It feels a little surreal to finally be introducing our new addition to the world. Sometimes it felt like this time would never come. Can't wait to show you all about our Indian adventures and have you "meet" our daughter when she comes home!
