My Adopted Daughter (13) Took A DNA Test. When I Saw The Results, I Brought Her Back To The Orphanage Home

Evening routines

Every evening, we made sure Olivia was never alone. “Want to bake some cookies?” my wife suggested, trying to keep things light.

Despite the fear we felt, we kept our home full of light-hearted activities. Laughter bounced off the walls, a mask to the tension swirling underneath.

We tried to create a comforting space, focusing on joy and keeping our concerns in the background. For Olivia, we still tried to make everything feel normal.
