What it means to Be Adopted

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 memners.

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 proudly Jocelynn, "that you grew in your mother's heart instead of her tummy."
