Emebet Reunion

When she walked in the door I was surprised at how hard the emotions hit me. I looked at her, slightly overwhelmed by all of the families waiting to greet her. I looked at Laura - tears welling in her eyes.

There in the flesh was Emebet - one of the only connections to our son. One of the few who held him for us when we couldn't. One who mourned with us when he went home.

She also played a pivotal role in bringing Meron home. Caring for her, holding her and helping us navigate the sometimes muddy legal waters of an international adoption!

Suffices to say Emebet was a gigantic influence on our family growth and we love her! She is the one and only reason we stayed with the agency we used and it was a huge blessing and privilege to go hang out and enjoy some Ethiopian food with her while she was in Atlanta.

Meron got to hang out with some of her buddies and old crib-mates and I'm pretty sure she had a blast!

Emebet - we love you and are forever grateful for the special care and handling you gave us as our family grew. Can't wait to see you again!
