When I was 39, my longtime foster mom and her new husband were planning their retirement future and decided the time was right to officially add me to their newly blended family.
我39歲的時候,從小帶大我的養(yǎng)母和她的新老伴兒在規(guī)劃退休后的晚年生活,決定正式將我加入他們的重組家庭。
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.
他們問起是否可以收養(yǎng)我,我著實感動。在去家庭法庭之前,我在幫孩子們上學(xué)之前做準(zhǔn)備。
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.”
我的兒子(當(dāng)時11歲)認(rèn)真的看著我,然后說:“媽媽,我覺得爺爺奶奶能夠收養(yǎng)你這很不錯。但是…我們肯定會在這里想念你的(我舍不得你)。”
