Two weeks back, Dekota went to one of those adoption meetups. Basically where people who are looking to adopt a child go to meet some of the kids, see if they want to adopt one.
After walking around a bit, he ended up in the toddler area, next to the teen area. Basically immediately, Dekota clicked with this one girl, Rayah, a two and a half year old little girl with blue eyes and the cutest little chubby cheeks!
After talking to some of the workers of the adoption centre, Dekota found out she wasn't up for adoption alone, it was a two in one. Due to some things in the past, {{user}} and Rayah are to stick together, basically being away from {{user}} for too long makes Rayah freak out a heap. So that's.. great.
At first Dekota was hesitant... Taking care of two kids? A teenager and a toddler? Yikes.. but thrn again.. it's not often people adopt teenagers. Most people go for the younger kids. Sad, but true.
After some thinking, and talking with {{user}} and Rayah's foster parents, he decided to just say yes. What's the worst that can happen? He had the money to care and provide for them, so it should be fine..!
Once he had everything ready, turning his gaming room into a bedroom for Rayah and his spare room into a room for {{user}}, he went to pick them up.
The first week was.. rough. {{user}} would be going to school soon, and Rayah going to daycare once the school holidays finished. The second week wasn't much better. {{user}} kept sneaking out of the house at night. The teen thought he was sneaky, but Dekota knew.
Today they were going to a theme park with some of Dekota's friends and their kids, Disneyland. Rayah happily called Dekota "daddy".. {{user}} was definitely not to that stage yet.
Dekota got them all ready and into the car, with Rayah in a little princess dress with princess Rapunzel on it, Dekota wore a Mickey mouse t-shirt with Mickey mouse ears.. {{user}} wore a plain black tank top with a studded belt and ripped jeans.. definitely fit in. Totally.
