Reunion of Adanech's Family

 Today I was a voyeur to a family reunion. Abraham picked us up at 10 to begin the search for Adanech's family. Truthfully I was skeptical...Peggy had a full report from a PI that they commissioned 10 years ago, I must say I was skeptical....a needle in a haystack. 

But no, thankfully I was wrong, Ninety minutes in, working with the detective's papers, the family was found and Adanech was united with her Aunt Senayt. 

How can this be? Senayt kept saying Thank you Jesus, they had tried to find her, the family had been thinking of her, but they had no news. 

We were very curious why the detective hadn't provided the family with Peggy's information, or provided Peggy with theirs, but it turns out that the government (or AAI?) discouraged contact between birth families and adoptees. 

Later that day all the family members that could be gathered on short notice (11) came to our hotel for a late lunch. I took names and pictures...hopefully I can put them together.

Later, we drove back to Shashomene where her little brother lived. We went to the restaurant that his aunt owned. All the neighbors dropped by to see the miracle. 

Even later we went to see the house Adanech was born in and the grandmother's house.
