"No, you can't ask us," The middle-aged woman replied instead of her partner. "Now, get us our new daughter."
"Ah... yes," The man in charge didn't dare offend her.
He quickly cleared the formalities and brought Ashlyn to the office room where the pair was waiting.
As Ashlyn stepped into the room, the middle-aged woman broke into a smile and crouched in front of her.
"Hansen, God has finally blessed us with a daughter!" The woman said to the middle-aged man as she took Ashlyn into her arms.
Ashlyn was stunned. She found herself into a warm embrace of a woman she has never known. Her young mind was shocked but her heart melted.
"Child, you are our daughter," The middle-aged man named Hansen also crouched down and joined the hug. "The daughter Stina and I have been trying to have for decades."
Stina agreed and tears formed in her eyes.
