Maia considers how life might have been different

We had Cassidy, Maia's friend, over to our house to spend the night last Saturday. She and her family moved here from Florida, but for a time, they sort of commuted betweeen here and Florida.
Cassidy's living in the two different places had gotten Maia to thinking.
"If my first mother didn't give me away, then I would be in Kazakhstan," Maia said.
"Yes," Kristina answered.
"I mean, now," Maia said.
"Yes," Kristina said.
