"She was fascinated with words. To her, words were things of beauty, each like a magical powder or potion that could be combined with other words to create powerful spells."

-Dean Koontz

Hey y'all!!! I'm Rachel :)

I'm just a home schooled Chinese adoptee, who has fallen head-over-heels in love with the world of FanFiction.

My passions are music (I'm a pianist and violinist) and photography (I love landscape photography, especially photographing sunsets and flowers).

One of my dreams is to someday become an ER doctor or a cardio-throacic surgeon in the US Navy Medical Corps.

I will watch almost any police procedural drama or medical drama. I especially love NCIS, Bones, Elementary, Unforgettable, Rizzoli & Isles, Criminal Minds, Motive, Flashpoint, Law & Order: SVU, Untold Stories of the ER (okay, not exactly a medical drama...but still...), and Grey's Anatomy (the medical part, not steamy, dramatic romance stuff that the writers insist on throwing in...)

I also LOVE to read. My favorite book is most likely the one I've just finished. Some of my all-time favorites include the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, Heroes of Olympus series, The Hunger Games trilogy, The Fault in Our Stars (honestly, any of John Green's books [Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, and Paper Towns]), The Book Thief, The Maze Runner trilogy, and the Divergent trilogy.

I have a very busy life (school, orchestra, music lessons, music practice, volunteering etc...), so updates on my stories will be sporadic. I apologize in advance for this. My other responsibilities come first.

I love making new friends!!! I am also willing to discuss plot bunnies (and possibly beta)!!!

Legacy of an Adopted Child

"Once there were two women who never knew each other.

One you never met, the other you call 'Mother'

Two different lives, shaped to make your one

One became your guiding star, the other became your sun

The first one gave you life, the second taught you how to live it.

The first one gave you a need for love, the second was there to give it.

One gave you a nationality, the other gave you a name...

One gave you a talent, the other gave you an aim.

One gave you emotions, the other calmed your fears.

One saw your tears

One sought for you a home- that she could not provide.

The other prayed for a child

And her hopes were not denied.

And now you ask me through your tears

The age-old question unanswered through the years

Heredity or environment

Which are you the product of?

Neither, my darling, neither

Just two different kinds of love."
