Aiden asked the other day if I had to get fingerprinted in order to become a mom.
"To make sure you'll be okay? Like you have to if you work at the school?"
Well, no, but maybe that's not such a bad idea. I've been watching some friends going through the adoption process and am wowed by the extensive work they've done and the scrutiny they've undergone. What if every potential parent had to prove their capability? I'm quite convinced my home studies wouldn't turn out exactly stellar. Just give me a half a day warning. I'll have it spit spot in no time, right? Mmm, maybe not.
Then he wanted to know how "they" decide you get to be a mom. That, I think, is a conversation for another day.
