Good-bye Ceremony


Here we are after the "Goodbye" ceremony. Berie is in a traditional Ethiopia dress. This was obviously a very emotional day, both for us and the nannies. The kids sang to us and each adopted child was individually honored. Here, after a wonderful tribute and some very touching exchanges, a couple of the nannies wave good-bye.

Thank you so much for sharing with me part of the journey where you brought you daughter Berie home! I passed the blog onto Bob, as he has been asking many questions and wondering how you all are. So anxious to seeing the "whole" Weddall family soon!
XO,
Melissa
