The ad would contain 39about her and her husband: they were 40, could afford to raise a child. But then something 41me: the major newspapers carried ads like this and their 42were larger than ours. “Have you tried the major ones?” I asked. “Yes, but all failed and one more wouldn’t 43.” She handed me a check and left with a 44smile.

I asked her if she 47keep in touch if the adoption 48to have a happy ending. She agreed but added when the adoption was final she was 49to give me the story.

One day my phone rang. I 50her voice immediately. “The adoption is final.

I wasn’t sure how to 54. But she smiled “Ben was meant for us, don’t you see? He needs me more than a 55developing child would.” She sat on the sofa, holding her son.
