Movie title? B&W, '40's about an adopted boy

[kalanamak]

I remember only two scenes, one where the boy, who may have had crutches, and his adoptive father discuss the facts of life. The father uses a stick or crutches to draw a "nest" that lives inside the mother (all done very tastefully) and the other where the boy tells his class he is lucky to be adopted because he knew for sure he was wanted.

 

I would describe it as "heartwarming".

Here's a list :) I'm curious but I don't know enough about it to find in the list; maybe one will ring a bell for you--

No bells. It was similar to The Best Years of Our Lives, but not such a "big" story. One family, much less swelling music.
