| Although spread out, we�re very close to both of our families. We get together with Rob�s clan at least twice a year, either visiting them on the East Coast or having them out to CA. We enjoy going on vacation with family, and last summer we spent time at three different family reunions, meeting all sorts of aunts, uncles and cousins from all sides of the family. Everyone was so excited to meet Taylor, and can�t wait to meet our next baby. We keep in touch with Taylor�s birthmother Carrie over the Internet due to the geographic distance. We e-mail or instant message regularly and keep each other informed about what's going on in our lives. Carrie also regularly accesses our family website and checks in on Taylor and views photos. The relationship is a good one and we are so glad to have her in our lives. Our families are looking forward to sharing the adoption experience with us and are so excited about having a new baby in the family! |
