Meeting Alina (Carsey/Drew)

Carsey had set up a meeting for herself and Drew to meet the social worker of a child in need of a home. They also planned to meet the child today.

"You excited?" Carsey asked Drew as they entered the hospital.

"Very, are you?" Drew asked

Carsey nodded. "I really hope this works," Carsey said.

"Me too." Drew said

Carsey smiled when she spotted the social worker.

Drew took Carsey's hand.

"Hi, you must be Mr. and Mrs McIntyre," Amber, the social worker said.

"That would be correct." Drew said

"I'm Amber Tomlin, I'm the social worker on Alina's case," Amber said.

"Nice to meet you." Drew said

Amber nodded. "Alina has been in state custody sine she was 18 months old," Amber explained. "She's been rather hard to adopt out."

"Why?" Carsey asked.

"She doesn't speak," Amber said.

"Hmm." Drew said

"Doctor's from all over the area have examined her and they've all found nothing to be wrong with her," Amber said. "She has the ability, she just won't do it."

"That's interesting." Drew said

"When can we see her?" Carsey asked.

"Soon," Amber said. "She is with a speech therapist to see if they can make any progress with her."

"Ok." Drew said

(I just joined one of your websites )

Carsey nodded.

(yay! just fill out an app and we'll take care of you)

Drew took a deep breath.

Carsey squeezed his hand.

Drew smiled.

Carsey smiled.

Drew let out a breath.

(Sorry I took so long to reply before, I was making a sig for the other website.)

Carsey rested her her head on his arm.

(it's okay, she's over there and on Kiss N Tell btw)

Drew ran his hand through his hair.

(Ok.)

Carsey looked up when the small blonde girl came toward them.
