Eleanor called Grace Adoption Services immediately. Samantha, the agent, set up a meeting, and Eleanor eagerly agreed. Sitting in Samantha’s office, Eleanor shared her story, her desire to give love to another child, and her hope for reconciliation with her estranged husband, Joseph. She requested Charlotte’s file, feeling an instant bond with the girl. The first meeting at the park was magical: Eleanor and Charlotte drew, laughed, and shared small moments that hinted at a lifelong connection.
