Before we start let me (hopefully) stop any negative comments by saying the boys have a pretty good grasp of adoption, theirs in particular. I will say they bring laughter and light to a lot of conversations that we, as adults, tend to over think and complicate.
Take the "adoption" of our dog Jack. They began comparing their adoption story to Jack's adoption, more important to them was to find how many types of things they could find in common. Ok, as a mom I was slightly appalled. I tried to redirect the conversation as my "adult" mind thought to be acceptable.
That was right up until Lucas said, "Mom. There's nothing wrong with saying us and Jack are adopted...we are. Except this time we got to be in the family when he was adopted cause we weren't when you and dad adopted the last time."
Eli's perspective? "Mom. It's only fair we got to be part of adopting Jack...except this was a lot easier. I didn't get so tired from flying home from the Philippines, we just had to drive to town."
I told you it was adoption...the short version.
