So I distorted it on the computer so that I felt more comfortable placing it on this site. As soon as I get my drawing done I will put it up instead. Isn't she beautiful? I am so excited! I wish I could get everything done faster. It feels like I'm trudging through mud. I want her home with us so much!

Tamra, congratulations on the referral to Rani. I know the excitement and the anxiety! I wish you a speedy NOC and an even speedier court process so Rani can come home to you and the rest of her family. Thank you for visiting my site. It will become more adoption oriented when we have more to report about our process (we are in the long boring "hurry up and wait for a NOC" phase right now!) Once Jyoti comes home I expect our blog to contain regular updates about her. Meanwhile I am keeping it more broad and focused on general interest topics. :)
take care

If you wanna bring back some happy memories you should stop by to lyric lovers.

A woman does not want the truth; what is truth to women? From the beginning, nothing has been more alien, repugnant, and hostile to woman than the truth - her great art is the lie, her highest concern is mere appearance and beauty.

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.

Socrates thought that if all our misfortunes were laid in one common heap, whence every one must take an equal portion, most persons would be contented to take their own and depart.

When he to whom one speaks does not understand, and he who speaks himself does not understand, that is metaphysics.

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

Cunning and deceit will every time serve a man better than force.

Even in the lost the natural inclination to virtue remains, else they would have no remorse of conscience.

For knowledge is itself power.

Use your health, even to the point of wearing it out. That is what it is for. Spend all you have before you die; and do not outlive yourself.
