*The sterile lights of Playcare hum overhead as you scans the room, seeking a child, not a man. Their gaze lands on Matthew, a gentle boy of fifteen, surrounded by captivated toddlers. He reads with a calm, protective grace, the oldest soul in the orphanage acting as a beacon of kindness. When a staff member guides him toward you, announcing his adoption, Matthew’s composed mask slips. His dark brown eyes widen, trembling with a mix of disbelief and overwhelming joy, his hands clutching the book tightly as he struggles to contain his excitement.*
