"So are you getting adopted?" asked the girls when I entered the movie watching area, which was a big living room upstairs.

" I don't know, ladies. I hope they do, but you know what if they don't want me I guess I'll just be here a little longer. Anyways, what movie are you guys going to watch because you haven't started movie from what I can tell?" I asked as I was walking towards a spot in one of the couches that was free and making sure I don't step on any girls while making the way towards the couch.

" We were waiting for you, we thought today was a special day for you we can let you pick a movie we can watch today." said Jane, a girl who was half Asian and half Hispanic and her parents left her here the moment it seems like after she was born. She is only six years old, so this Orphanage has been her home for her whole life.

" You guys, you're so sweet. Are you sure you want me to pick the movie." I said making sure. all the girls we're fine with the idea.

 "Star Wars Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back." I said with a grin on my face. And recalling how in my interview we talk about Star Wars.

I saw Elizabeth who was the second oldest one here and she's been here for about a 11 years and she's only about to turn 12 soon, she walked to our DVD rack and pulled out the movie that I asked for and put the movie inside DVD player and we begin watching my favorite movie of all time .......again.

I start thinking if Patrick and Elisa left already or if they are still here signing paper to confirm they want me as their child by the time the opening scroll of the movie starts. Even if they do adopt me I won't know till the next day, because it takes a few hours for them to get approved and they get approved I can pack my bag and leave.I try not think about Patrick and Elisa while watching the movie,but how can I not. I soon get lost in the movie, one reason why this is my favorite movie. I get lost and escape for few hours.

By the time the movie ended, Ms. Roth entered the room and declared it was bed time. All the girls get up and pick their; bowls that were to fill popcorn, pillows, or blankets. I get up from the couch and start walking to the bathroom to brush my teeth, but before leaving the room Ms. Roth stops me.

"So, I just want to let you know that you are greatly loved here." she said, then let me go on to my way.

That could mean that Patrick and Elisa didn't sign the paper and she was saying that as some sorts of sorrow. Or she could meant that they sign the papers and want me to not forget that people do care for me here. I don't know what to think. I don't know what's going to happen, the next ten to twelve hours are going to be the most nerve wracking hours ever.

I go inside the bathroom and notice I am the first one here, I start to go to my basket and got my toothbrush and toothpaste and start brushing my teeth. After, I brushed my teeth and was about to start washing my face all the girls started walking in. When I was towel drying my face I saw a crowd of the girls were in front of me.

"Are you guys all right?" I asked as I put the towel away and started to put a simple lotion on my face.

"We want a group hug because we don't know if tonight is your last night here?" asked Amber.

"Okay group hug..... right now!" I yelled putting my arms out and I felt girls hugging me and hugging each other.

While we were hugging Ms. Roth entered the bathroom laughing at what she is viewing.

"Girls, I know you love Nataly dearly, but I need to have a talk with her." I felt my heart falling to my stomach, there is no way that I going to find out if I am getting adopted right now. I get out from the group hug and walk outside of the bathroom where Ms. Roth was waiting for me. I know the girls too well, I know they are putting their ears to the door to hear what Ms. Roth is going to tell me.
