p.o.v Hope
I'm stuck in this orphanage for 3 years now. My parents and sister died by a car accident when we went on a holiday in Ontario, Canada. I've never been send back to the Netherlands. Everything is going well right now, I've learnt the language very well and made a lot of friends in the orphanage and in school. A lot of people in school ask me: "Is it not difficult for you to have no parents?"

5:00pm
I'm peacefully watching tv with my friends from the orphanage. When Maria (a contributor from the orphanage) walks to me. She asks me to come to here office. I have a kind of feeling that I know what is going to happen. Everyone that walks into that office will be pleased by a family. I don't want to go, I have it great in here. Maria tells me that a 18-year-old boy adopted me. "So young?" I asked. Maria tells me that it is a new project from the orphanage. Young people who want to adopt a child can try it for 1 year. After that year the child that's been adopted write a report about how it was with those people. If this is going well, we are going to be able to change the age limit for adoption. I tell Maria that I don't want to go. "I don't want to lose my friends" I say.

Finally! I have my record label. I'm so happy right now. I can finely make music for a living.

The next day
I'm sleeping and my phone is ringing. It's my manager. He told me that the orphanage in Ontario is starting a project. *The manager explains the project to Shawn right now* He asks me if I want to do the project. I said yes it sounds nice to me.

Present day
Today I'm going to pick up the child from the orphanage that I adopted. I'm so nervous right now. I already had some stuff that I needed to read. After a couple hours sitting in my car we are finally at the orphanage. A women called Maria let me in. She tells me the normal stuff she also tells me that it is a girl called Hope. She cares a lot about people, she like to play korfball, she comes from the Netherlands and she has a weakness for music. A weakness for music? I'm so happy to hear that. The women is going to get the girl. I have to wait. Then I see here pass through the door.
