Lorna gets adopted ...

Hello my name is Lorna Gibbons and I have spent the last five years in an orphanage when my parents were killed in an automobile accident, I never expected at 17 that someone would adopt me, but my newly acquired parents were very good people and explained to me that they knew that no one was going to adopt a 17 year old girl, so close to turning an adult, and by that reason alone they gave me the gift of spending my last year in a real family home and not an orphanage.

Bob and Linda Channing are delightful people and never pried into my business because I was almost an adult and gave me every bit of my privacy, I felt so grateful for what they had given me, living with them for the last year, that I pondered giving them a surprise of my own.

The day I turned 18 they threw a huge celebration for me, lots of presents and taking me out to dinner, and later that night they both told me that just because I was now 18 that I could still live with them as long as I wanted to.

Where does the next part take place ...
