The man looked angry and disappointed at the same time. Taking a deep breath in an apparent effort to calm himself down and said, "You haven't been listening. I have said we're going to adopt. Though going through the regular channels is complicated since I'm not a citizen."
"What do you mean?" you asked afraid that you may be losing a lot of freedoms.
"I live on a ship that is it's own country," the man said. "Don't worry about losing the freedoms you currently enjoy. We do have the same freedoms aboard the ship."
"That still doesn't explain why adoption is complicated for you or why you want me," you said wondering if you could escape if it came to that.
"Well I have to adopt from another country since there are no children needing adoption on the ship," the man said. "This causes a lot of red tape which I am about through. Now we can adopt any girl but I want you since you have the age ring. If I can't have the ring myself then I want it close by. Besides I can protect you from those who would kill you for that ring."
"But how would you adopt me?" you asked.
"I have a friend here who will help," the man said with a smile. "Now will you become my daughter?"
His explanation made sense to you and you had to admit that you were curious about what it would be like to be a girl. You pointed the ring at yourself and thought, "Fourteen years old." A warm feeling instantly spread through your body and you quickly changed. You shrunk down as you rapidly lost years. You became weaker as well through losing muscle mass as you went from an adult to a fourteen year old teenager. When you were done regressing your once tightly fitting clothes were far baggier. You were glad that your shirt now came down past your waist since your pants and underwear had fallen off. The strange thing was that the ring had shrunk to fit your shrinking finger.
"Now take your ring off and place it on the desk," the man said nodding. You did as he said seeing as how you wouldn't be transformed into a girl with it on. But then you paused slightly, and decided to keep your hand close to it just in case. Once you had put it on the desk the man pointed his ring at you and you felt the same warmth as before. There was also the sensation of your dick becoming a clit and your new genitalia forming. There was a slight tugging on your head which you assumed was your hair growing longer. Also a slight shrinking sensation as your muscle mass and upper torso shrunk further.
As soon as the warm feeling left you picked up the age ring and put it back on your finger, then pulled some of your hair in front to see if it had changed color. Well it did lighten, becoming a sandy blond. There were members of your family that had sandy blond hair when they were younger so it made sense that you could have the same color also. A glance downwards into your shirt revealed D-cup breasts, which you felt were larger than you expected by this age. Your hips had also spread out wider than your waist, it would seem that you hit quite the genetic jackpot in terms of feminine genes. You restrained yourself from touching your new genitals knowing that it wouldn't be appropriate to do so in front of the man.
"Now to get you your clothes." the man said with a smile. He pulled out his cell phone and began talking, "Ann, come in here please. Bring Sara, Jeff, and Ned too."
Two women and two men came in through an ornate door. The man pointed the rings at each of them and it looked like their bodies caved in on themselves. Before you lost site of them in their clothes you could see one of the women turn white and the other one turn pink and white. Both of the men turned pink with some blue mixed in. When they had been transformed the man went over the the womens clothes and pulled out a pair of pink panties with white hearts on them and a white sundress. From the mens clothes he took out a pair of thong sandals with a blue sole and the rest was pink. He seemed to be checking the tags on them and then he took out his phone and called someone. He handed the clothes to you and left the room saying: "We'll be heading home soon, so get dressed."
You look around at your surroundings. You could put the clothes on but... What about the people he transformed into them? Should you really wear living people? It just didn't feel right somehow...
