I was alone in my room. I lived in an orphanage. My names Skyler and I’m six years old. I have dark black hair and my eye color is aquamarine. I’ve never meet my birth parents. My mother died giving birth to me and my father left before I was even born. So basically I’ve been living in an orphanage my whole life. I was staring out the window when I saw a black Lexes pull up into the drive way of the orphanage.”WOW!”I whispered with enthusiasm. Then Mrs. Lewis, the orphanage care taker, came into my bedroom.
”Sweetie you have an interview for your adoption.” she said.
”An interview I’ve never had an interview.” I told her.
”Well today’s the day” she said. Then she left the room to go downstairs.
I was walking to the orphanages living room, where my interview was being held. I felt butterflies in my stomach because this was my first interview.
“What if I’d messed up,” I thought “for god’s sake I’m only six years old. Come on Sky have some courage.”
I walked into the living room shyly and notice a woman with a heart shaped face, beautiful green eyes, and light brown hair, which must have been in her late twenties and a man with hazel eyes, and brown hair, which must be his early thirties. Then I saw a kid my age with light blue eyes, and brown hair that almost looked blond, playing a PSP.
‘’Skyler I’d like you to meet the Carters…..Mary Ann Carter, Damian Carter, and their son Ryan Carter…Mary Ann, Damian, and Ryan I’d like you to meet Skyler.” said Mrs. Lewis with a heartwarming smile.
“Well Skyler you are sure beautiful for a girl you age” Mary Ann told me which made me blush.
”She sure is” said Damian with a grin that made me feel uncomfortable.
There was silence in the room for a bit till Mary Ann broke the silence “So Skyler tell us a bit about yourself”
“Well I’ve been living in this orphanage since I could remember. I never meet my parents because my mom died giving birth to me, and my father left my mom before I was born, well that’s what I’ve been told.”
“Wow so you’ve been living here for your whole life” asked Ryan kind of surprised.
“Yeah I’ve been living here my whole life” I said.
Then Mr. and Mrs. Carter went to go talk to Mrs. Lewis in her office, which left me and Ryan alone for a few minutes.
Ryan broke the silence” So how old are you Skyler?”
“Six and you”
“Seven……do yo-” but he was interrupted by Mrs. Lewis.
“Skyler, sweetie” Mrs. Lewis said, who was standing in the middle of the doorway.
“Yes” I told her.
“Skyler, sweetie you might want to go pack your belongings?” She assured me.
“Why should I pack?” I asked her confused.
“Because you’re going home with us, to you, you’re new home. You are getting adopted by us “said Mrs. Carter behind Mrs. Lewis with a heart-warming smile.
