“I said that was what truly broke our heart. To see how hard she was trying. We had tried to make her life easy and we hadn't. I don't mean "easy" in the obvious sense of good houses, good schools, etc. I mean easy in the sense that she would be free of both her own and our history. This seems to be one of the key promises you make when you adopt a child: you will take the child away from his or her history.”
