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 a different colour 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 was adopted." "What does it mean to be adopted?" Asked another child. "It means," said Jocelynn, "that you grew in your mommy's heart instead of her tummy."
