By time she reached her 5^th grade she had lived with six or seven different families.  She was tossed from post to pillar.  Her care worker didnt know what to do with her and where to find her a suitable family.  She understood her case very well and felt very sorry for her.  She really tried her best to provide Sania with the best possible care.  She wanted her to feel safe and secure so that she could get on with her life and start looking forward to brighter future.  She worried so much about her that she wanted to take her home with her to stay in her own house but she couldnt do that of course.  Until one day, Nikki, her social worker, received a referral.  The family were approved and had adopted children before.  They received the final papers and they were ready to have more children placed with them and they were dying to adopt a girl.  It was the prayers answered for Nikki.

The family, husband and his wife were in their forties and they were very well known in town and had a very respectful place in society and good reputation and since theyd adopted before, it made them the perfect match to place Sania with.  They had a shipping company that was very successful and, of course, they had a financial stability and a very big, empty house. They had adopted a baby boy who was now bout 12 years old and they wanted to have another to keep him company.  They called him Carlos junior, taking the name of his adopted fathers name.  They tried to have their own children but they were not successful and for a very long time there was no joy and thats when they decided to waste no more time and to try and adopt again and this time they wanted to have a girl.

Sania was told about them and she showed interest straight away.  She agreed to see them and to go and visit them in their own house to see for herself where she might have to live for the next few years of her troubled life.  She was very tired and very restless from all the moving around and all the change.  She wanted to find a place of her own and a family that loves her and care for her.  She wanted to feel safe and secure and she longed to have a family to call her own.  Her only concern was, when she read the file, about the son that the family had.  She was worried that he might not like her and that he might try to make her life hell.  But as it turned out, Carlos junior was the gentlest, most kind boy that shes ever met.  He was dying for a brother or a sister and was very happy when his parents told him that they were going to adopt again and this time it would be a girl.  When the time was finally seta for her to go and meet them, she was so happy to see him.  Carlos made Sania welcome from the very first minute he saw her.  He showed her around the house himself and took her to where her room would be if she decided to stay with them.  He showed her a bit of the neighbourhood and where hed go to play or hang.  His best friend Matthew was in the play ground and he introduced her to him as his new sister. They got on very well with each others and were friends straight away which pleased everyone.
