"What It Means To Be Adopted"

     

        Teacher Debbie Moon's firstgraders 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 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."
