All very interesting ideas! I would like to point out though that Henry was born in Phoenix, Oregon, not Arizona (I thought there was only one as well but apparently not…) – not that it changes much I’m sure but different part of the country still.
I definitely think that Emma spent the 2 years in Tallahassee searching for Neal and I had forgotten about her rant to Ashley so perhaps somebody did step in and got her to give him up. He wasn’t adopted til he was 3 weeks old I think so there is definitely a gap or two to fill in. Hopefully we get all of those stories together sometime soon and fill in some of those gaps.
