Dear Diary
Today I found out mum and dad are keeping a secret from me. In my house. Who do they think they are? There is a drawer in their room with words on it. Why are they keeping a secret from me? I'm 11, I'm old enough to know. I tried mentioning it to them but they just ignored me and changed the topic. ARGH! I need to know what is in there. They have never let me know what it is like to find things out for myself. I want to know what school is like, I've been home-schooled since I was 8 and its boring listening to a person talk and talk and talk. I want to be just like a normal girl

My mum caught me trying to get into their room today. I was told to go to my room and here I am writing this entry. Mum said to me "curiosity can be dangerous". I asked her what that word means and found out it means that I want to learn new things. Isn't that a good thing? My parents have always encouraged me to try and learn as much as I can. That's why I'm learning to play the piano. I don't understand why they are restricting me this time but never anytime else. My dad told me to not worry about whatever is in that drawer and it contains nothing.
Tonight I saw my mum and dad opening the drawer and pulling out a couple pieces of paper. They started talking really softly and I heard mum say "should we move it" and then they saw me in the doorway. They immediately stopped, and took me to bed. Why can't I know what is in there? I think I'll try and find out tomorrow

I forgot to write into this diary for a while and I learned how to use the internet to help me learn different things. I still haven't found what is in that drawer and my parents are still not letting me look at what is in there. I've had enough and my curiosity (still happy I learned a new word) is getting the better of me. I am going to open that drawer to see what is in there tomorrow while my parents are out. My parents have told me that whatever is in there is something we will discuss when I get older. I'm old enough. Why not now?

I don't know what this means. What does this mean, the piece of paper in there had the title "adoption papers". I searched up the words "adoption" online and it means that my parents aren't actually my parents. I don't know what to say. Does this mean they don't love me? How, what. I don't know what to say. What will happen from now on? I think this is the end of this entry and I'll ask my parents about this when they come home and maybe they still love me. one can only hope.
