in reply to a message by Ember
YOUR FAMILY:
Names and ages of all family members:
DH: Daniel Aldric (35) - architect
DW: Lillian Rose (34) - teacher
Uncle: Kain Matthew (39) - does odd jobs, Lily's brother, stays over frequently
Uncle: Christopher Brook (37) - photographer, Lily's brother, stays over frequently
Uncle: Lucas Samuel (29) - moderately mentally challenged, Lily's brother, lives with us
DD: Winter Annora (15)
AS: Victor Dominic (16)
AD: Kathryn Ariel (16)
Details about your current children, if there are any (so that we can find a good sibling):
Winter is fifteen years old. She is our biological daughter, and inherited a neurological disease from Lily, weakening her legs somewhat. She is very determined, however, and aspires to become a professional dancer to prove CMT can be overcome.
Victor, sixteen, was adopted when he was fourteen with his twin sister Kathryn. He has many emotional and behavioral problems, and attends the county alternative school due to being expelled from the mainstream highschool. He enjoys dancing, which he took up at Winter's begging, as well as partying, music, and basketball.
Kathryn, sixteen, was adopted at fourteen. She too has many emotional problems, and also attends the alternative school to help control her outburts of anger. She enjoys writing, house design, and listening to music. She is considering going into architecture.
Where do you live?: The United States, in the country. We live in a seven-bedroom, three-story, renovated farmhouse on six acres of land.
Do you have any pets? What kind and temperament?:
Adonis (chocolate male), Alcyone (yellow female), and Ariadne (black female), Labrador Retrievers
All have very gentle, yet energetic, temperaments.
Spock, Seven, Data, and Tuvok, cats
Spock (brown tabby, male) is very aloof, rarely spending time with us. Seven (orange tabby, female) is curious, but not overly affectionate. Data (grey and white, male) is the most affectionate of the cats, and the most patient. Tuvok (black) is also very aloof. They suit their Star Trek namesuits well.
Anificus, blacksnake.
Anificus is a snake. He stays in his tank-thing all the time, and is non-poisonous.
Would you rate your monthly income as high, medium, or low?: Medium
Anything else we might need to know?: Religously, our family is very varied. Lucas is a Christian - Lily's parents take him to services. Daniel is Atheist. Lily believes every god of every religion exists in its own way. Winter isn't yet sure. Victor is considering following Lily's oldest brother into Wicca. Kathryn is Agnostic. Kain is Wiccan, and Chris is an Atheist. We will respect the new child's belief, whatever it is.
YOUR NEW CHILD:
Gender preference?: No preference.
Age preference?: Fourteen to sixteen.
Ethnicity or language preference?: American, Canadian, English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Puerta Rican, or Cuban. Must speak English or Spanish.
Closed or open adoption?: Will allow supervised phone calls or letters only, but prefer closed.
Pregnant teen?: Only if by rape.
Would you be willing to take in a child with a severe, moderate, or mild physical disability?: None to mild - with her own disability, Lily will not be able to assist much with a wheelchair-bound child.
Would you be willing to take in a child with a severe, moderate, or mild emotional disability?: Moderate to severe.
Would you be willing to take in a child with a severe, moderate, or mild mental disability?: No - Lucas is enough!
Anything else we might need to know?: Vic has a mild criminal record, and can be very intimidating, so the child should not be easily frightened by teenage males. Lily's two older brothers, in their late thirties, visit often as well, and the oldest one is also intimidating at first glance - tall, tattoos, muscular.

Congratulations!
Congrats to Lily and Daniel, as well as all their children – we have found you a son!
Mikhail Maiorov is a 14-year-old boy born in London to Russian parents. He speaks good English, but his mixture of Russian (from his parents) and British (from his hometown) accents is quite recognizable. Mikhail has a difficult time attaching to other people, especially adults, as his parents figured he could raise himself and he spent a lot of time on the streets. He is very independent and intelligent, though his academic grades wouldn't show this! He is quite the lady's man but has kept his virginity even through his street life. We think that he will really enjoy Winter's company and may be able to learn how to dance with her and Victor. We're not sure how he will get along with Kathryn.
It may be difficult to reach Mikhail at first. He likes to keep his distance from adults and usually refuses to obey. However, the reason we chose him for your family is because we believe that Jim's mental disability will make him a little more approachable to Mikhail – and by that we mean that perhaps since Jim is an adult but acts like a child, Mikhail will reconsider his prejudice of adults and maybe have a better time around them.
Being the strong, athletic boy he is, we're pretty sure he will love playing and wrestling with your dogs. He has shown a huge love for big dogs like that, and maybe being able to spend time alone with them, when he can't attach to the human members of your family at first, will feel more at home. He tells us that he would like to keep his surname, Maiorov, as a middle name, but wouldn't mind if you would like to give him another middle name.

Six Months Later...
DH: Daniel Aldric (35) - architect
DW: Lillian Rose (34) - teacher
Uncle: Kain Matthew (39) - does odd jobs, Lily's brother, stays over frequently
Uncle: Christopher Brook (37) - photographer, Lily's brother, stays over frequently
Uncle: Lucas Samuel (29) - moderately mentally challenged, Lily's brother, lives with us
DD: Winter Annora (15)
AS: Victor Dominic (16)
AD: Kathryn Ariel (16)
AS: Mikhail Maiorov (14)
DDogs: Adonis, Alcyone, and Ariadne
DCats: Spock, Seven, Data, and Tuvok
DSnake: Anificus
Mikhail does indeed enjoy the company of the dogs, and can often be found in the backyard playing with them. He is having trouble opening up to Dan and me, but he and Lucas (AKA Jim, *lol*) are getting along well. He was wary of Chris at first, but soon found Kain's rather immature personality to be safe enough. He and Winter get along well, despite a few minor property disputes, and he looks up to Victor for guidance. He and Kathryn get along okay, but they don't end up spending much time together.
Mikhail sometimes joins Victor and Winter in the dining room, where they practice dancing, but usually prefers to play basketball with Victor and Kain. He has also found himself in a guitar class at his highschool (the regular one), and often spends his free time in his room practicing.
Thank you for blessing our family with Mikhail!

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry about messing up that name! I was gonna go back and check to make sure it was right, but then I decided, "No, I'm sure it was Uncle Jim." Lol! I'm so sorry!

That's okay.
I do have an Uncle Jim... Just not a brother Jim. No problem. It provided some amusement for me to call him that at lunch, anyway. :p
(I based the three brothers off three of my own. The rest was fictional.)
