A Very Happy Reunion!

It's pretty cool when children who were friends while living in an orphanage in Ethiopia are reunited after being adopted in the United States! Brothers Fraol and Behayelu came home to their forever family in Puyallup, Washington in September of last year knowing that their best friends would be coming soon. But 'soon' can seem like a very long time when it takes four months!

These kids were living as brothers and sister for many months!

So you can imagine the excitement these two felt when it was finally time to greet their friends at the airport...

We're SO glad you're here!
