We don’t choose the families we’re born into. And that goes for young children who are adopted into families as well. Like Alfred, or Alfie as he’s known – an eleven year old boy who grew up in poverty in Scotland is sent to Canada. A new country. A new family. A new life. This is a short story called The Boy in the Photograph by Alexander McCall Smith.
