Welcome to Round 4 of 7!Three years have passed. You children are now ages 8, 6, and 3. Your couple's attempts to conceive a fourth child to round off their family have failed. They have been applying for adoption and now have excellent news: their new daughter or son will be coming home soon!
Please read the Rules carefully they change each round! (AD means adopted daughter and AS means adopted son.)Rules
~FNs must come from the child's birth country (use names from link given you, any page) and MNs are your choice.
~Adopted child may be age 0-3years, you choose age.
~Nicknames are allowed but must come from the first name.
~This is a Photo Congrats so Photos are mandatory (at least one of the new baby).
~Write about your families (this is encouraged but not mandatory)
~If you have to go out of town or miss a round just let me know. Also if you only have time to post names just let me know.
~Last but not least, have fun! :)Missing Something? Ask me or check a previous round:

Umm......this is a command decision here only because I'm the hostess and I make up the rules. You can have anything as the FN and only have to use a Chinese name as the MN. So your DD's name can be Katherine Bo if you'd like instead of Bo Katherine. :)

AD: Mykhaila Karolina "Mikky" (3)We were attempting to have one more child- we hoped for a girl so we could have an equal number of boys and girls. Instead, after two years of failure- we decided to try adoption. Jordan and I went through a long process and had a hard time choosing where to adopt from. We discussed China, Vietnam, Ethiopia, etc but finally decided on the Ukraine- having visited their a few years ago. ((Only because I was having a hard time finding pictures of a boy and girl of different races that were the appropriate age!)) Mykhaila was matched with us and we have so enjoyed her since she came to live with us. She has especially formed a bond with Matty- which is strange at how composed Mikky is and how crazy Matty is! Mikky is still learning how to speak English, being with Matty or being pampered by Sadie has definitely helped her! Zach has been playing violin for awhile now- he recently went to a competition for the UK and he won for his age division! We are very impressed with him! A new hobby of his has been to go to the Queen's Walk and play for some change for people walking by. He's made quite the savings! Zach and his violin

AD: Aleksandra Esfir "Sasha" (18 months)I'm using one of my 3 wishes to adopt a Russian daughter instead of a son, so now I have 2 left :)Lara and Kenneth decided to adopt a baby girl from Russia because of Lara's Russian heritage. The adoption was quick and easy, and they welcomed 18 month old Aleksandra Esfir, whose mother had died from complications at birth and whose father wanted nothing to do with her (and whom we call Sasha since her name is so similar to Alexa's). Sasha has been a joy - she's a very happy child and fusses very little; the fact that we adopted her so young has made the transition fairly easy for her. Libby and Alexa love having a new little sister, and the three have become inseparable. Casey has been playing the trumpet in his school band, and seems to enjoy it greatly. Little Max is going through a race car phase, when everything is "Vroom Vroom", and he tries to race with every moving thing in sight. The family is expanding quickly, and so far everything seems to be going smoothly!Only two pictures this time, dial-up is a pain :(

Umm......You were supposed to have adopted a boy from Romania, in the photos it looks for like little Cris is a girl. Did you realize you did this or did you want your son to be wearing pink and have pierced ears? Cristian is listed as a masculine name in the Romanian list.
You don't have to change the photos if you don't want, I just wanted to bring to your attention that your son would have a better time winning in the contest against other boys if he looked like a boy. ;)

AS: Máximo Bautista Porfirio "Maxim" (1) (from Guatemala)A couple of months ago Serafina had to travel to Guatemala for her work. She had to take pictures of children in need there. When she was at an orphanage there, she made a lot of pics of a little boy called Máximo. When she wanted to leave and move on to the next place to shoot, he crawled after her and tried to cling on to her. She found it very hard to leave and realised she'd really become attached to this little one. Serafina then discussed with her husband if it would be possible to adopt him. Christophe was a bit hesitant at first, but finally they decided to take him in and arranged everything with the orphanage. He was called Máximo, but had no MNs. They decided to rename him Máximo Bautista Porfirio, and they'd be calling him Maxim in everyday life. He's little Maxim (one of the shots Serafina made):
PhotobucketRosalie is absolutely thrilled to have a little brother and she's always close to him. Here's a picture of the two of them:
PhotobucketThe rest of the family is doing very well. Thibaut's violin lessons seemed to have paid off, because he's had several performances already and everyone is very enthusiastic about it. He loves playing and is saying that this is what he wants to do for the rest of his life. He's Thibaut, squinting against the sun, on a performance:

AS: Kalyan David (1)Photobucket
Kalyan was born in India, and given a cultural name, but his parents are native to Canada. He is adjusting very well to life in our house.Photobucket
Colin has been taking guitar classes for about a year now. He's rather good, for an eight-year-old. Colin enjoys having another boy in the house, as he's had to put up with two sisters for a few years.Photobucket
Juliet and Kalyan spend a lot of quality time together. In this picture, Molly and Keon took them to the park to run around and play.
