magazines and you get a pair of scissors

and you just go through the magazines

and you try to find all the different

colors of green that you can find and

you cut them out and you try to find all

the different colors of blue you can

find and you cut them out and then you

try to find all the different colors of

brown and you cut that out you get all

these little pieces cut out see like

I've got down here on my table all my

greens and all my Browns and all my

blues and then you get to some glue and

you glue the pieces in and you just have

a good time with it you just blow a

bunch of blue in the sky a bunch of

brown for your mountain and a bunch of

beautiful landscape don't you like mine

uncomfortable I don't fit in at school I

don't fit in with other kids I don't

and nobody wants me around what have you

tried talking to your parents I think

they'd love to hear how you're feeling

Patrick and I know they love you very

much I've tried talking to them but

anytime I want to know about my real

parents they just Chang the subject well

maybe they're afraid afraid of what well

maybe they're afraid you'll love your

birth parents more than you love them

and that you will want to leave

them I never thought of them as being

scared

before it's still no use Mrs Kaiser I

still don't fit in with the kids who

have real parents I want to ask a favor

of you Patrick will you please tell

gerbert how you're feeling Gerbert's

adopted too you now maybe it'll help

well I'm supposed to spend the night

with him anyway running away is a very

costly decision and I want you to

promise me that you'll tell gerbert

about all your feelings and that you

won't plan to run away until you really

thought it

through yes ma'am oh thank you

anything I want to know about my real

mommy and they never tell me anything at

all about my real daddy maybe they don't

know anything about them I don't know

anything at all about my birth Daddy and

all I know about my birth mommy is that

she was 16 years old and friendly and

she had red hair just like mine I'm no

more than that about my birth Mommy it's

not so bad being adopted lots of famous

people have been adopted like Samuel in

adopted so he could be in the right

place to help lead the Israelites

through the Wilderness into the promised
