When we were first matched, we sent email a couple of times. Then we finally learned that S had asked if she could give us her number, but the "counselor" never told us that. Finally, we asked, and the "counselor" gave us her number and her our number. We talked for 5 hours on one day. For the rest of the month, we talked one or two times per week.
Then, we went to Kansas City and met her a few days before Jack was born.

Child #1: Is that your mother?
Child #2: Yes.
Child #1: Why is she white and you are black?
Child #2: Because I am adopted, and black people have more melanin than white people do.
Child #1: Oh, let's go on the high bars.
