The day everything changedArrival

If your child came to you by adoption or surrogacy — tell the story of the meeting.

Why this question

The journey there, the door opening, who placed them in your arms and what was said. The drive home with the mirror angled at the back seat.

Where it leads

This is your day everything changed, and it belongs at full length. Tell it the way you'd want them to hear it at twenty-one.

If your child came by adoption or surrogacy

This one is the arrival-day prompt itself — if it isn't your story, turn the page; the rest of the chapter is yours too.
