I would have posted this sooner but I have lost the flow in the past couple of days.
Things that can hurt. Being told that your adoption case has been adjourned is at the top of my list of life pains. Sure there was no intention on the part of the judge to hurt me, she just had other, more important things to do,so she let our case go for another week. And now our lawyer is not confident that it will be dealt with this Saturday either. So now we have a meeting this morning to try and sort out where we stand and why cases similar to ours have been dealt with and ours has not.
I am not, I don't think, a vindictive person. I am grateful to the gods for putting me in the position I now find myself. But ,and it's a big one, I have a three year girl who has been in an orphanage for over a year now and the lack of urgency on the part of the judicial system is, I believe, criminal. You only have to look at the Hague convention under the rights of children, to which India is a signatory, to press that case.
So, I remain hopeful, I meditate on not being angry. I cast prayer to the heavens that good souls will shield me from malice.
