I can relate to the story on the concept of trying to bury the past. I like the twist of the story, too.

Adoption storylines are tricky, because you don't want to run the risk of negating adoptive parents in favour of biological parents, but it doesn't sound like this does that. Rather, it sounds like it's showing us the strength required on both sides. Thank you.
