“Describe the room. The light, the sounds, the voices.”

Why this question

Strip lighting or morning sun. The machines, the radio, the corridor noise. Who was speaking, and how.

Where it leads

These details fade fastest and matter most. Put down everything the room still gives you.

If your child came by adoption or surrogacy

For an arrival day: the meeting room, the foster carer's hallway, the airport — whatever your room was, describe it the same way.
