Upon arriving in Addis, our guides drove us to our guest house.  We had 15 minutes to check in and prepare to leave to pick up Colton from the transition house, forever.

Waiting on the porch for Colton to be brought out to us. This time felt so different from 3 months ago. We were just ready to see him!

Here he comes!

The "hand-off"!

Back together again!

So happy to be a family of three!

We spent the morning with Colton on the porch, just like we did every day during our court trip.  We also met with the doctor to talk over Colton’s medical history.  Every one of his nannies wanted a picture with him before we took him back with us to the guest house. He was definitely well loved during his time there and we are so thankful for that!

P.S.  I am planning to post more about our embassy trip.  Much like my “series” from our court trip.  More to come…
