Customs

I'm sure you've all heard that the first thing Britt said when Catie was born was, "I want a paternity test!"  He was kidding of course, but she did come out very dark, and with a lot of dark hair.

Since then we've had the occasional comment from the outspoken strangers, such as the woman in Toys R Us who looked at Ginger and Catie and asked me, "Do they have different Dads?" We're use to it, and think it's kind of funny, but the all time best has to be the custom agent at LAX when we were returning from Mexico.  We handed him all four passports, he looked at them, leaned over the counter to look at Ginger and Catie.  He pointed at Catie and said, "Is she adopted?"  Britt and I just looked at each other and had to laugh!  We told him "No, she's ours." And he said, "Well I see a lot of people coming through after they've adopted a child from another country."  

Clearly she got even darker while we were in Mexico!
