“Could Someone Like Me Even Be Adopted?”—She Pointed at Her Scarred Face

Human diplomat Martin Webb discovers Kasiah, a scarred Zephrani woman trapped in an adoption institution where her facial scars have made her "unmarketable" for 23 years. Despite cultural barriers, Martin adopts her under human law, sparking an interstellar scandal. As their relationship evolves from guardian-ward to romantic partners, they uncover a horrifying truth: the institution deliberately scarred children to create a permanent labor force. Their testimony exposes the conspiracy, leading to systemic reform across Zephrani adoption agencies. Together, they marry and adopt another scarred child, Iliya, proving that family is built through choice, not genetics, and that worthiness transcends physical appearance.
