I finally arrived at mother superior's office , I knocked and I was ushered in by
Sister grace, mother superior's secretary.
"Good day mother superior" I greeted cheerily smiling,"Bless you child, how are you iyota" she asked equally smiling, she was always so sweet.
" I'm fine thank you mother" I replied, just then I diverted my eyes to the guests who were present in her office,
I recognized them to be the couples I had seen earlier today,
"Good day ma'am, and sir" I greeted cheerilyThe beautiful couples nodded and smiled at me,
" iyota my child, this is Mr and Mrs dlan , they are lovely people who have requested for your adoption, they will be adopting you, so what do you think?" Mother superior asked,
I was stunned,excited, nervous, joyous , all the feelings came all at once, I was finally to be adopted, I would finally have a family ? I had thought,
I was so joyous within,
"I'd love to be adopted by them mother" I replied happily,
" okay then your papers shall be finalized by tomorrow and they will be taking you to your new home tomorrow so go get your things read" mother said smiling,I was beyond joyous , I went over and hugged her, she held me tight,
"I shall miss you child" mother said, making drop of tears to fall from my eyes, I loved mother superior , she was the nicest woman I had ever seen
"I will miss you too mother" I muffled ,
And she broke out hug, I went over to Mr and Mrs dlan my new parents, I hugged them, they didn't expect it , but the hugged me tightly,
I had already began to feel what a family felt like.I went back to my dormitory feeling emotional, I took my time to say good by to my friends and teachers and every other person.
I couldn't wait for sunrise to have a family, that night I was so nervous, I kept waking up every single our to check if it was dawn already, till I finally fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning feeling amazing, my papers were finalised , I hugged everyone one at the orphanage, telling them good bye, I cried ,
Tears of joy and sadness mixed together, it was a day to remember.
Mrs dlan my new mom, held my hands in hers all through, as they led me to their vehicle , I occupied the empty sit in the back of the vehicle , mr dlan help me put on my seat belt ,
As we journeyed to my new home they asked me about a lot of things like my favorite food, color , and lots more,
I was so happy that they cared to know , I answered all of their questions heartily ,
The journey to my new home was so far , it was five towns away , I kept asking if we were closer till I fell asleep, I had stayed awake almost all night while waiting for this beautiful day, and now I felt so tired and dizzy. I finally had a family , I had thought. Thank you lord for giving me a family.
