REUNIONS

What It Means To Be Adopted

Submitted by: LesLee Vetorino




Aloha Vicky,

This was in my e-mail box today. Thought you might like to have it if you haven't already. I am not sending it to be insensitive to your pain of having to give up a child for adoption but to those adopted children who may not have had the beautiful reuniting experience you had with your daughter, and are still struggling with "being adopted." If I am off-base on this, please let me know. I am "hear" to learn.

Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were discussing a picture - of a family. One little boy in the picture had a different color hair than the other family members.

One child suggested that he was adopted and a little girl named Jocelynn 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."
