We dropped Sarah off at her sleep-over and then the rest of us went to Chinese dinner at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant (with fabulous food!)

Bryce was laughing when we got there because he managed to hide and jump out at his dad and scare Alan (this is a feat of unspeakable skill!!) He was also excited to serve soup to us all from a large bowl.

However, after a few minutes of eating, I looked across at Bryce to see him looking near tears. I asked him what was wrong. He said, "Do you think it was very hard for my parents to give me up?" He also asked, "Do you know anything about them?" Alan and I were both crying and hugging him....reassuring him that we loved him and that it must have been VERY hard to give up a child.

You can imagine our fears...thank you all for your relationship with Bryce; it is clear he will need you all as he grows.
