From the mouths of babes

A woman in our local FCC sent out the following story that she had been emailed from a friend:

"Tonight at dinner our 4 1/2 year old asked our 6 1/2 year old what adopted meant. Here is how she explained it: Well, it's like a puzzle. Over here (left hand out to side) you have, China with, you know a mom and all. Over here (right hand out to side) you have mom and dad. Those have to come together (bringing wrists together with palms facing inward). Then you add me (bending fingers of left hand forming a "C"). Then you add you (bending fingers of right hand forming a "C"). You have to put all that together and you get a heart - that's our family - and that's how adoption works."

How sweet is that?

Here's a photo of one part of our heart in her swim attire.
