Almost as if on cue, the caretaker looked up at me in surprise; in wonder if what she heard was really what I said. I simply smiled and sat down next to her. I released a heavy sigh as well, but more of relief than anything else.
“So…” I curiously said while clasping my hands together. “I’m uh, kind of new to the whole adoption thing-”
“Oh! Of course, I’m sorry Mr. Soel, please right this way.” She gestured, glowing in suppressed excitement.
She led me to an office nearby and no sooner did she close the door, she pulled out what appeared to be an encyclopedia’s worth of paper.
“This is where the fun starts.” The caretaker said with a small chuckle.
“Grreaaat.” I muttered, in shock at the ridiculous amount of paperwork needed.
