Allergies and Adoption, a child's perspective

Matthew: I wish I was adopted.
U: Why?
Matthew: So I wouldn't be allergic to dairy.

We tried to explain to him that his allergies have nothing to do with adoption, but I'm not sure if he understands that or not. To him, the evidence is pretty compelling that there's a relationship: 2 adopted kids can have dairy, 1 biological kid can't.

  1. Makes sense to me! Here's hoping he outgrows it still.

  2. This reminds me of them saying Matthew had no birth Mom. Funny!

  3. That is a conversation that doesn't take place in just any home.
