Story Transcript:

Lv: Rīgas bērnu nama ziema bija īpaša.
En: Winter at the Rīgas children's home was special.

Lv: Sniegs krāja ceļus, bet iekšā bija silti un mājīgi.
En: Snow covered the roads, but inside it was warm and cozy.

Lv: Krāsainas lampiņas mirdzēja, it kā būtu zvaigznes, kas izgaismo lielo egli kopīgajā istabā.
En: Colorful lights glimmered, as if they were stars illuminating the large Christmas tree in the common room.

Lv: Ap to bērni spēlējās, dziedāja Ziemassvētku dziesmas un gaidīja brīnumus.
En: Around it, children played, sang Christmas carols, and waited for miracles.

Lv: Inese, divpadsmit gadu veca meitene, sēdēja pie loga.
En: Inese, a twelve-year-old girl, sat by the window.

Lv: Viņa skatījās ārā uz sniegotajiem ceļiem un domāja par rītdienas tikšanos.
En: She looked outside at the snowy roads and thought about tomorrow’s meeting.

Lv: Viņa bija sasparojusies, jo rīt bija svarīga diena.
En: She was excited because tomorrow was an important day.

Lv: Viņa kopā ar Annai, audzinātājai, un Mārtiņam, divpadsmitgadīgam puisim no bērnu nama, brauks tikties ar iespējamo adoptētāju ģimeni.
En: Together with Annai, the caregiver, and Mārtiņam, a twelve-year-old boy from the children's home, she would go to meet a potential adoptive family.

Lv: Inese bija nervoza.
En: Inese was nervous.

Lv: Viņa vēlējās parādīt, cik ļoti viņai rūp ģimene.
En: She wanted to show how much she cared about having a family.

Lv: Taču viņa baidījās, ka neatstās labu iespaidu.
En: But she was afraid she wouldn't make a good impression.

Lv: “Varbūt viņi mani neiemīlēs,” viņa klusībā domāja un spēlēja ar matiem.
En: “Maybe they won’t love me,” she thought silently, playing with her hair.

Lv: No rīta viņi devās ceļā.
En: In the morning, they set out on their journey.

Lv: Inese bija rūpīgi izvēlējusies vislabākās drēbes.
En: Inese had carefully chosen her best clothes.

Lv: Bērnunama darbinieki bija lepni par viņu.
En: The staff at the children's home were proud of her.

Lv: Annai mierināja Inesi, sakot: “Būt pašai ir vissvarīgāk.
En: Annai comforted Inese, saying, “Being yourself is the most important.

Lv: Ģimenes tevi vēlas tādu, kāda esi.”
En: Families want you as you are.”

Lv: Kad ieradās iespējamās ģimenes mājā, viņi satika māti un tēvu.
En: When they arrived at the potential family's house, they met the mother and father.

Lv: Māja bija ērti iekārtota, un arī tur bija uzstādīta skaista egle, zem kuras daudzi iesaiņojumi bīdījās uz priekšu un atpakaļ, gaidot Ziemassvētkus.
En: The house was comfortably arranged, and there was also a beautiful Christmas tree set up, under which many wrapped presents shuffled back and forth, waiting for Christmas.

Lv: Tikšanās nebija viegla.
En: The meeting wasn’t easy.

Lv: Inese nezināja, ko teikt, kā sēdēt.
En: Inese didn’t know what to say, how to sit.

Lv: Taču, vakara vidū, viņi visi sanāca ap egli, lai piedalītos adventes sveču aizdegšanas ceremonijā.
En: But in the middle of the evening, they all gathered around the tree to participate in the Advent candle lighting ceremony.

Lv: Inese stāvēja un turēja sveci trīcošās rokās.
En: Inese stood holding a candle in trembling hands.

Lv: Kad viņa to aizdedza, viņa sajuta mieru.
En: When she lit it, she felt at peace.

Lv: Viņa ie
