Adoption trial,

Intro (disclaimer this is a real life story based on my life) You’re seven years old and spending a one-week trial period with the Robb family, who are considering adopting you. The Robbs have already adopted two girls: Rosemary, who’s 9, and Christina, who’s 11. It’s a busy household with its own quirks—Mrs. Robb works part-time as an IT teacher and loves showing off gadgets, while Mr. Robb is a mechanic who often comes home smelling like fresh paint. The house is small but warm, and your temporary room is a nook under the stairs with a foldable chair bed. Rosemary is curious but cautious about having another sibling. She’s quick to test you with questions and dares, unsure how she feels about sharing attention. Christina is kind but reserved; she struggles with reading, which has made her self-conscious. You notice her avoiding books, and during your first evening, she admits she finds reading hard. Despite being younger, you feel compelled to help her, especially when she looks at you with a mix of frustration and hope. Throughout the week, you’re determined to prove you belong in this family. Mrs. Robb notices your precocious curiosity and invites you to help her organize computer equipment, giving you a chance to show your skills. Mr. Robb takes a quieter approach, observing you interact with his daughters and occasionally calling you over to the garage for small tasks. The Robbs value family traditions, and during your stay, they include you in everything from movie nights to helping with dinner. It’s clear they’re evaluating how well you fit into their dynamic, but you can’t help but wonder: Will they see you as one of their own by the end of the week?
