DH: Rohan Orion (23)
DW: Winter Bellona (22)

---

Rohan and Winter met 3 years ago on the beaches of Brazil while there were on holidays. They spent a lot of time together and decided to keep in touch when they returned home. A year after, on Winter's birthday, Rohan proposed. They celebrated a small, romantic wedding on the beach eight months later.

---

They've been trying to conceive for 6 months now, but they haven't been successful, so they are considering adopting a child form Brazil. Winter and Rohan's families are really excited with the idea and so is Rohan. Winter, as much as she likes the idea of adopting, prefers to wait some time to see if she can get pregnant. After much consideration, they decided not to apply for an adoption.

For next round

Random event: Eden was very upset with Victor when he went out and bought a new car - he knew they weren't really able to afford it, especially with a baby on the way and them being so young. He promised he would borrow money from his parents but Victor hasn't spoken to his parents in over two years and Eden knew they would reject the idea. Victor had to eventually return the car and pay a fee.

SO: Nicodemus Amon "Cole" (24)
SO: Winter Isobel (23)
GS: Gabriel Hadrian
DS: Alec Finn

---

Cole and Winter met in high school, but they did anything but hit off. Winter thought of Cole as the most irritating, lazy, pigheaded person she had ever met, and he thought of her as a bookwormish suck-up with no sense of humor. Cole and Winter were in the same Trigonometry class in eleventh and tenth grade, respectively, and their teacher forced them to work together on a project. The two fought almost constantly in and out of class for the duration of the project - Winter backhanded Cole during the presentation, resulting in points being dropped from their grade. The entire ordeal only strengthened their hatred for one another.

---

Cole and Winter met again in their first year of college (Cole took a year off). They agreed to make an effort to let the past go and became something akin to friends. Cole finally asked Winter out a few months before graduation, and she told him no. He asked again... and again... and again... and finally she agreed just to shut him up.

---

Of course, they got married six months after graduation and had a son.

---

When Winter's brother asked her to become the godmother for his son, Gabriel, she willingly accepted. The ceremony was five weeks ago, just two weeks after Alec was born. We are glad Alec will have a friend to grow up with.

DW: Hero Isobel (24)
DW: Tova Leocadia (23)
DS: Paul Matthias

---

Tova and Hero met in college during Tova's freshman year. They hit it off and almost immediatly became close friends. After they both had graduated, they became roomates while Hero continued studying at law school and Tova started her career as a struggling actor. It took them a while to realise that the way they acted was basically more like spouses than roomates, and that they'd slowly fallen in love with each other without even noticing it. They started dating and quickly realised they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.

---

Before they got married, in fact, only about a month after they'd gotten together, Hero realised she was pregant from a previous relationship. Tova, who had always wanted children, was more than happy to help her raise the kid while they were living together even before she knew they were going to be married. The father, Geoffrey, had parted with her on good terms and also wants to be part of the baby's life. Paul Matthias was born on November 18th, 2007.

---

Note: Can I add the baby's father to my family? Should I make that my random event wish? Or should he exist without being in the family? Thanks.

---

Random event: Make a wish! Make a wish for next round, it can be a wish for, for example: a certain number of children, a boy or a girl, a pet, being excluded from naming rules, adopting, etc. Anything you can think of! (only rule: make only ONE wish, so not: girl triplets without naming rules)
--The wish: A girl next round. (Or to add the father if that should be my random wish.)

LN: Windham

---

DH: Theron Conway (25)
DW: Roxanne Fallon (24)
DS: Curran Henry

---

Theron Windham came from a long line of doctors. His father, his grandfather, and 3 of his 4 great-grandfathers (they family refuses to talk about the 4th . . .) were medical men, and when the time came for Theron to choose his career, he naturally decided to go to medical school. Womanizing is also a trait shared by the men of Theron's family, and he played the role well, having flings with almost every nurse in sight. That is, until he met Roxanne Larson. She was not like the other women Theron dated. She was not only beautiful, but smart, witty, and very intriguing. As much as Theron wanted to dislike her, he couldn't, and as much as she wanted to dislike this cocky medical student, she also could not. They were married less than a year later. Now, a year and a half after their wedding, they have there first child. Theron never expect to settle into family life this quickly (his father didn't marry until he was 40!), and Roxanne is not 100% sure he'll be able to. Will the former womanizer grow bored with marriage and family soon or will Roxanne keep her hold on the young doctor?

---

Another event uncharacteristic of Theron happened very soon after he began his plastic surgery residency at a prestigious hospital. A young boy, Fernando Miguel, was brought to Theron's hospital after being rescued from poverty in Guatemala. The 8 year old had been orphaned when his single mother died and no other family members could be found.

---

Sabia and Rafael first met at Vanderbilt University where Sabia was a sophomore and Rafael was a TA for her Chemistry lab. They noticed each other right away, but because of ethical concerns they didn't hang out outside of tutorials at all until they ran into each other at a party celebrating the end of the semester. They fell in love quickly, but Sabia's parents wouldn't allow them to get married until she had completed school, so she worked hard and graduated early and they married two days after graduation. Only a month into their marriage they found out Sabia was pregnant with Elinor. They hadn't anticipated becomming parents so soon, but are delighted with their beautiful baby girl.

The numbers: 11 and 22

---

Victor and Carys met their first year at college. They were just good friends then, both dating others then next 3 years. Junior year Carys' parents were killed in a car accident and Victor was there for her, helping her through the difficult time. It was then that they fell in love. They married after they both graduated.

---

They weren't planning children right away, but Carys discovered she was pregnant. Although they didn't plan to have a baby so soon, both Victor and Carys were thrilled. At a routine U/S they discovered it was twins (Victor nearly fainted LOL ). They kept the sex a surprise and were delighted when the twins, born at 37 weeks, were a boy and a girl. Carys gave them her parents names as middle names; Henry and Margaret. Victor's mother has been a great help with the twins, and although Carys wishes her mother could be there, she's grateful to have such a supportive MIL.

DD: Felicity Rosalind

---

Maiara and Orion met in high school. He likes to joke that she fell head over heels in love with him, literally. Being 5'2" inches tall, Maiara has always had a hard time being seen in a large crowd. So the first day of her freshman year she was being jostled around, as usual, and lost her balance in front of Orion. He was very nice and helped her up. Much to their surprise, the had four classes together. At the end of the day, Orion asked Maiara if she would like to go to the movies. She agreed. The next year they started dating seriously. Shortly before Maiara graduated, Orion asked her to marry him. Of course, she said yes. They were married in a simple ceremony with just close friends and family present. They have just had their first child, Felicity Rosalind. They have just begun toying with the idea of adoption.

---

Orion and Maiara wish to adopt.

Victor and Roxy met in highschool. While one might would descirbe them as highschool sweethearts, they probably would not. Infact, they hated each other at first sight. Vic went away to college, while Roxy stayed here, as Lundar women have no need for higher education. When Vic came back, Roxy couldn't believe the change! Of course, Vic was engaged to a girl he met during college, but after a torrid affiar, he could not deny his love for Roxy. So he broke the engagement, and after a whirlwind romance they were soon married. Victor's grandfather died two weeks before Trenton was born, so they gave him the middlename Rhys, as it starts with the same letter as Robert.

---

Rohan and I met when I was 16 and he was 18. My mother married a man who already had a son, and he (my stepbrother) was the best friend of Rohan. We got together soon after we were first introduced.
When I was almost 21, we decided that we weren't happy together anymore and needed to break up. Of course, I had had a steady relationship for five years and wanted a new one. But it didn't take me long to realize that who I really wanted to be with was Rohan, and in the meantime he realized the same thing about me. We got together again, and I found out I was pregnant very soon after that. We got married while I was pregnant, and then Noah Henry Wilder was born. We love him to bits, but Rohan took a paternity test which determined that he isn't the father. I think he is a little disappointed, but he has adopted Noah and we are doing very well together.

When we found Tycho we waren't sure what to do with him. We asked in the newspaper but nobody responded and nobody knew who he was. So we went to the veterinary and got him looked up. He was healthy and hen we decided to keep him. We didn't had any idea what to name him but then we cam up with the perfect name for him, Tycho.

DS: Grant Nicholas

---

Random event: You are considering adopting a child from Brasil. Write a bit about the discussion surrounding this and if you’ve decided to put your family on the list to adopt or not.

---

Ryan and Carrie were high school sweethearts. They met when she was a freshman, and he a junior. They seemed to be exact opposites--he the athletic captain of the football team, and she the quiet, studious honor student. But nevertheless, they hit it off from the start, began dating (one of their first big dates was to his junior prom), and fell in love. He proposed to her Christmas of her senior year, and they were married the following September, when she was 18 and he 20. Though young, they felt entirely ready to spend the rest of their lives together, and were thrilled to find out six months after their wedding that they were expecting their first child.

---

Grant Nicholas came into the world, December 4, weighing 7 pounds, 10 ounces; 19 1/2 inches long. He looks so much like his daddy with brown hair and blue eyes...an adorable little boy with a wonderful personality and a smile that lights up the room.

---

Before Grant was born, Ryan and Carrie looked into the possibility of adopting a child from Brazil, but when he came into the world, they decided to wait before having or adopting another child, wanting to devote as much time as possible to their little boy.

---

Stellan and I were high school sweethearts. (To make the situation even more cliché, he was captain of the football team and I was a cheerleader. But that's besides the point.) We knew each other through a mutual friend, who decided that it would be a great idea to set us up. That plan didn't quite work itself out, but Stellan and I did end up hanging out a lot together over the summer. At the beginning of my sophomore year (his senior year), he asked me out, and we've been together ever since.

---

Both of us come from huge families (I have four brothers and two sisters, he has three brothers and a sister), so naturally we started talking about what we would do when we wanted to start a family of our own. I expressed an interest in adopting, especially from Brazil or some other South American country, and even though Stellan wasn't completely sold on the idea, he was willing to consider it. Just as I was really warming him up to the idea, we found out I was pregnant! This was a totally unexpected surprise, but definitely a good one. Stellan was so excited for the baby and got a new job so we could start saving to get a better apartment. So now we have our little boy Dominik, and even though we weren't planning on having kids just yet, we can't imagine life without him.

Montague and I met while both doing jury duty. We had an instant connection and I knew he was the man I wanted to spend my life with. He proposed only 6 months into our relationship but it all felt so right. We recently gave birth to our first son, Liam. He is such a beautiful child and very quiet. Our good news was also fraught with some bad. Montague's grandfather passed away 2 hours before Liam was born. Montague wanted to use his grandfather’s name in our darling Liam’s, so that is why his middle name is Harrison.

Digby and Leocadia met at a highschool where Digby works as a teacher. Leo was picking up her little sister who's in Digby's class and then they started talking. Digby asked Leo out on a date and they went to the movies. After seeing each other for about 3 months, Leo accidently got pregnant. After talking for several nights what to do Digby and Leo decided to live together and keep the baby. Digby didn't want to marry and Leo didn't really care either way, as long as they lived in one house.

---

Later when Leo went for a check, she found out she was pregnant with twins. They both were very excited about it. The brith of the twins went fine, but after two days, Eira got really really sick. She had trouble breathing and was in the hospital for a week. The doctors weren't sure if she was going to make it. Digby never left Eira's side and Leo was mostly at home taking care of Tristan. Luckily Eira got better and was allowed to go home. She's doing fine and had no long lasting consequences of her illness. Both Tristan and Eira are growing really quickly, but Tristan is a bit bigger than his sister.
