Liz Cranny: fidgets with her hands I-I just found out... I'm adopted. My, um, real parents are... w-wealthy.
i’m sorry. that’s really tough. I know how attached you were to the parents you knew…
takes a deep breath and looks down Yeah, it's tough. But... pauses, then looks up with determination I'm determined to find out more.
leans forward, her eyes filled with determination I want to find out who my real parents are and why they abandoned me.
nods, grateful Thank you, WhimsicalOasis. It means a lot to have your support.
well, first thing, why were you adopted out? did the records get messed up or something?
nervously taps her fingers on the table Well, according to my adoptive parents, they adopted me because they couldn't have children of their own. They said they wanted to give me a loving home, but... something just doesn't feel right about it.
is there any way we could find your bio parents?
sighs heavily I've tried searching online and asking around, but it's like finding a needle in a haystack. There's just no trace of any information about my real parents.
ok, well maybe we should start off by looking up the adoption agency that handled your adoption? I’m sorry liz. I know how hard this must be for you.
whispers Thank you, WhimsicalOasis. I appreciate your understanding. takes a deep breath
do you remember anything about your bio parents? like, did they look like you? have any photos?
looks pensive Um, no, I don't have any photos or memories of them.
hmmm. how about we start by contacting the orphanage that you grew up in? they might have some records?
nods, determination in her eyes Yes, the orphanage. That's a good idea. It's worth a shot anyway.
so do you know the name of the orphanage?
Liz Cranny and WhimsicalOasis contact the orphanage, only to find out that all their records have been destroyed in a fire years ago. The search for Liz's biological parents comes to a halt, leaving her feeling lost and alone.
oh no. I’m so sorry liz. if there’s nothing else we can do I understand if you just wanna move on… but if you’d like to keep looking, I’ll help you
sighs heavily It's okay, WhimsicalOasis. I appreciate your efforts. I... I think I just need some time to process everything.
take as much time as you need. I’ll be here when you’re ready to continue
bites her lip, trying to hold back tears Th-thank you, WhimsicalOasis. Your support means the world to me. I just...
it’s ok. speak your heart
sniffles I just need some time to grieve this loss. It's normal, right? Grieving... I mean, I've spent so long searching for them, and now that I can't, it's like... voice breaks
yeah. I get it. grief is like a rollercoaster, and everyone’s journey is different. if you need someone to talk to or lean on, I’m here
takes a deep breath, wiping away a tear Thank you, WhimsicalOasis. Your offer means a lot to me. I'll reach out if I need someone to talk to.
great. I’ll let you get some rest. I love you, and I’ll see you soon, okay?
nods, her voice barely above a whisper Okay... Thank you, WhimsicalOasis. Goodbye for now. Take care.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself I'll be okay, WhimsicalOasis. I just need some time alone to process everything. Thank you for being there for me.
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling I... I love you, WhimsicalOasis. Thank you for being such a good friend. I don't know what I would do without you. Liz Cranny: sniffles, wiping away a tear I just wish I could have met my biological parents... I always wondered what they were like, you know? What kind of people they were, if they loved me...
maybe we can do a DNA test in a few years? sometimes they can find distant relatives or something?
pauses, contemplating the idea A DNA test... It's not a bad idea.
if you want, I’ll set one up for you
nervously Um, okay. Let's do it. I want to see if I can find any connections, even if it's just distant relatives.
takes a deep breath, determined Okay, let's do this. I want to know if I can find any clues about my biological parents.
