When they welcomed their new boy into their family, they renamed him Steve Carter Jr. They didn’t want to throw away his past, so they made Tenzin one of his middle names to honor his full identity.
They moved to a very nice neighborhood in New Jersey and Steve Jr. was able to live a very privileged life. In fact, he was able to do a lot of stuff that other kids could only dream of.
A Lot Of “Maybes”
It was believed that Steven’s birth father was ethnically Hawaiian, but that was literally all of the information that they ended up getting. The fact that he was from the island, but looked nothing like a native of Hawaii, was a running joke in their family.
Adoptive parents sometimes struggle to explain their child’s status as being adopted, but not Pat and Steve. They celebrated their son’s uniqueness by holding a celebration every year on the day that they adopted him.
“Came To Be Our Boy Day”
They dubbed the holiday “Came To Be Our Boy Day” which allowed them to not shy away from talking about his adoption. They had no idea the true story behind how Steven became an orphan.
The entire birth certificate not being issued until a year after his birth was very odd. By the time Steven got older, he wanted to know the details, which is very normal for an adopted child.
