Last month I wrote about Grace’s tender heart.  Today after school, the kids were doing their normal after-school-everybody-talk-at-once-in-the-car bit.  Eli said he wanted a blood hound (they had been watching Mythbusters with daddy).  Ada talked about getting her haircut.  Then Grace.

Grace: Mom, when I’m a grown up and have children from Haiti, I’m going to tell them about my family.  Then they can tell their kids about our family.  And so on, and so on.

Me: What do you mean, when you have children from Haiti? (I knew what she meant, I just wanted her to talk about it more).

Grace: You know, the children who don’t have families.

Me: Oh, you mean you want to adopt children from Haiti?

Grace: Yeah, yeah, adopt them!

How amazing is this girl?  She has gone from it being an idea, to her plan.  It’s just part of her future.  She’s seven.   Amazing.
