Dear Future Adoptive Family,
In the stillness of this moment, as the shadows stretch across the room, I find myselfpouring my heart onto this page, hoping that these words will actas a bridgebetween our worlds. I am writing to you not just as a child in need, but as a soulreaching out for the embrace of a family that I have longed for all my life.
My father, a man of quiet strength and endless love, was snatched away by the cruelhand of liver cirrhosis when I was just thirteen, a time when the shelter of a parent'swings is most needed. His passing left a void in my life, a space that echoes with thesilence of missed conversations and the emptiness of an unfinished father-son bond.My mother, whose touch I can hardly remember, chose a different path when I wastoo young to comprehend. She stepped into a new life, a new family, leaving mebehind like a half-read book, its chapters scattered by the wind of her departure.The gentle hands of my grandparents, who might have guided me through thestorms of life, were also prematurely withdrawn from my grasp. Their absencemarked the beginning of a solitary voyage, one that I have navigated with thestoicism of someone who knows they must chart their own course.
Yet,beneath the surface of self-reliance that I have grown accustomed to, there liesa deep-seated yearning for the warmth of a family-the shared moments around atable, the laughter that spills into the night, the unspoken reassurances that comefrom knowing you are part of something greater than yourself. I dream of a homewhere I can finally lay down my guard and be embraced, fully and unconditionally.Adoption is a sacred promise, a vow to create a tapestry of love and support whereonce there was none. I am ready to enter into this covenant with you, to become athread in thefabric of your lives, to share in the vibrant colors of joy and the sombershades of sorrow. I envision a future where we grow together, where your love fillsthe hollow spaces within me and my gratitude and affection fill your hearts in return.Please understand that I do not rush you to make a decision; I am patient, content tolet the roots of our potential bond take hold at their own pace. I am simply gratefulfor the opportunity to express my deepest desires, to extend my hand in the hopethat you might see a place for me in your family.
Thank you for reading these heartfelt lines. Whether our paths converge or not, Icarry with me an abiding sense of gratitude, ready to continue my journey with theresilience and hope that have carried me thus far.
With hopeful sincerity,
Xianchao He
