They asked if they could adopt me. I was quite touched. Just before leaving for family court that morning, I was getting my kids ready for school. My son (age 11 at the time) looked at me quite seriously and said, “Mom, I think it’s nice that Nana and Papa want to adopt you, but … we sure are going to miss you around here.” 三十九岁那年，我的养母和她的新丈夫正计划着他们退休后的生活。并决定，让我正式成为他们新家庭的一员。他们问我，是否愿意和他们正式确立收养关系。这让我十分感动。那天早上去家庭法院前，我正帮孩子们做上学出门的准备。我那11岁的儿子挺严肃地看着我说：“妈妈，我觉得爷爷奶奶想收养你真的挺好。但，我们肯定会想你的。” Foster 寄养 Adopt 收养 Getting my kids ready for school 帮孩子们做上学出门的准备 Get someone ready 帮某人做好准备 Nana 奶奶 Papa 爷爷 可爱的儿子误以为妈妈被收养就意味着要离开他，然而这个拥有美好心灵的小孩，还是选择了祝福自己的妈妈。
