The adoption agency letter was finally in Sarah’s hand, the small envelope holding the news she’d been longing for. She held it close to her chest. A tremor went through her. This wasn’t just information; this was a key, a hidden door opening. She felt her muscles uncoil, ready for action.

Without thinking, she started cleaning. She scrubbed the already spotless kitchen, singing as she worked. The energy crackled within her, demanding release. The mundane tasks, once tedious, now felt like a pathway.

She needed to move. She needed to *connect*. She immediately called her best friend, the words tumbling out of her mouth in a rush. A sudden craving for the new, the unknown, and the answers to the questions she didn't know she was asking.
