Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were
discussing a picture of a family. One little boy in the picture
had a different hair color than the other members . One of her
students suggested that he was adopted.
A little girl said, 'I know all about
Adoption, I was adopted.'
'What does it mean to be adopted?', asked
another child.
'It means', said the girl, 'that you grew
in your mommy's heart instead of her tummy!'
(dedicated to all adoptive and foster parents, especially my parents, Elton and Judy Teel, who adopted my brother and me and to my daughter and son in law, Amy and Jeff, who have opened their hearts to foster wonderful children)
