86. Something We're Thinking About

The weekend had finally arrived. Saw and Gaty were with the two older girls coloring, and yes, they did it with crayons this time. Meanwhile, Coiny, Pin, and Needle were with Dimey doing some tummy time. They had gathered a wide variety of toys, and they were trying to encourage the 5 month old to reach out and grab them.

Barf Bag and Donut went up to the throuple, witnessing the cute scene of Dimey. They had wanted to ask something of one of them, but took a second to marvel at the cute baby.

"Well look at this cuteness," Barf Bag said with a smile.

Coiny smiled back at her, "we're trying to get him to grab the toys. He's gotten so close over these past few days, we think today might be the day!"

Donut with happy that Dimey was hitting such a huge milestone, "Well isn't that exiting!" He then went and crouched down to where Dimey

Barf Bag didn't want to hang around for too long, as she made sure to tell them the reason why they came up to them, "Uh, anyway, the two of us wanted to talk to Needle about something."

Needle looked up in surprise, "Me? Why me?"

Barf Bag, "It's nothing to be worried about, we...just want to know something about you is all."

Needle was very confused. "...Okay?" she responded hesitantly.

The three of them made their way into Barf Bag and Donuts room, as Donut shut the door behind them.

Barf Bag then gestured to a chair that they had in their room, "Have a seat, Needle."

Needle started to become even more confused, as she took a seat in the chair, "...why do I feel like I'm being interrogated?"

Donut laughed, "Don't worry, it's nothing like that, we just had some questions to ask you is all."

Needle was still hesitant at what they were doing, but decided to go a long with it anyway, "Okay, ask away!"

Barf Bag took a deep breath, "So...after the two of us have been talking for a little while about wanting a kid...adoption is something we've been considering for a little while."

Needle instantly knew where this was going, but continued to let the two of them talk.

"Barfy and I have watched lots, and I mean LOTS, of videos online about the whole adoption process and what that would look like for us," Donut responded.

"And then we thought," Barf Bag added, looking Needle right in the eyes, "It wouldn't be a bad idea to get a little bit of insight from an adoptee herself!"

Needle now understood why they were being so subtle, "Oh, Okay. What do you guys want to know?"

Donut thought about what was best to ask her about, "We just want to know a little bit about your journey through the adoption process. How old were you when you got adopted? When did you find out you were adopted? Do you ever think about your biological parents? It's okay if you don't feel comfortable sharing, we just want to know how to handle everything if we do end up adopting a child."

A smile started to form on Needle's face, "I'm not uncomfortable answering anything at all, I understand where you guys are coming from!"

Barf Bag sighed in relief, "Well that's good to hear, talk to us about anything we think we should know."

Needle took it from the top, "I was adopted when I was just a baby, so I don't really remember life with my biological parents. They, unfortunately, weren't in a place where they could raise me properly. So, they made the difficult decision to put me up for adoption."
