Meeting with Amay and Court Hearing

This is Sunny... Sumi's husband. I'm making a post in her place since she doesn't have frequent access to the internet in India right now.

Sumi visited the orphanage for on May 2nd. She took Satya with her. Amay was very excited to see her. He ran up to her right away and took to her very quickly. He was also happy to see Satya and asked about Sitara. Satya was a little shy at first but finally caved after Amay kept trying to hold his hand. Sumi spent a couple hours with Amay. She brought some Hot Wheels for him which he was happy to see. Sumi said Amay is a very sweet boy. The people at the orphanage were very surprised to see how similar Satya and Amay's personalities are. When it was time for Sumi to leave she could sense a change in Amay. He held her tightly and didn't want her to leave. She tried to communicate to him that she'd be back soon but it was tough due to the language barrier. Overall, the visit went very well and Sumi is very encouraged by the fact that Amay took so quickly to her and also Satya.

Sumi's court date was on May 3rd. She met the social workers and Amay at the court. She brought a few cookies for Amay and he eagerly grabbed about five of them at once. Her time in court was very quick and uneventful. She was asked only a couple questions. "Why do you want more kids?" and "Do Satya and Sitara know about Amay?" The judge also asked Amay if he understood that Sumi would be his mom and he answered yes. When leaving court Amay again was sad to not be staying with Sumi.

Sumi is planning on picking Amay up from the orphanage on Monday.

Sumi is also working hard managing Satya and Sitara. Their sleep schedules are still thrown off by the time change. She was trying to prevent them from falling asleep too early today and keep them up till at least 8pm. For the first time ever both kids were begging to go to sleep. Ha! Never thought I'd see the day. It also sounds like Satya and Sitara are both getting plenty of ice cream and watching lots of cartoons.

I can't wait to see all of them...

  2. Sumi said that she saw Ranjiit during her visit and talked to him. She also took a picture of him so we'll try to get that to you soon.
