(Name Fact => Elijah: in honor of Roisin's granfather, Gaspard: in honor of Nathan's Father)DD/DD: Dahlia Azalea / Amaryllis Diantha (6)
(Fact => Nathan and Roisin can tell the twins apart because despite the fact that they are identical twins, they have different eye color. This is a very rare case (2%) and often the different eye color remains only in infancy, then slowly fades and eventually become the same. Roisin and Nathan really hope the different eye color stays for the rest of the twins' lives (Dahlia: Green / Amaryllis: Blue) but you never know...)DD: Branwen Karishma (3)
(Name fact => The couple chose the name Branwen for their little girl, not necessarily because it was a royal name, but because of its meeaning: Beautiful raven. Little Branwen was born with raven black hair, and as the months passed, one could tell she would be a beauty; thus she was named Branwen. (Karishma: miracle))AD: Lilavati Olena "Vala" (4)
(Fact => Roisin and Nathan adopted Vala because her parents were good friends of theirs. Lilavati's mother had died at child-birth four years ago, and now, unfortunately, her father Arun, a journalist, died in an automobile accident on one of his travels. Roisin and Nathan are devasted, and feel the least they can do is care for their late friend's child, little Vala.)

DD: Juno Kyane (2) Fact: Jennifer had always known that she wanted to adopt one day. When Juno was around a year old Jennifer and Jason talked it over and decided it was time to adopt. Almost a year after they first started talking about it they found Delaney, a ten year old girl. The second she looked up at them with her beautiful blue eyes they knew that she was supposed to be theirs. Delaney never knew her father and her mother died when she was four.
