Experience is (Not) Everything

The cover art of the novel I was reading last night is a black and white photograph of two sleeping babies. The Boss asked me who they were and I told him the book was about twin brothers and that the picture was supposed to be them as babies.

Him: "Oh. Are they adopted?"
Me: "No."
Him: (with great concern) "You mean they don't have a family?"

We have been praying for kids on photolistings that don't have families yet and are waiting to be adopted. I guess we might not have covered the fact that most kids become a part of their family in a more traditional way.
