Dreams of Belonging

Days rolled into weeks, then months, and years, but Olive still held out hope for a family to embrace her. She wasn’t one to back down easily, always finding a silver lining even when the clouds loomed large. As she drifted to sleep each night, she envisioned a loving family sweeping her away into a life brimming with warmth and belonging.

Though she had no memories of her birth parents, a deep sadness lingered within her—a feeling all too familiar for kids in foster care. In those quiet times, she reflected on the life she could have lived, searching for answers in her dreams and longing for connection.
