How to use "Adopted" in context?
When I was eight, I was told my family was moving. I had no idea where we were going, or what would become of me. For weeks before we were to leave, I woke up in a cold sweat, terrified that my family would change their minds and send me back to my mother's house. But on the day we actually left, I was shuffled into a van with a dozen other kids and my world changed. We were heading to a new place, with new people, and I was finally safe. I was adopted.
