While we were in Michigan we wanted Carter's birth families to see him. When we first adopted Carter, all parties involved decided we would stay in touch.
We met Carter's birth father, John for the first time. Also John's dad, Doyle. I was able to meet John's mother, Kathy, right after Carter was born.
Kathy gave Carter some great books and a Little People farm house. Honestly, he looks at those books every single day and plays with his farm too. John showed us some photos of him as a baby and growing up. When Carter asks who he looks like, I will be able to tell him he looks like a lot like John. However, he looks a lot like Jessica too. Certainly a mix of two lovely human beings.
Brian and I thought our visit's went great. There were some nerves to be dealt with, but geez, who wouldn't be nervous? I was terrified!
I feel as though I have extended my family into the great state of Michigan. It may be a bit more complicated, but seriously, who's family isn't complicated these days?
