Simply Connected
In 1980, Steve Carter Sr., a United States Army officer was posted on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. He was staying on the island with his wife named Pat who worked as a teacher. During this time the couple made up their mind to adopt a kid. When they went to a nearby foster care, the Carters instantly felt a strong connection with a three-and-a-half-year-old boy. As Pat said in an interview and still admits, “it was love at first sight.” According to the files, the fair-haired infant’s name was Tenzin Amea. The state’s record also mentioned that he was born on January 16, 1977. Also, there was a brief history of his birth parents, his father was a native Hawaiian and he was taken from his mother, Jane Amea when she was detained five months after his birth. Nothing more could be known about his family.
