Samuel and I are standing in the hallway outside his classroom waiting to speak with his teacher. We are reading personal narratives written by his peers.
One is called "How I Came to America". It's the story of a classmate who was adopted from China. She talks about her parents adopting her sister and then going again the following year to adopt her. She talks about how their parents chose their names. She talks about celebrating their adoption days.
And now I fear I am too choked up to have a coherent conversation with Samuel's teacher.
