I really don't think this kid had any malice.

I did talk to the teacher because I was VERY upset about it. I loaned her my book, "Tell Me Again About the Night I was Born," which she read to the entire class. She talked with them about growing a family through adoption without singling out my son. <br /> <br /> - Faith Unfortunately, I don’t know the child’s parents.

Those kids didn't come up with those remarks on their own. It seems to me that a talk with the parents of the children who made these comments is also in order.
