Adoption Gyaan

A couple we know is considering adopting a child - they have a biological child, and wish to complete the family with an adopted girl child.

Stwabbit broke this news to me.

“What does adoption mean?” I ask her.

“Oh, when people have children and are unable to take care of them, they give the children away to people who can. That’s adoption”, she replies, in a matter-of-fact manner. “Just like in the movie Juno.”

Profound wisdom.
