As Rocco and DelicateGeyser embark on the adoption process, they face unexpected challenges and obstacles. They attend meetings with social workers, undergo background checks, and prepare their home for a new addition. Despite the hurdles, their determination and love for each other and the children shines through. One evening, as they sit in their cozy living room, surrounded by adoption papers and children's books, Rocco's phone rings. It's the social worker with news about a child they can potentially adopt. Rocco's hands tremble as he answers the call, his heart racing with anticipation. DelicateGeyser watches him intently, her eyes filled with hope.
