Once like every other week. And one of the main reasons why I decided to do that also was because. I had a lot of adoptees and birth parents reaching out to me and saying, don't ever stop. One day she is going to see all of those things that you tried to give her and show her and all of the things. And so I continued to do that. Then I found out she blocked me.
And I found that out through our adoption counselor, Dawn. And I was still sending gifts every once in a while, you know, or whatever for a birthday. I sent her crumble cookies because teens love crumble cookies. I don't know what it is.
Do you?
You're totally fine. Fuck crumble. Vacation season is nearly upon us, and I literally cannot wait. This year, I'm treating myself to luxe upgrades that I deserve with Quince's high-quality travel essentials at fair prices. Like lightweight European linen styles from $30, washable silk tops, and comfy lounge sets. I love those. With premium luggage options and stylish tote bags to carry it all.
The best part, all Quince items are priced to 50% to 80% less than similar brands. By partnering directly with Top Factories, Quince cuts out the cost of the middleman and passes the savings on to us. I love that. I recently got the Italian pebbled leather sling bag from Quince. It's super durable and stylish and functional.
I really love that you can wear it in multiple ways, like as a crossbody or on your waist. It also can hold a lot of things without looking bulky, which I love, especially being a mom. I can fit diapers, snacks, all the goods. And this bag is going to be perfect for summer vacation. For your next trip, treat yourself to the luxe upgrades you deserve from Quince.

And so I sent Carly, I sent her some flowers and it had like a note on it.
And so I asked Dawn, can you reach out to Teresa? I just want to make sure that they got there. And then she came back to Teresa and said, you know, you can tell Kate and Titus, but they're no longer allowed to send gifts to our house. It is disrespectful. And...
I mean, that's... No, they keep her from it.
Sorry. So, I mean, so it was just the whole gift thing. And the thing that, yeah, like how Ty said about, I don't understand why you would stop gifts, especially after 15 years. One of my things also, too, is like I sat there as a child, a literal child.
And that was my main thing that I said to her and Brandon was like, I don't, you know, above everything else, I just want to be able to send her birthday gifts and send her Christmas gifts and Easter. I remember telling him I will send everything for any holiday just because I want her to know that she is loved by us and that we haven't forgotten about her.
Yeah, so I think there's a lot of underneath going on, and I know a lot of people say that we are exploiting Carly or posting stuff when we are asked not to, and part of this podcast is to also get my part out of that's not all factual. There's a lot of things...
I feel like, you know, and we want you to do that. Yeah, I want you to advocate for her.
And so you agreed on it being filmed. you agreed to show up on reunions.
Yeah, it's it mostly sits in my jewelry box because I have lost it a few times being a kid, you know, so that so that stays. But yeah, things like that, you know, when it's when it's beneficial for them to exploit Carly. And to post – What do you mean by that?
beginning uh yeah that you know i posted a picture a video or something i can't remember what it was and they and then we had a conversation it was filmed you were pregnant with nova we hashed it all out and we agreed from that moment forward like we won't post any more pictures any unapproved yeah any unapproved photos right and then yeah that's when you fast forward a few years because noble was born and that was the other visit where they got to meet for the first time
And Teresa said, I sent pictures. Like, can I post this one and this one? And she's like, as long as you don't see her face, I'm fine with it. Just like how they've done for MTV when they cover some of our visits.
Or sometimes they've used clips of her voice, but they kind of auto-tune it so you can't really hear.
Yeah, like tell what her voice sounds like and stuff. So what I mean as far as like... They have kind of they've kind of exploited their situation, too, is is is those things like people want to put all the blame on us like you're on a reality TV show and they didn't sign up for this. It's like, well, they did.
And if you don't compensate us, then you're not allowed to use these pictures on TV.
