The New Fish

The New Fish

  By: Audrey Fish (age 7)

Once upon a time there was a family that wanted to adopt a baby. So they went to Thailand to be Missionaries. They had a friend that knew a woman that was pregnant and could not take care of the baby. So the Fish’s prayed for the woman. Then the Fish’s went to an orphanage to see other babies. They saw a little girl that had no parents only nannies. So they talked to the nannies about the girl. The nannies said her name was Mekala. The Fish family went back home to eat dinner. The next day the Fish’s came to a church to meet the mother of the baby. The mother of the baby said the baby was a girl. That afternoon the Fish family went back to the orphanage to see Mekala again. They noticed that she went back to her family. So the Fish’s went back home to do other stuff. They prayed and asked Jesus, “Do you want us to adopt this baby?” The next day they decided to go to the lady's house. When they got there the lady said, “Will you adopt my baby?” The Fish’s said, “Yes.” So the next day the Fish’s went to Nakon Nayok with their friend. It was a flood outside. The Fish’s waited for the mother and the baby a long time. And then finally they came and the mother kissed the baby goodbye and put the baby in Mrs. Fish’s arms. Mrs. Fish cried. The baby looked up at her and smiled. The baby knew that she got a new family. The Fish’s named the baby Audrey Napah Fish. The years passed by and one day when Audrey was five she asked her mother, “Can you tell me my birth story?” The mother told her the story and when the story was over Audrey asked her mother, “When will I see my birth mother again?” Her mother said I don’t know. Audrey wanted to see her birth mother. She knew some day she’d get to see her again.

The End.
