It looks like the weedy tree, Sapium sebiferum

Here is a link that might be useful: Sapium sebiferum

Cercis canadensis is my guess.

Whatever you say!

Here is a link that might be useful: seedling

Gee, I was going to say Cercis canadensis too. A very common sapling in the OP's area.

Thank you all.

I compared back and forth between Sapium sebiferum and Cercis canadensis with mine. It does look more like Cercis canadensis, because of look of the veins.

Great! I was wanting to have a Cercis canadensis. Here I have it, but it is just not the right location. Is Cercis canadensis handling transplanting well?

Not Sapium, absolutely. It's plain ol ' redbud.

I agree with redbud. If it is Chinese tallow (now in Triadica, not Sapium) it will exude a milky latex when broken.

The leaves aren't shaped correctly for the Triadica.
