The suspense is in the air from the moment I am picked up by a kind person who wants to pack a shoebox. Then, where will I go? Who will I meet? What does it feel like to travel across the world with many other shoeboxes waiting to meet someone special? What does it feel like to lock eyes with the child when my lid gets opened?
