Huge sigh of relief....they passed through the embassy appointment today and are heading home tomorrow (Wednesday-really today already-it is 8am Wednesday morning in Ethiopia right now!!). Dave says-he will breathe a sigh of relief once they are on the planes back to USA! We were able to get the same flights as he had a few days ago...with a hefty change fee of course!!! They will get into Florida Thursday late afternoon. The boys and I will meet them at the airport-I keep imagining what the homecoming will be like after 2.5 years of waiting-almost surreal!
One of the things that Dave is most upset about is he will miss an important day for Alex tomorrow-Alex is receiving a Student of the Month award at school tomorrow morning. This is a HUGE accomplishment for him-as he has done a 180 change in the past 4 months-it has been amazing. He has been working so hard towards this goal and finally earned it this month. Makes me sad that Dave will miss it....but we will celebrate when they return.
Thank you to all for your thoughts and prayers-we felt them!
More later...
The Slover Family
We have created this page to share with our family and friends about our adoption journey to our children from Ethiopia. We have had many ups, downs, twists and turns in our journey, but God has certainly blessed our broken road! We now have four wonderful children from Ethiopia- 3 sons and 1 daughter!!
