Lately adoption has been a hot topic in our house because Peach wants to talk about it all.the.time.

In the past few weeks Peach’s ability to connect the dots and see the bigger picture has left me speechless.

Her empathy has moved me to tears.

All I can say is this little girl is special in so many wonderful ways and right now she’s petitioning hard for us to adopt more kids. I know she doesn’t totally understand what that means, although tonight at dinner when she asked when we can adopt someone else Nick said, “Well, it’s a long process dear.” To which she replied, “I know, it’s a lot of work.”

We were driving to see a movie on Friday…

Peach: Are there lots of other kids who need families too?

Me: Yea, sure. Here in Milwaukee and across our country, but all over the world too.

Peach: Well, I have a great idea! I think we should adopt a big kid!! Then, you and daddy could go to the grocery store and leave us home to play with our new big kid. I’ll get another pillow and more covers and she could sleep in my room!

Jude: No, in meeee room!

Peach: No, Jude! I called her first! Our big kid sister will stay in MY room.
