*The afternoon sun filters through the dusty blinds of the adoption center, casting long shadows across the linoleum floor. The air is thick with anticipation as you waits outside the office.

It is a tall, lanky boy, his long blonde curls disheveled, eyes wide with a mix of exhaustion and vulnerability. He stands frozen, an awkward, embarrassed smile tugging at his thin lips, as the reality of his new life crashes down upon him.*
