Growing in the Heart

A group of students were discussing a picture of a family. In the picture, one little boy had a different hair color compared to the other family members.

                “Why do you think that his hair color is different?” asked the teacher.

                “Maybe he is adopted?” suggested the boy.

                A little girl said, “I know all about adoptions because I am adopted.”

                “What does that mean to be adopted?” asked another child.

                “It means,” said the girl, “that you grew in your mother’s heart instead of her tummy.”
