Mollianne nodded, "Mama, I want you to adopt me."
Amanda looked at Mollianne shocked. Of course she was planning on adopting Mollianne eventually when the little girl was ready, but she wasn't expecting Mollianne to ask to be adopted.
Amanda nodded, "Okay. Yeah I will, sweetie. I'll talk to your social worker about starting the adoption process."
Mollie smiled, "I love you, mama."
"I love you too, honey." Amanda said
The next day, Amanda went to social services and talked to Mollianne's social worker, Laila Brown about starting the adoption process.
Laila said to Amanda, "So you want to adopt Mollianne?"
Amanda smiled and nodded, "Yes, nothing would make me happier." Then she asked, "What do I have to do to start the adoption process?"
"Okay well first you have to get approved as an adoptive parent and then you'll have to go to court so a judge can finalize the adoption." Laila explained "I'll start the process to approve you as an adoptive parent ASAP."
Amanda nodded, "Okay. Thanks."
"You're welcome." Laila replied
"How long do you think it will be before the adoption is finalized?" Amanda asked
Laila shrugged, "About six-eight months. Could be less though."
Amanda nodded, "Okay."
Later that day, when Amanda went to visit Mollianne in the hospital because Mollie was still recovering from her appendectomy.
"Hi sweetie." Amanda said smiling
Mollie smiled back, "Hi mama."
"So I talked to your social worker, and started the adoption process." Amanda stated "It could be about six-eight months before the adoption is finalized though."
Mollie nodded, "Okay mama."
Amanda smiled at the young girl who she already thought of as her daughter, "I love you, sweetie."
"Love you too, mama." Mollie replied smiling back
