There are Brat 1 and 2 and then there is Brat 3. So meet Brat 4 now.
Chhavi is 2 and the Newest of the Brat pack.
We brought her home an hour ago. She has already traveled with me and Sesha from Chandigarh to New Delhi and she is an angel. I mean she met me really for the first time (we saw each-other briefly two weeks ago for maybe 15 minutes) and yet after the journey I have the energy to blog. We are extremely lucky to be able to adopt her in just about 5 months since we started the process.
I think it will take us a week to turn her into a brat. But I think I can pull her out for travel sooner rather than later given her performance today.
she is so cute.

Congrats Mridula and Sesha. My best wishes for the family. Now I know why I sensed an urgency in your travels of late :). Hope Chavi turns out to be a traveler and tale-teller like you.
Rajeev, thank you. Actually we were told that the wait period is 1.5 years or so after approval, so we didn't know it will this soon. When we went to Chandigarh we went thinking that we have to wait for 1.5 years and there she was and now with us in 2 weeks. So traveling more was just like that.
Congratulations Mridula. Chavi is really cute… 🙂
Mridula,So you have been lucky all around :). Good to see lady luck smiling on good people. May God bless all of you.
Thank you Akhila.Thank you Rajeev.
hugs and kisses to chhavi :)and all good wishes to you for bringing them up.
Chhavi is so cute! Touchwood 🙂
Rocksea and Sarah, thank you so much.Doli, thank you.
Mridula,That is awesome news. I am so happy for you and Sesha. Chhavi is very cute and I am sure she is in capable hands. It is pretty cool that you got her just after 5 months. That is really fast. How old is she?
Vamsee, I hope so. She is less than 2.
My heart is overjoyed for you! Congratulations!!! ((((((hugs))))) truly awesome 😀
Thank you Cindymama.
Yeah, the next time I come to Delhi, I will come over to play with her. 🙂
That would be wonderful Apurva.
Hearty congratulations Mridula !I know many parents who have adopted kids and now I know one more. Hats off to you.Ye Chhavi to bilkul aapki chhavi hai. :)Keep us updating on her.
Thank you Nisha. Will try to update on her soon.
Chhavi is chosen by God to be chosen by you. A blessing to enjoy and to love. She is sweet :)Congratulations!
Thank you Beuls_Rules, thank you so much for your thoughts and wishes.
This is fantastic Mridula! I've had the honor to be a 'godmother' to an adopted kid and have seen her grow beautifully into a teen now, so know how much joy there is to share.Chhavi looks very sweet. Congratulations and all the very best to you and Sesha.
Thank you so much Indica.
Mridula & Co,Congratulations on a big decision and Thanks a lot for setting up an excellent example. Wishing Almighty to bestow Health, Love and Wealth to all of you!!!Warm Wishes,Guru
Thank you Guru for your wishes, we all need them, many thanks.
How could I miss that;-)Congratulations to this beautiful baby! I am sure you make her a seasoned traveler… I wish the three of you that you can make many, many beautiful memories (of course, together with the rest of those delightful brats;-)!
Fida, we also hope so that we will be able to take her out on day trips at least quite soon. She is well on her way to become a brat, she is already quite different than the shy kid we met first!
