abuseThough I like your IDEA for the POV, and the wording is good . . . the whole mind frame is off! The idea that THREE YEAR OLD would be having such complex thoughts is inconcievable! Hell, even a six year old is iffy!

You need to work on believablity. The thought process you wrote out here, is more that of a teenager or an adult than a child. But in no way, could it be a three year old. A three year old's throughts are simplistic, and straight forward. They're still working out how to learn how to talk properly.

Not to mention, most three year old adoptees, don't know that they're adopted at that age. That's a topic that comes up later. If ever. It would be more likely that the child would have believed that the people who died in the fire were her REAL parents, and never knew that she had been adopted by them. And the state sure as hell never would have told her.

You really need to put EVERYTHING in this chapter in much simpler terms. None of this 'petrified' stuff, no three year old knows that term! Or 'desolved'.

And to have REGRETS at THREE?! You have to be kidding. The kid probably didn't have any idea what was going on! Kids at that age don't really even know what death is. That dead is dead, that when someone dies, they're not coming back.

I know I seem like I'm being really critical. But I really think that you could be a great writer. It's obvious that you have talent, but you just don't have perspective. Atleast not on what's realistic for a child.
To write a child, you need think about how a child thinks and acts. What they're capable of. Don't stray from that.

I really think, that if you rewrite this first chapter, make it believable, you could really get a lot more readers, and a lot more reviews.
