What it means to be adopted?
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 adpoted 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 proudly Jocelynn, “that you grew in your mother’s heart
instead of her tummy.”
