Ariana Grande adopts - - 🦋Beyond the Stage🦋

｡°Bureaucracy, paperwork, and meetings°｡

As usual, the sun was rising on the horizon, filling Ariana and Ethan's home with a soft and warm light. This would be a decisive day for the couple. Ariana woke up early, her thoughts swirling around the big decision she and Ethan were about to make. She got up quietly, trying not to wake Ethan, and walked to the kitchen to start preparing breakfast.

As she waited for the water to boil for tea, Ariana found herself reflecting on the past few days and how Zoe had entered their lives in such an unexpected and profoundly touching way. She knew she was ready to take the next step and was eager to do so.

A little while later, Ethan appeared in the kitchen, his hair tousled and a sleepy smile on his face.

Ethan: "Good morning, love. Did you sleep well?"

Ariana: "Good morning. Yes, I slept well. And you?"

Ethan: "Me too. I woke up thinking about our decision. Today is the day."

Ariana smiled, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement. She put the kettle on the stove and started making toast and fruit.

Ariana: "Yes, it's a big day. We'll do everything we need to bring Zoe into our family officially."

Ethan: "I'm ready for this. From the moment we saw her, I felt she was already a part of us."

Ariana: "I feel the same way. Let's have breakfast, and then we can call Mary."

They sat together at the table, enjoying breakfast in a comfortable silence, both lost in thoughts about the future with Zoe.

After breakfast, Ariana and Ethan prepared for their meeting with Mary at the orphanage. Ariana chose comfortable and practical clothes, while Ethan wore a casual shirt. They wanted to be at ease but also present an air of seriousness and commitment.

When they arrived at the orphanage, they were greeted by the friendly receptionist who recognized them immediately.

Receptionist: "Good morning! Mary is expecting you in her office. You can go straight there."

Ariana and Ethan thanked her and walked down the hall to Mary's office. With each step, they felt a growing mix of anxiety and hope. They held hands, exchanging a look of encouragement.

Mary welcomed them with a warm smile and a firm handshake.

Mary: "Good morning, Ariana and Ethan. I'm glad you came. Let's sit down and talk."

They settled into comfortable chairs in Mary's office, which was filled with pictures of smiling children and neatly organized documents.

Mary: "So, I assume you're here to discuss something important about Zoe."

Ariana and Ethan looked at each other, confirming the reason for their visit.

Ethan: "Yes, Mary. Ariana and I have talked a lot about this, and we're determined to adopt Zoe officially."

Mary: smiling gently "I'm very happy to hear that. I know Zoe is very attached to you as well. Despite her reserved demeanor, I assure you she has shown more affection towards you than anyone else. However, before the adoption, there are some procedures and responsibilities we need to address."

Mary took a file from her desk and opened it, revealing several documents.

Mary: "First, there's the bureaucratic part. You'll need to fill out a series of forms and go through some evaluations to ensure you're fit for adoption."
