So over the weekend Alana ( @greyandco ) with her amazing kids come by. It wasn’t really planned but it was so much fan and really exciting. My husband had to go to work to to fix something so me and Alana where left with six kids and one puppy. We had so much fun.

Florence literally fell in love with Nahla and they just spend all the time together. Making their own little games  and dancing away. It was so amazing to watch. She keeps asking when Nahla will came again so we probably need to meet up soon. 

It was also so fun to meet twins! They are so cute. 

It was also really amazing to meet Alana. We first talked at MadreMag chat and then we started following each other here. And at some point we started talking here too. It was so weird but so fun to actually meet someone from here. She is honestly the sweetest and nicest person. 

We were so happy to meet the Grey family and we hope to see each other soon again! 

First off, congrats! That’s so exciting!

I’ll start with some great advice that someone gave me before we adopted Indigo: try to keep their schedule as consistent as you can. Especially naps! It took Ari almost two weeks to get used to a new timezone, and her sleep schedule took a long time to settle.

If they’re old enough, encourage them to talk about their feelings surrounding adoption. It’s okay for them to miss their old life and their old home! Ari has moments when she wants to see someone from India. If we can’t reasonably get someone on the phone, we look at pictures and talk.
