All of you know that we have always told JP where he was born, etc. Well, recently we began reading Steven Curtis Chapman's book. "Shoaey and Dot." It is a children's book that he and his wife wrote about their first daughter that they brought home from China. I strongly recommend it.
JP is so sweet reading it with me. He can almost recite the entire book! The word adopted/adoption is all throughout the pages. So, I have been explaining to him (in an age-appropriate way) what the word means. Now, he will tell you that adopted means that God gives you a mommy, a daddy and a family.
Today I was sitting in the recliner and he ran up to me and jumped in my lap. He grinned at me really big and said, "Mommy! I am 'adockted' from Guatemala!" He was so excited! So was I! I love him so much and I am so thankful that God allowed him to be "adockted" in to our family!!
