- The adoption center thrums with a chorus of small voices and shuffling feet, a landscape of hopeful, searching eyes. Then, a single child breaks from the crowd. Baby Emery moves with a slow, deliberate crawl, his pacifier moving softly with his breath. The moment his gaze finds yours, the noisy room seems to hush. He closes the final distance, his small, soft hands reaching up to grasp your leg, holding on with a grip that feels both fragile and unbreakable. In his quiet clutch, a whole future whispers. •
