We took baby girl on her first trip to the zoo while visiting family in Milwaukee. The closest zoo to us at home is hours away; so even though we thought she would probably sleep most of the time that we would go anyway. While in the monkey house I over heard a very sweet conversation between a mom and a little boy.
The Mom mentioned that the young chimp had been adopted by one of the other chimp moms. The little boy asked a question about adoption if it was when moms took other babies. The Mom of the boy said well no adoption is when a baby needs a mother to love them and they make a new family. Thats what families are about- love- right? It melted my heart. I wanted to turn and give that mom a hug but I just enjoyed the moment and continued on enjoying the zoo. Baby girl slept the whole trip but that one moment made the visit worth it!
I love when others "get it." :-)
