This little boy is the missing piece to our family, a piece that would make us a family of 5 and be complete. Chris, the boys and myself were shopping in Walmart one day and who do you think we passed? It was Carter. It was one of the most emtional days of our lives, to be standing so close to your son and not be able to do anything about it. And try to comfort your little 6 year old son who had tears streaming down his face because he wanted nothing more then to give his big brother a hug and mostly....introduce himself. This has been an emtional rollercoaster for all of us, Chris especially. We have been trying to get Carter in our lives for quit sometime, but because Carter was adopted by his Grandparents we aren't so sure it is possible to get any sort of custody and the way the legal system works it makes it that much more difficult. I know there is a lot of our family out there that is curious to see what Carter looks like, so I wanted to post this picture that Grandma Lisa found on a certain website....There isn't a day in our house that we don't think about him and wish that he was here with us. Someday he will be with us, I am sure of it. It may take a little time, but I know in my heart we will be a family of 5.

I am so happy for you Hulke family! That is so exciting!
Oh, wow, I'm sure that was a huge moment! I'll be praying for you guys as you work towards reconnecting with him.
On another note, thanks for your congrats on my job. The first days of hospital orientation have gone well, and I start on the floor tomorrow.
PLEASE tell Jane I said CONGRATS!!!!! on her engagement! How completely thrilling and such fun news! I thought it might not be too long, and I was hoping I'd hear the news. Thanks for sharing!
This is seriously the most ridiculous blog I have ever come across. Stealing pictures of other people's children off the internet seems like pedifile/illegal behavior. Doesn't Grandma Lisa have better things to do? Sad!
Your son being tramatized in WM is no one's fault but your own. What kind of parents put their children through something like that? So crazy and untruthful. If the stolen picture of the child looked as though he was beated, abused and not well cared for I could understand your concern, but this is a healthy happy very fortunate child. Tell me again what your concern is? People like you are the reason so many children are messed up in this world. Time to get over your selfishness and let well enough alone. GOD's work is done here. The legal system is very good, but I don't think you know the whole truth of the situation and look foolish posting these comments. I don't know the situaiton either, but I suspect there is more to it that you don't know and this is just a way for you to get sympathy. Give me a break!
I like how that Anonymous person said "stealing pictures of other people's children". That gave me a laugh! Carter is Chris's son. And if that picture was put on the internet, like it was, it is free for anyone to steal. Heather you are an amazing mom and how dare anyone judge you and say that you're the reason that kids are messed up in the world. Because you want your husband to be with his son? Because you want your stepson to know who his father is? That is not being selfish! Having Riley be heartbroken in Walmart is not your fault either. The fact that he cannot meet his brother, is not your fault. Ignore her/him.. your an amazing mother and Keegan and Riley are the most amazing little boys. This person obviously knows nothing about your life! Hang in there, you are in no way a foolish mother!
I agree with anonymous. A missing puzzle piece? If you want to be a family of 5 then why don't you have another child. If this child you say is Chris's then why isn't he receiving visitation. The writer perhaps doesn't know anything about your life, but apparently you are in the dark about the life of your husband's past. I have known him for years and "manipulation" and getting people to feel sorry for him is his MO. He hasn't changed much from high school. He likes to get his way and when he doesn't he makes a game out of making other people suffer. If it is his son then you should be paying regular child support and receiving regular visitation - hmmm, maybe there is more to the story than your blog tells. Everything that happens in his life is someone else's fault - never his - have you noticed that pattern?
Anonymous didn't say anything about whether or not Heather is an amazing Mom - your friend Kelsey is the one who brought that up. I think anonymous is correct in saying there has to be more to the story than what you are telling. It just doesn't make any sense. Maybe Chris isn't the father but feels foolish because he led people in his family to believe he was, but then failed to take any sort of responsibility (like mature, honest, responsible adults do) and so he has to put the blame on someone else to make himself look good (oh feel sorry for me, I am the victim here), in the meantime making his wife and family look foolish.
So what Kelsey is saying is that someone could copy pictures of Riley and Keegan and use whereever they want - because if they are on the internet, then it is okay for anyone to use them, or steal them.

Anonymous -- If you have such a problem with who I am I wish you would please come to me in person. Trashing someone via the internet is a rather childish thing to do, don't you think? I have never once asked for sympathy or care if anyone feels sorry for me. I'm not sure that "god's work" would be taking a child from his father or for his mother to give him up. That is the truly sad part of the whole deal. One parent wants nothing more than to be with their son and the other one would rather give them up. I don't see how that makes me the bad guy. I'll make you a deal -- we'll take a blood test. If I'm the father I get full custody, if I'm not then we'll gladly take down the picture and wish you well.
Chris (my real name)
Huh? A blood test - what are you talking about? No one is trashing anyone. It was a simple public response to a public blog about a missing piece. Leave the picture up. It looks foolish. I know nothing about who wants what and who doesn't. I just know you and I am very familiar with custody matters because I have been through one myself. You screw up - you don't get custody - simple. It makes no difference to me about the picture, I don't even know the family of the child. I just know you.

Come on Anonymous people, grow a set and leave your REAL name, first and last!!! If you want to insult people on their personal blog then at least of the common decency of saying who you really are. Attacking someone’s personal character anonymously is outrageous.
Is Heather perfect?
No probably not.
Is Chris perfect? Probably not either.
Are ANY of us perfect? NO
Do Chris and Heather try to be the best parents they can be?
Yes.
Any furthermore, referring back to when someone was in high school and using that as the standard for how they might be acting today is absurd. Are YOU different than you were in high school, I sure hope so? I think most of us are!
And hey “s” you say on July 18 that “No one is trashing anyone.” Really?!? On April 2 "anonymous” said “People like you are the reason so many children are messed up in this world.” That to me seems like “trashing” to me, but that’s just my opinion.
To summarize for those people reading this with low IQs
1. If you want to comment on this blog, leave your REAL first and last name.
2. Are Chris and Heather perfect? No probably not, but neither are any of us. Do they love their kids and make great parents? YES
3. For those of us who knew Chris as a young child, doesn’t Carter look a lot like like his DAD?
We love you Chris and Heather and support you in everything!!
