General Hospital Spoilers: Adult daughter returns, Chase & Brook adopt 2 children!

ABC General Hospital spoilers reveal that Brooklyn and Chase’s long-desired journey to parenthood is now facing a major question mark as they embark on a challenging and emotional adoption process.

For Chase, this is an opportunity to become the father he always dreamed of after discovering he cannot have children.

He spends hours learning about the adoption process, decorating the nursery, and has even started researching different parenting methods.

For Brooklyn, however, each step in this process brings up complex emotions she is reluctant to share with her husband.

Every consultation, every form they fill out, and every interview they undergo gradually pull Brooklyn closer to a past she has tried to bury for 20 years.

Innocent sounding questions from social workers about pregnancy, biological children, or family history of genetic conditions feel like daggers piercing her conscience.

Each time Brooklyn has to bite her lip, swallow her confessions, and continue playing the role of a woman who has never been a mother.

The new adjustments in the couple’s life are bringing about unforeseen changes. Chase has rearranged his work schedule to attend the consultations.

Brooklyn has scaled back on her music projects to focus on preparing for motherhood, and both have started joining support groups for couples in the adoption process.

But while Chase grows more excited about their future, Brooklyn feels herself increasingly pulled back by her past.

Every time Chase eagerly shares his hopes for their future—with child park outings, music lessons, family vacations—Brooklyn feels her heart tighten with the secret she’s holding.

That Gio, the talented violinist she is mentoring and has developed deep feelings for, is the biological son she gave up many years ago after a youthful romance with Dante.

Every time she sees her traits in Gio—from his musical talent, his sideways smile, to the way he tilts his head when focused—Brooklyn feels like she’s living in a parallel world of truth and lies.
