Sixteen years ago today, was "gotcha day" for our daughter Indra!!
She was a tiny 16 month old baby, looking tired and insecure.
She arrived at our Belgian National Airport very early in the morning (5 am).
Here she is, still holded by the people who accompanied the group from India to Belgium.

Home with us!! At first, she didn't allow anybody to cuddle her or look into her eyes. But this was her favorite position!!

Oh yes, that September 18th 1990 was a real milestone is our family!! Indra has always been well-disposed, we called her our "sunshine-girl" :)
Thank you for accepting us as your forever parents, sweetheart!!
