Adoption conversations with a four year-old…

Patience : “Am I a mama?”

Collette : “No, maybe one day. I’m a mama. I’ve been a mama for thirteen years. Because thirteen years ago, Puck was in my tummy.”

Patience : “Was I in your tummy?”

Collette : “No; Yali wasn’t either. But I’m still your mama.”

Patience : *pouting* “But I WANT to be in your tummy!”
