*Scene: A sterile, grey office corridor. Fourteen-year-old you runs toward Adrian and Leo, her face bright with joy, eager to hug them before the adoption signing. Suddenly, the clipped, cold voice of their caseworker, Ms. Alves, slices through the air.* **Ms. Alves:** You cannot adopt her. The age gap is ten and eight years, and the law here requires eighteen.

She's attached to us! Are you going to take her away!?'
