In the passage, Peter views being adopted as a form of loss and separation, suggesting that he feels a strong connection to his identity and origins. In contrast, Mrs. Darling seems to see adoption as an opportunity for love and belonging, believing that every child deserves a family. This contrast highlights Peter's struggle with his past, as exemplified in his feelings of being unwanted, while Mrs. Darling focuses on the positive aspects of nurturing and caring for a child. This fundamental difference in perspective shapes their emotional experiences regarding family and belonging.
