A FOREVER HOME FOR BRANDY Once upon a time there was a little girl. She had beautiful brown hair and big blue eyes that reminded you of looking at the sky on a summer day. Her name was Brandy. Brandy lived alone with her mother after she was born. Her mother’s name was Darci. Darci was really young when she had Brandy. She was so young she hadn’t learned how to make a home yet. Some people were worried about Brandy because she wasn’t getting everything she needed to grow big and strong and be healthy. These people said Brandy had to go live with some other people. The people Brandy went to live with were named Sherri and Bill. For awhile Darci thought maybe she could do what she needed to do to make a home for Brandy. She came to see Brandy every week, sometimes two or three times a week. Darci loved Brandy and wanted Brandy to be happy and to have everything she needed to grow up. After a long time Darci realized it was better for Brandy to stay with Sherry and Bill so she could have a Forever Home. She could see that Sherri and Bill had a home that was really good for Brandy. And they loved Brandy too – like Darci did. Darci knew that if Brandy lived with Sherri and Bill then she’d live near by and they could still see each other. Darci wants Brandy to always remember that she loves her. And that she always came to visit her as often as she could. She wants Brandy to remember the family she was born to – and that they all still love her too. Now Sherri is going to be Brandy’s Mommy too and Bill is going to be Brandy’s Daddy. Darci wants Brandy to be happy. She wants Brandy to love her new parents, Sherri and Bill. She hopes Brandy will love her new family and her Forever Home with them. Now Brandy has a brother named Wesley. Darci doesn’t want Brandy to worry about her. She’s going to be okay. For now Darci is living with her Grandma and learning from Grandma. Darci is figuring out what to do next so she can better herself and get an education and get a job. Brandy will always be Darci’s first born child and she will always love her no matter what. But Darci knows every kid needs all the love they can get. Darci is glad Brandy is loved by another Mommy and Daddy. She wants Brandy to be happy in her Forever Home with Sherri and Bill and Wesley. And the people in Brandy’s Forever Home love her and want her to stay with them always. That’s why Bill and Sherri adopted Brandy. Now that Brandy is their child their family is bigger and happier. Bill and Sherri will always love and protect Brandy. They will make sure she has everything she needs in order to grow. The End A FOREVER HOME for BRANDY
