Adopted By Dan And Phil - 2019

-September 2019-
Prologue

Each of us reached for a portfolio, dans lips were pursed into a frown. I knew he was unsure about parenting, and living with a third person. But we decided that adoption is the next step to growing our family.

Our manager, Simon Zazz, has visited six private orphanages in the United Kingdom and brought back the portfolios of ten teenage girls and boys, with their information. We thought we would go with a teenager because they are independent, and being new to the whole parenting game, we thought it would be easier than raising a toddler or new born baby.

"Hey Phil, you know that girl who runs the mystery blog, yeah?" Dan asked as he studied a portfolio.

"The one you showed me last Christmas about the girl who's parents went missing when she was four?" I asked. He nodded as he studied and I put down my portfolio to go take a peek at the one in dans hand.

"They labelled it a cold case in 2011 and nobody has heard anything about it until she brought it all back on her blog last March. I've been following the story ever since." Dan said as he tilted the portfolio so we could both read it.

Estelle Leblanc. 16.
Been at Manchester private children's institution for twelve years.
Bio: hi, I'm Estelle Leblanc. I'm sixteen, and im bi, so don't adopt me if you're a shit face. I'm very independent and know how to cook, so don't expect taking care of me to be that difficult. I'm really just your average teenager when you look past my whole orphan backstory. I take online courses and am on track to graduate in June of 2021. Think of me for adoption unless you're a shit head.

"So, you think you've found your girl?" Simon Zazz grinned as he swept the other portfolios into a pile. I glance at dan, smiling excitedly. He looked like he was thinking, but already knew the answer.

"We're not shit heads." He nodded as he looked at the girl in the picture.

"Exactly." I agreed.

"Perfect. I'll set up an appointment for you guys to meet her."
