Michael and I have been thinking about adoption lately. I came across this little story in a book I was reading and wanted to share it:
"Teacher Debbie Moon's first-graders were discussing a picture of a family. One little boy in the picture had different color hair than the other family members.
One child suggested that he was adopted, and a little girl named Jocelynn Jay said, "I know all about adoptions because I'm adopted."
"What does it mean to be adopted?" asked another child.
"It means," said Jocelynn, "that you grew in your mother's heart instead of her tummy." --George Dolan"
omg, i love that story!
ReplyDeleteI like that, too. Jammie had a really beautiful quote about adoption on her facebook page, but I can't find it. I'll let you know if I come across it, though. It's pretty sweet.
ReplyDeleteI'm adopted. You can tell. I don't look like anyone in my family...
