A story about Adoption
for your 4th Grader.
Michael was a curious boy who loved puzzles. He lived in a bustling city, filled with towering skyscrapers and busy streets. His favorite place was his school, where he could solve puzzles with his friends.
One day, a new girl named Sophie joined Michael's class. She was quiet and kept to herself. Michael noticed her and wondered about her story.
Michael learned that Sophie was adopted. He didn't know much about adoption, but he was intrigued. To him, it was like a new puzzle to solve.
Michael decided to learn more about adoption. He read books, searched the internet, and even asked his parents. He learned that adoption meant giving a child a new family when their birth family couldn't take care of them.
But Michael was still confused. He didn't understand why a birth family couldn't take care of their child. He felt sad thinking about it.
Michael decided to talk to Sophie. He asked her about her adoption. Sophie smiled and said, 'It's like being chosen. My parents chose me to be their daughter.'
Michael thought about Sophie's words. He realized that adoption wasn't just about a child needing a new family. It was also about a family opening their hearts to a new child.
Michael felt a new understanding. He saw that adoption was a beautiful thing. It was about love, acceptance, and new beginnings.
