Duane loves photography and poetry. I thought I would share a few photos with you that he took the other day in our neighborhood. Though we don't live on the water, several of our neighbors do In the winter if you stand on the roof and stretch your neck, you can glimpse the water.
Welcome to the Carter blog. There once were 5 of us, then we grew to 11, then 14 for a short period and now are about to be 12. Some may say we are actually ONE EGG SHORT OF A DOZEN for choosing to have a large family. We hurt and cry and sometimes yell but then again we laugh, forgive, and have fun much more! We call ourselves FAMILY. Join us on the adventures we seem to fall into on our adoption journeys and family life. You never know what you will find!

SHATTERED
SHATTERED

I am the face of an orphan
As you can see, my world has been shattered
My dreams are broken; in fact I don’t know what dreams are
My fears keep me closed inside all the time so I cannot see the stars
I know you see pictures of me and feel pity and sadness
Yet I need more
I need you to come and begin mending the pieces together again
I need you to free me so I can run with my friends
I need Love to show up in my life and begin putting it all back together for me
I need to be free. I need to be free.
I need someone who cares enough for me
That they will release me into my destiny
And in the process find their own.
When are you coming? Every day I grow
When are you coming so Love I will know?
Look here through the glass, look into my eyes
See the greater the sacrifice, then the greater the prize
Come and release me into my destiny
When you do you find your own by setting Love free
