DW: Adeline Rebecca "Addie" {Rosenberg} Hayes

Location: Winchester, UKLouis and Addie’s new daughter was recently put into the Foster system when her Mom was killed in a car accident. Her dad, who was driving and drunk, survived and is now in prison. He relinquished all rights to his daughter so she could be adopted. Since the accident, their daughter has rarely spoken and constantly clings to a stuffed rabbit her mother gave her. Louis and Addie can tell that she’s a sweet and caring girl and they plan to do the best they can for her in her period of need.Louis and Addie decided to keep her birth name (it comes from the namebank below) and helped her choose a middle name since she didn’t have one. She ended up choosing between a simple word name that relates to when she met her new parents (Season, Month, Weather, Day, etc.) and honoring her birthmother, Marni.Namebank: Adara, Aviva, Devorah, Eliana, Hadassah, Kinneret, Liora, Margalit(a), Miriam, Naomi, Shamira, Shoshannah, Yarona, ZipporahEris

- DD/DD: [1; Chengde, China]

The girls’ father died in the army and, when their mother died in childbirth, they became orphans with no one to turn to. They have been in the orphanage since and, now that they are about to turn one, they have finally found a new home. Katya and Elias are over the moon with joy. They can’t believe how lucky they are to have two beautiful daughters.Katya and Elias decided to keep their daughter’s birth names (see namebank below) as either a first or middle name. They decided to only use one middle name. The other names they gave them are slightly matchy in one aspect but they are not too similar.Namebank: Bai, Cam, Fen, Hua, Jia, Jin, Kun, Lan, Mei, Nuo, Qiu, Shu, Tai, Wen, Xiuishild

DW: Juniper “June” Eliza Rowland, née Nash (31)
- DD: [Los Angeles, CA] (4)

A grandmother who was the sole guardian of her young granddaughter had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and wanted to find a couple to develop a relationship with the girl and adopt her when the grandmother’s time was up. Although it was an unusual arrangement, Thad and June eagerly agreed and have been enjoying getting to know their daughter over the past year. They officially adopted her about a month ago when her grandmother went into hospice. Her grandmother died last week.Thad and June decided to either keep her birth name (see namebank below) or use elements of it in one of her names. One of her other names is a classic that is not overly popular and the other is from Egyptian mythology.Namebank: Ashante, Carma, Divonne, Domonique, Imani, Kaisha, Katrell, Larrietta, Novelette, Othella, Queen, Raymina, Synobia, Xadriana, ZabethJessamine

- DD: [6 months; Juneau, AK]
Location: Juneau, AlaskaJericho and Felicity’s daughter was the child of a teen mother. Her mother tried to care for her, and did a decent job considering, but life got in the way and her mother just couldn’t support her daughter any longer. She contacted an adoption agency, met Jericho and Felicity and their exuberant family, and gave up her daughter knowing that her little girl would be in good hands. The newest addition to the Hart family certainly has a good life so far. Her older siblings absolutely dote on her and she and her playmate, Piper, have become inseparable. Not to mention her parents, who have hearts that seem to be bursting with love.Jericho and Felicity chose a new name altogether for their littlest daughter (see namebank below). Her middle name is short, soft, and sweet.Namebank: Alice, Cassidy, Clare, Diana, Eloise, Eliza, Fiona, Hope, Isla, Lucia, Madeleine, Melody, Paige, Sienna, SummerJulia

She was teased as a little boy in the orphanage for wearing dresses and, as she grew, faced violence and discrimination because of her sexuality. Despite her experiences, she’s a friendly and personable teen who loves to read. She is almost fluent in English after teaching herself the language.After being adopted, Viviana and Sarah’s daughter was finally able to become a girl officially. She changed her first name to a fairly popular name in the USA and asked her moms to choose a middle name (see namebank below).Namebank: Antonia, Ada, Camellia, Elizabeth, Eve, Florence, Ivy, Lucia, Lydia, Margaret, Miriam, Primrose, Roxanne, Susannah, ZaharaNinor

Little is known about his background, not even his birth name, but he is in perfect health and does not display symptoms of any conditions or disorders. He is a very curious toddler, and awes everything from potatoes to planes. Will and Clara couldn’t be more delighted with how he’s turned out and Clara just can’t stop taking photos of him.Will and Clara had a lot of trouble settling on a name for their little boy. Eventually they decided to give him a longer retro name with a hip modern nickname, and a middle name that somehow honors his adoption (Place, Time, Agency Name, Symbolic, etc.).pearlie
DH: Finley Joseph McBride
DH: Adam Frederick Henley
- DS: [16; London]
- - DS: [nb]

Location: LondonFinley and Adam decided to start their family with an older child: a boy who is now sixteen. Their son has had a troubled past and he’s gotten into a great deal of trouble in the past. He’s been really trying to change his ways lately, especially after his girlfriend found out she was pregnant with his baby. The two aren’t together anymore but they’re on friendly terms and they plan on both being in their son’s lives. Finley and Adam’s son was nervous to admit that he was a father to his new parents, but they have both been very supportive.Finley and Adam obviously kept their son’s birth name.

SO1: Drew Matthew Landon
SO2: Lila Deanne [Corey] Landon
- DS/DS: [newborn; Greenville, NC]
Location: Wilmington, North Carolina Drew and Lila have been in contact with an adoption agency for a while now, but, as they say, it takes a long time and Drew and Lila weren’t an exception. When they were finally contacted, they rushed to the hospital right away to pick up their twin boys. They didn’t even have time to dust their nursery, let alone get twice the amount of stuff! They were able to meet the mother there. She is struggling with depression and feels her boys will do better with a more stable family. Although they feel bad for the mother, Drew and Lila couldn’t be happier with their little sons.Drew and Lila decided to give the twins names with one thing that was similar and one that set them apart. They agreed that the similarity should be the initial letter and the difference ended up being length. Since the boys didn’t have birth names, Drew and Lila chose significant middle names (Honoring, Family Surnames, Nearby Places, etc.).Scorpio
SO1: Nicholas John Clancy “Nick”
SO2: Cierra Claire [LaCour] Clancy “CC”
- DS: [15; Las Vegas, NV]
Location: Los Angeles, CANick and CC were recently set up with a fifteen-year-old African American boy from Las Vegas who has been bouncing about the Foster System for years now. It’s difficult for a boy of his race and age to get adopted, so he hasn’t been able to find a permanent home until now. Although he’s very grateful to his new parents, he does have some trust issues so he wonders if there’s any ulterior motive. On the whole, Nick and CC are really happy with their new son. He has a ways to go, but he’s friendly, considerate, and ready to learn and his parents couldn’t possibly ask for anything more.Because of his age, there is no question that he will keep his birth name. Luckily for Nick and CC, though, his name fits right in with their style. He has a fairly traditional name. His middle name is a classic. He goes by a nickname (see namebank below).Namebank: Ace, AJ, Bo, Cal, Dex, Fritz, Mac, Mo, Pip, Puck, Rafe, Ray, Ty, Van, Zeekspacealien
SO1: Marnie Wu [33]
SO2: Violet Elizabeth Rosencrantz [31]
- DD: [5; Velachery, Chennai, India]
Location: Fairfax, California Marnie and Violet brought their new daughter home from India just a couple of days ago. Very little is known about their daughter’s past; she’s been in the orphanage for two years now and before that no one knows a thing. It is likely that she hurt her head sometime because she has seizures fairly frequently. The doctors say the seizures aren’t life threatening, but they will limit her ability to drive when she gets older. Besides her condition, she’s happy and healthy. She gets along well with her new moms, and is just plain excited about everything!Because of her age, Marnie and Violet decided to keep their daughter’s birth name (see namebank below). They have, however, given her a middle name: a nature name.Namebank: Arundhati, Bala, Darshana, Dipali, Gita, Ila, Jyotsna, Kalpana, Kavita, Lakshmi, Manjusha, Parvati, Shailaja, Sunita, Vina ValerieK
