Today is Claire's adoption day. On the way to school I asked her if she was going to tell her teacher that it was her adoption day today. She said, "mom, I don't know if she knows that I am adopted, but I will tell her." This put a big smile on my face. Jared gave me a funny look and when Claire was out of the car he said to me, "of course her teacher knows, Claire looks different than us, she is Chinese!" I tried to explain to him how great this moment was...that even though Claire knows she is Chinese and looks different than us...at that moment she wasn't thinking about it...and that tells me she doesn't think about it much...which means we are doing a good job...which makes me so happy.Tuesday, September 20, 2011
