Do you think it's ok for your son to believe his birth mother would have gladly aborted him if not for the intervention of others?  What would your reaction have been if he'd said he was relieved his mother didn't leave him in a dumpster?  Would you have said, yeah, you're mighty lucky that's illegal or she might have?

Perhaps you should try to be more wise than a fifth grader and reassure him that his birth mother probably loves him and has his best interests at heart, instead of reinforcing his fears that she'd have wiped him out of existence if given the chance.  You and his teacher should be ashamed of yourselves.


Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes
