Aging Out Day

Today is a special day, one with many ramifications. It's the chosen birthdate of my eldest daughter, the day she would have no longer be eligible to be adopted, forever losing her chance of having a family. Somewhere in the world might be a woman, a mother, thinking about the baby, her baby, that was left outside of a market that still stands today, as busy as ever.

Happy Birthday, Sissy! You have a mother, sisters, and a home to call your own!
