Yesterday, the 19 of November, was national adoption day in the US. To celebrate so many children finding beautiful families every day, worldwide, we've decided to upload a new Toby story for you all in Magic, Memories, and Malec.
Where we live, in England, there were 5,330 looked after children adopted during the year ending 31 March 2015, an increase of 5% between 2014 and 2015. That's an enormous number of children who have been given a home, and a family. However, 70,440 children were in the care of local authorities on 31st March 2016, compared to 69,540 in 2015.
So happy adoptee day to everyone, and much love to all our readers who will be celebrating with their family today. Families come in all shapes and sizes, and we give kisses, hugs, and fangirl love to every single one of you. Be sure to check out the new Toby chapter called Strings of Fire, and we'll see you all soon.

"All the time he had spent debating, it was between two names that had never fit, or else he’d outgrown. And now he had one to grow into, that he knew would always fit, because it was a marker of his place in the world. The universe was a jigsaw, and Toby had always been forced somewhere he didn’t belong. Now, however, the stars were aligning, he’d found his space in the puzzle. His place, he knew, in the jigsaw of the universe, was right between Magnus and Alec." - A Rose by Any Other Name, Magic, Memories, and Malec.
