“Welcome to your new home. I hope that you enjoy living here. I just wanted to let you know how special you are,” Mrs. Craig smiled at me then gave me a hug.
Hi, my name is Tiffany.
I had been back at Mrs. Silver’s Orphanage about a year when she called me into the office and said that someone wanted to adopt me. She said that they looked like a nice couple and they didn’t have any children. I thought that at the age of thirteen, nobody wanted to adopt me, boy was I wrong and the thought of having my own space was surreal. That night I had the most restful night I’ve had in a long time.
The next day, Mrs. Silver took me to the doctor’s office and I got some blood tests done. I had never been adopted before so I thought that it was standard procedure. As a matter of fact I would have done anything to not be placed with a foster family again. I never knew my mom, and some days I wished she was around and I comforted myself by thinking she probably had a good reason for giving me up, doesn’t every mother?
