Here is one cute and short way international adoption has changed our family(of course there are many!). Carter is so multicultural. Last week our church had us come up front to introduce the new little family member. On the way home Mike asked Carter if he sometimes feels left out because he wasn't adopted. Carter replied "No, sometimes I forget that I'm not Korean!"
Yesterday Mike and Carter went to Dallas for a game. They stopped at one of our favorite places, Ko-Mart(like a big Korean Walmart). They ate some yummy Korean food and sampled things like fried octupus. Mike was telling me about a couple standing at the counter that apparently was having an adventure in Ko-Mart and ordering Korean food for the first time. He said they looked maybe Middle-Eastern. Carter pipes up and says "I think they were Nepalese" No joke, he really said that! It was sooooo funny. Do you know many 13 yr old boys who: 1. know that Nepal is a country 2. know what the general features of Nepalese people are 3. Know that the correct term for people from Nepal is Nepalese?
Yep, I'd say our family is much more aware of the world!!
