Thoughts on Adoption from a few little kids.

There's obviously been a lot of talk about adoption going on in our house. In the last few weeks every time that Caedmon is asked his opinion on the subject he would say that he did NOT want another brother or sister. But yesterday when I was talking with the kids about it, Caedmon's response was this, "yeah, actually I've been kind of sad lately cause I don't have a brother. I think I'd like a brother so he can help me pick on the girls and then I don't have to do it all on my own. There's a few things we need to do so that we can adopt. First we need to have a family vote. We can get a piece of paper and each of us can write down how many more kids we want." (cause, yes, we are considering and mulling over adopting two children! More on this and our agency choice later!) Caedmon continues, " Then you need to talk with a bunch of other people who have adopted kids and see what they think about it for us." (what a wise son I have!) "Then mom, we need to make a lot more money." (Understatement of the year buddy!) I love that his heart is changing! This might have to do with the fact that he will end up with bunk beds in his room if we do adopt, but whatever. I'll take what I can get!

Payton's input into this conversation was, " I want a brown brother AND a brown sister!"
