All about Alyia Bontu

While we were in Ethiopia for court, we had the privilege of visiting our daughter.  In fact, she stayed with us for 4 nights.  We spent a total of about 5 days with her.  It's so interesting to get to know a child--your own child--when they come with an already developed personality.  It's just so much fun!
