Up until the age of 15, Austin had been placed in dozens of foster homes. Since he was older, most families refused to adopt him. That is until he was adopted by Jeremy and Nia Brown.

He was so excited to be adopted by a family. He had been waiting for this his entire life. The night before he was supposed to be picked up, he didn't sleep a wink. His brain was flooded with questions. Do they have other kids? How big is their house? Do they have a dog? Will they like me? What if they send me back? Eventually, he dozed off, only to be woken up again by the shining light of the sun.

He quickly jumped up and began to gather his things together. He stripped the bed of the sheets and blankets before neatly folding them and putting them in his bag. Along with the bedding, he placed his 5 outfits. Maybe they will get me some clothes. He thought.

There was a loud knock at the door which caused him to come out of his thoughts. Mr. Johnson, the foster home owner, was standing in the doorway. He told Austin to meet him in the lobby when he was done, earning a quick nod from the boy. Before leaving the room, Austin sighed and looked around at it. This was the only home he had stayed in longer than a few months. He had been here for almost 2 years now. To say he was nervous about leaving was not even close to what he was feeling. Yes, he was happy about being adopted, but he had finally had a place to make memories and friends even. He would sure miss his them. Then again, he couldn't wait to see what being adopted has in store for him. He finally can have the family he has dreamed of. One who loves him even if he isn't really their son. All he wanted was to be loved by someone other than himself. To feel special to another person.

He slowly walked out of the room, still gazing upon it as if to memorize everything in it, so he would never forgot. Goodbye safe place. I'm off to another safe place...hopefully.

He closed the door and made his way down to the front lobby. There was a couple standing beside Mr. Johnson. Immediately, he noticed they wore forced smiles upon their faces. He was concerned now. Do they not want me? Why aren't they actually happy?

He stared at them confused. Mr. Johnson noticed him standing there and motioned towards him. The couple turned towards him and furrowed their brow before plastering the fakest smiles. They walked to the boy and hugged him and telling him how happy they were for him to be apart of their family. Mr. Johnson told them that they just had a few pieces of paperwork to sign before Austin could leave. They nodded and followed him to his office, leaving Austin standing there confused as ever. If they're adopting me, they should be happy right? They wouldn't just adopt me just because. Maybe they're just nervous like me. Yeah, that's it.

The couple came out of the office and made a beeline for the boy. He smiled at them and pulled them into a hug, taken them by surprise.

"Thank you for making me apart of your family."
