Ethiopia Day 2
It was nice to sleep and shower before the big meeting with Selah...When we arrived at the House of Hope, I made sure Todd and I had cameras ready. I had heard that sometimes the kids immediately run to the van, and I didn't want to miss the first meeting! None of the kids were out and we were ushered into the meeting/dining room to sit and wait for our children. Just a few minutes later, Tseguy walked her into the room and she came right to us with big hugs! It was a relief to not have the tears or hysterics that I imagined could have happened...instead, we were choked by neck-hugs and blown away by her smile!
