Something Just Wasn’t Right
Ava was unsure of her motivation for feeling this way. She could ask for everything she wanted from this household. They would take good care of her and be devoted to her. Yet I had a strange feeling. Ava got a sense that something else was going on, but she wasn’t sure what. She had a strong feeling about it.
The Hearing Started
They all stood when the judge entered the room to start the hearing. Ava felt anxious, but she overcame it by reminding herself of the happy life she would lead with this family. The first speaker was Ava’s foster parents, who praised their parenting abilities and expressed their love and concern for Her.
