” She promised to return.The woman looked worried and her forehead wrinkled. “I am Mary.” How long have you been here, dear?”Since the sun was in the sky,” Adam said, pointing up weakly.Mary felt very sad. She couldn’t understand how someone could abandon a child like that. “That’s a lot of time to be by yourself.” What if we look for someone to assist us?Adam paused, recalling what his mother had told him about people he didn’t know.Mary’s kind eyes and friendly smile encouraged him to come out.

She gently put her coat on his shoulders and took him to a restaurant close by.While drinking hot chocolate, Adam told me about what happened: his father, Harrison, passed away not long ago, and because they no longer had his income, his mother lost their house.

On the rainiest night, she left him in a cardboard box, saying she would return soon.Mary felt sad for the boy who had already been through a lot.”I’m afraid,” Adam confessed quietly. “What if Mommy never returns?”Mary extended her arm over the table and softly held his hand. “We will solve this together, Adam.” “I promise you won’t be by yourself anymore.

“Mary contacted the authorities, including child services, and the police looked for Carissa for some time. At the same time, she and her husband, Josh, welcomed Adam into their home.Their simple house, with old wallpaper and noisy floors, became his home for the next few weeks.Josh reminded Adam of his father, but he was even friendlier and more fun. But Mary was very different from Carissa.She enjoyed baking, giving hugs, and playing with him. But what stood out to the boy the most was that neither of them ever made a big deal about his disability.It was a natural part of Adam’s identity, and they adjusted to it without much effort. Carissa had never acted this way before. When Adam was six years old, he could sense that she saw him as a problem.

When Carissa didn’t communicate for a while, Mary brought up a topic they had been avoiding, waiting for more information. But the moment had arrived.The boy was drinking milk at the kitchen table while Josh was helping his wife with the dishes.However, Josh stopped when Mary signaled him. They dried their hands and looked at Adam.”Adam, dear,” Mary started. “Josh and I have been considering.” How would you feel about living with us… forever?”Adam’s eyes opened wide.
