I believe in love. I believe in all the elements from which love is made. And I believe in their combined power.
Four years ago, when we decided to adopt Luke, the people from the orphanage (孤儿院) dropped him off and turned to leave. "What are his favorite things?" I yelled. "Noodles," they replied without even saying goodbye. The boy was nearly six years old, only 28 pounds and his face was crisscrossed with scars. Clearly, he was terrified.
Luke kicked and screamed. I stood between him and the door to keep him from leaving. His cries were painful, animal - like. He had never seen a mirror and tried to escape by running through one. I wound my arms around him so he could not hit or kick. After an hour and a half, he finally fell asleep, exhausted. I called room service. They delivered every noodle dish on the menu. Luke woke up, looked at me and started sobbing again. I handed him chopsticks and pointed at the food. He stopped crying and started to eat. He ate until I was sure he would be sick.
That night we went for a walk. Delighted at the moon, he signed, "What is it?" I said, "The moon. It's the moon." He reached up and tried to touch it. He cried again when I tried to give him a bath until he started to play with the water. After the bath, I powdered him and clothed him in soft pajamas. Luke was a sad and shy boy for a long time. He always attempted to mask something by keeping his head down and not speaking unless spoken to.
"What should I do?" I repeated to myself until Luke noticed a photo on the wall, in which I was standing out of the orphanage.
