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.

more truer words were never written
Loved the simple but smart explanation!
@ Pinku I know very close friends who have adopted and are very happy, if you are considering it, do go ahead - it's easier than we imagine, and a fulfilling experience. I have seen my friend's life change.
