Done!

Today we went to the US Embassy to finish our paperwork and get Diya's visa. Thanks to the coordinator, this was a walk in the park! It didn't take hardly any time at the embassy, everything went smooth. You know, on the way to the US embassy we passed the British, Qatar, Canada, Spain, and many more embassies...no one was there. All the action is at the US embassy! yes...there are lots of people outside waiting on the curb, inside waiting their turn. I guess applying for all kinds of things like visas, asylum's, etc. Anyway, while we were waiting for our coordinator to take his phone to them to hold while he went in there with us, I couldn't help but think how blessed we are to be Americans and to be able to offer this privilege to Diya through us. Once we were finish, in less than two hours and walked out side I felt kind of bad that we just walked right in spite of the long line for everyone else. They made it a point to take care of us immediately because it was an adoption...what privilege. So now we are done with the adoption process in India. We left to Agra after the embassy to enjoy a few days of sightseeing. Diya is enjoying every minute of it an so are we! We got to the hotel in Agra and Diya was fascinated to see herself in the mirror. She stood their for quite a while admiring her beauty...and so did we.

Hoy fuimos a la embajada Americana para terminar el papeleo y obtener la visa de Diya. Gracias al coordinador, esto fue muy sencillo. No nos tomo casi nada en la embajada y todo salio bien. En camino a la embajada Americana pasamos por la embajada Inglesa, la de Qatar, la Canadiense, la de Espana y otras mas...no habia nadie ahi. Toda la accion esta en la embajada Americana! si, hay mucha gente afuera en la banqueta esperando su turno y adentro tambien. Me supongo que estan solicitando visas, asilos politicos, etc. Y bueno mientras nuestro coordinador llevaba su telefono para que lo cuidaran mientras el entraba con nosotros a la embajada, no pude evitar pensar en lo bendecidos que somos de ser americanos y de poderle ofrecer este privilegio a Diya a traves de nosotros. Una vez que terminamos y salimos, me senti un poco mal de saber que entramos rapidamente a pesar de las largas filas que habia para los demas. A proposito nos atendieron rapido por ser una adopcion, que privilegio. Ahora ya hemos terminado el proceso de adopcion en India. Despues nos fuimos a Agra a disfrutar unos cuantos dias aqui, Diya esta disfrutando de todo y nosotros tambien! Llegamos al hotel en Agra y Diya estaba fascinada de poderse ver en el espejo y nosortros de verla a ella! Se quedo ahi un buen rato admirando su belleza y nosotros admirandola a ella.
