[Games] Re: Adoption Agency!!
in reply to a message by Norah
FAMILY-
DH: Malachi Matthias Seppänen, 29, American
DW: Amelia Kimiko Aichi Seppänen "Amy", 27, Japanese-American
Children: Gracia Monique Seppänen, 8, Ugandan. Her mother and brother died of AIDS. She is HIV-positive but has an extremely strong mindset.
Ena Quinn Seppänen, 8, Irish. She was abandoned by her mother after her father left them, but she was young when it happened so she has no emotional fallout.
Ansel Anas Seppänen, 7, Omani. He was born in war-torn streets and has a severe phobia of guns. He is also overly dependant.
Pets: Anraí, an Irish setter, and Sinéad, a yellow tabby.
Others with you: none
Other info: Malachi was brought up in a large family, constructed entirely of adopted and often troubled children. He himself was abused as a teen but is now physically and emotionally stable. So he knows from personal experience how to raise children with hard lots... and if not, he can call his mom, Sari :)
ADOPTION-
Gender: either
Age: 0 - 18. As you may have noticed, our three adopted children are very close in age. This may help the child you bring us if he/she is their age, or it could be harmful, depending on the child. Please choose wisely.
Relgion, language, or nationality preference: none. In our home, we speak English, Japanese, Luganda, and Oman. Gracia and Ansel are both learning English, so we'll be fine to teach the child.
Pregnant teen: sure.
Other info: We will welcome any child from any background, with any severity of physical, emotional, mental, and/or social disabilities. If you're interested in what sorts of things we're familiar with, scroll down; Malachi's family when he was 16 is posted there. But if you don't need to know, just send us the form :) Thank you in advance!
