It has been ([name]ROLL[/name] THE [name]DICE[/name] THEN [name]ADD[/name] 3) years since you put your baby up for adoption. You have since graduated from college with a degree in (SUBJECT), moved to an apartment in (CITY IN THE SAME STATE THAT YOU LIVE IN), and gotten a job as a (CAREER). You and your boyfriend, the baby’s father, (HIS NAME), broke up eighteen months after the baby was born, but the two of you remain friendly and talk once a month or so. You learn he has recently gotten engaged. You are currently in-between guys, not sure of what to do with your freedom anymore. You feel as though something is missing in your life…then you find a small box of photographs and you remember what it is.
In the months following the birth of your child, (HIS/HER NAME), you kept up communication with the adoptive parents, (FATHER’S NAME) and (MOTHER’S NAME). They sent you pictures once a month, along with detailed letters updating the baby’s progress. Mostly, these letters were from the father, as the mother recently got caught up in her latest project at work. You couldn’t help but feel a little attracted to the man. It bothered you so much that you confessed to your best friend, (HER NAME), and your older sister, (HER NAME), who warned you away from getting too close to a married man, even if that man is the adoptive father of your only child. You became upset, realizing what could potentially happen, and slowly began to distance yourself from your child and his/her adoptive parents.
Now that you are (AGE), you feel that you are certainly old enough to keep your hormones under control. You are about to call the adoptive parents when you realize you lost the contact information they gave you. And since it’s been so long, they could have relocated since then. You are about to give up until you are flipping through the newspaper one morning and a name catches your eye–in the obituaries. The woman who adopted your child, (HER NAME), is dead.

You drive to (CITY WHERE THEY LIVE) to attend the wake at a local church. Dressed in all black, you mingle in the crowd of sad faces, looking for only one. Then, you see him, standing by the open coffin with three children. The oldest, who is (AGE OF THE NUMBER OF YEARS THAT HAS PASSED), your maternal instincts immediately recognize: it is your child, and he or she is crying, holding his/her younger siblings.

Sibling #2’s name:
You stay throughout the wake, hiding in the crowd, talking to random people. When they ask who you are, you say you are a friend of the family, too scared to admit the deceased was the woman who adopted your only child. You learn that the couple had adopted one other child after your own and the youngest was a miracle baby. As the event is about to end, you remember that you had brought yellow roses with you but left them in your car. You quickly run back with the bouquet and place it at the foot of the coffin, with a small note attached to it, thanking her for taking such good care of your child. You take one of the roses, however, and follow the line of mourners out the door. You see your child, (HIS/HER NAME), standing close to the door, trying to hide his/her face, clearly anxious to leave. You approach him/her, tap them on the shoulder. They look up at you with large, watery eyes; you yourself feel as though you want to cry. Neither of you speak. You hand them the rose, they silently accept it, kiss them on the forehead, and quietly leave.
