Home Safe and Sound
Bonnie and Alemtsehay are home safe and sound. Alemtsehay is beautiful
and extremely sweet. We had quite the welcoming committee at the
airport. She enjoyed meeting her siblings and gave them all hugs. When
we put her to bed she was asleep in about 2 minutes. She was one
tired, beautiful pumpkin.
Thank you Lord for my tears of joy as I held this gift for the first
time. Thank you for this incredible blessing on our family.

In Houston
Well after a short 17 hour flight, Bonnie and Alemtsehay are in Houston. The great news is that they are at the gate for Colorado Springs! Immigration was a breeze, and while Bonnie was dragging a tired little girl through the airport, they got to the gate with plenty of time. With enough time to spare for an ice cream for Alemtsehay. We are excited that the whole family will be at the airport and we will have a dear friend videotaping. We will post pictures soon. Thank you all again for walking this journey with us, and we look forward to you joining us for Estifanos' journey.
Blessings,
Scott

More Great News
Embassy visit was today and it went great. Alemtsehay's visa is in process!
Bonnie had dinner with both kids and had a great time...Chinese Italian was a big hit!
Estifanos handled going back to AHOPE very easily which was a huge answer to prayer.
Thank you Jesus for your provision, protection, and grace for our family!

Special Day #2
Today Bonnie got to spend time with both kids. They are both very sweet. Estifanos was a bit nervous at first but warmed up as the day when by. We are so thankful that they both seem to be doing so well.
She is taking them other to dinner at the Chinese restaurant that apparently serves Italian food (only in Addis!) then will be saying goodbye to Estifanos.
Please pray with us that this goes well and that he understands that I will be there in a few weeks to bring him home for good. Also please pray that everything is in order for the embassy visit.
Thank you all for sharing this adventure with us!

WooHoo x 2
Today is a special day in the Grover family. Bonnie met our latest beautiful daughter for the first time and is sharing big hugs with her. She is a very sweet and shy little girl and seems to be enjoying time with her new mom.
Additionally, Bonnie was able to be at court today for Estifanos' case and was there to see the case pass! We are so excited that his adoption is finally moving forward. Bonnie will get visit with him tonight and we are hoping praying that it will go well.
Please join us today in offering special praises to our Lord for His goodness and faithfulness in blessing our family!
