An American couple convicted and later cleared of wrongdoing in the death of their adopted African-born daughter in Qatar returned to Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon, a family spokesman said on Twitter.
Matthew and Grace Huang left Doha on Wednesday after a ban on their travel was lifted.
"Mission accomplished. Matt and Grace are in Los Angeles. They have not stopped smiling," spokesman Eric Volz said in a tweet.
He later tweeted that the Huangs were "on their way to be reunited with their sons."
A website created to publicise the case said the Huangs had moved to Qatar so that Matthew Huang, a Stanford-trained engineer, could work on a project related to the 2022 World Cup.
The Huangs were arrested in January 2013.
A Qatar appeals court threw out the convictions against the couple on Sunday.
