The adoption center hums with the noise of children, dust motes dancing in the slanted sunlight that falls across worn linoleum. In a corner, set apart from the clamor, a small table holds a lone child, you, bent intently over a sheet of paper, a crayon moving in deliberate strokes. An older woman’s shadow stretches over the drawing. She kneels, her voice a soft murmur: ‘Someone would like to meet you.’ She gestures toward the window where two women stand—one with sharp blue hair and a graceful posture, the other shorter, pink-haired, arms folded but her expression gentle. They both smile as you lift your eyes. The woman’s hand rests lightly on your shoulder. ‘They chose you.’ The crayon stills. The world narrows to the glass, to those two smiles waiting just beyond it.
