       Hi! I'm Alyssa, and I'm seven years old. I have no 

Mommy, but I do have a very nice Daddy named Adam 

and a sometimes nice brother named Ryan. I never had 

a Mommy, because Daddy adopted me from China and 

Ryan from Detroit. He is a kind Daddy. His funny friend 

Tyler comes over sometimes with his 13 year old 

daughter Cassie. She taught me how to knit. One day I 

saw a boy from school have two Daddies. I thought only 

boys and girls could love each other, not boys and boys. 

Daddy says some boys love other boys and some girls 

love other girls. He calls them twosome couples. I think 

that it is cool that people can do that. It makes me feel 

joy that everyone can be happy in their own way, even if 

I don't really understand it.

     One day when Tyler came over, Daddy and him 

whispered something to Cassie and Ryan. They nodded, 

and led me to my room. We all played cards. "What is it?" I 

ask them. Ryan says "You're too little to understand." I 

stomp on his foot. "You're only eleven!" Cassie tells me that 

my Daddy and Tyler want to talk, alone. I ask why, but they 

tell me to focus one the game. Why won't they tell me 

anything? I want to know! The rest of the day we stay in 

my room until a pizza comes, and we all eat it. I ask Daddy 

and Tyler what is going on, but they don't tell me either. I 

am sad all night, until I have a brilliant idea! All night I 

think about it, and I even consider telling Ryan. But he will 

probably laugh, so I don't. I'll tell Daddy in the morning.

      The next morning, I talk to Daddy. "Okay, Daddy. 

Here is my plan. You told me that a boy can love another 

boy, and you an Tyler are best friends. You have been 

since you were five! So you should get married." Daddy 

smile. He pulls me onto his lap. His breath smells of 

toothpaste and coffee. "Listen, Peanut. Tyler and I have 

decided to get married. We are in love, and I was nervous 

about telling you, but it seems you have already accepted 

it." I am so happy I cry. I get on my knees and thank God 

for making Tyler and Daddy happy. When Tyler comes 

over with Cassie, we all hug, one big happy family. We all 

cry with joy. We make wedding plans and everyone is 

invited! I even get to be the flower girl! Cassie will be the 

maid of honor, and Ryan will be the best man!

       After the wedding, Daddy A and Daddy T tell us that 

they want a big family! We are going to adopt three more 

kids! We also get a pet dog, and a goldfish. I am so 

happy! It is time to get the new kids! They are all from 

Australia, not China like me, or USA like Ryan, or Mexico 

like Cassie! Their names are Jason, Brooke and Tessie. 

Daddy T tells me it will be a very long plane ride. He also 

said that I should it next to Tessie on the way back to 

make her feel special. She is only 2 and a half. Jason and 

Brooke are twins. They are 4. Brooke and Jason are 

always crying though, but Daddy A says it's because they 

saw their Mommy die and their Daddy sit in the street. He 

could not take care of them. So he left them at the 

orphanage. They always cry. I say it will be alright.
