So I suggested several    37  lines for these ads to her:   38  , Baby to love; or Dear Birth Mother, Let Us Help You. The ad would contain   39   about her and her husband: they were   40  , could afford to raise a child. But then something   41   me: the major newspapers carried ads like this and their  42   were larger than ours. “Have you tried the major ones?” I asked. “Yes, but all failed and one more wouldn’t   43  .” She handed me a check and left with a   44   smile.

I wasn’t sure how to   54  . But she smiled “Ben was meant for us, don’t you see? He needs me more than a   55   developing child would.” She sat on the sofa, holding her son. Both of them smiled. “You wanted a story with a happy ending,” said the woman “ You got it.”
