In Mekelle With Our Kids
After three planes, a couple buses, and three cars, we have finally arrived in Mekelle, Ethiopia. In total, we have been traveling for 36+ hours. In Washington D.C., we met up with another couple who are adopting a toddler girl and were here for a court date. This is child number "5" from Ethiopia. In total, they will have nine (YES, NINE) children when this adoption is complete-what BIG hearts!! They were very encouraging and informative in helping us along our journey to adopt "A", "G", and "T".
And the BEST news, we met "A", "G", and "T" tonight at their care center in Mekelle. We were greeted with "BIG" hugs from "A" and "G". "T" was more reserved but with time over the next couple days, he will come around. The care center staff gave us welcoming greeting fit for royalty. Signs were posted to welcome us, traditional Ethiopian coffee was made and served along with popcorn and wheat bread. It was very touching. Jim joined the girls, other children, and nannies in their traditional dance. As you can imagine, it was quite fun!!
