    MARIE HAD NEVER BEEN SO NERVOUS TO MEET SOMEONE. Today she was going to meet the family who was going to potentially adopt her. She was sitting on her bed, drawing in a sketchbook as she waits to see her potential new family. "I wonder what they'll be like? I sure hope their nice this time, not like the last house I was in." She thought, glancing down to her lap.

    Soon her thoughts were interrupted when her social worker Joan, called her to come meet the visitors. When the redhead went over to say hello, she saw a taller woman with dark brown hair, sienna colored skin, and big smile. Her eyes then went to smaller girl with dark curly hair, and the same complexion as her mother. She looked around my age and was the same height as Marie.

    "Hello there, I'm Terri, and this is my daughter Gina." The taller woman spoke bending down to look at me. Marie looked at her then her daughter and smiled. "What's your name?"

    "Hello, I'm Marie, it's nice to meet you." Gina smiled and said "Hi!" while waving at the redhead. She laughed a little and waved back.

    Little did Marie know was that those two women would become her new family.

TERRI, GINA AND MARIE ALL SAT AT THE DINING ROOM TABLE, EATING DINNER. The three all sat in silence, not needing to say a word. Terri sighed, "Girls I have to tell you something."  Gina and Marie look at each other then back to their mother. "We're moving again." She spoke suddenly, the two girls' mouths agape.

" They want me to go to Utah, Salt Lake City." Marie froze, not thinking of a word to say. Sure, the family move around a lot, following wherever Terri's job took them. She looked over to Gina, tears started to brim the girls eyes, Marie didn't notice hers doing the same. Gina then got up and ran upstairs to her room without a word, Marie then did the same and locked herself in her room.
