Re: Non-Traditional Family Congrats Sign Up + note
in reply to a message by britto08
Note: I will finish the most recent round of your other congrats soon. I like to make my stories good and my summer research has kept me busy this week.
UN: Cassandra Grace Logan
Type of Family: All-adopted/mostly adopted (leaning more towards all ATM)
LN: Roth (though DW occasionally uses maiden name listed below)
DH: Ariel Shai Roth "Ari" (30)
DW: Dr. Julia Sergeyevna Ivanova (26)
Bit of backstory: Ari's family had immigrated to Russia (hence the lack of patronymics), and had given him up for adoption at 6 when they could no longer afford to care for him. Julia was born to a single mother who passed away giving birth to another child (that did not survive) when Julia was nearly 3. Ari and Julia grew up together in the same Russian orphanage for about 5 years. They were best friends from the time they met. When Ari was 12, he was adopted by Elior and Maya Roth, a Jewish American couple who had made aliyah to Israel. 8 year old Julia was adopted barely a week later by Sergey Ivanov, a US Ambassador, and his wife Madeleine.
The two children did not see each other again for ten years despite all attempts to make contact. When an 18-year-old Julia went on a trip to Israel with the Birthright organization, she was happily shocked to see one of the soliders joining her group was "her" Ari, now 22. They barely left each other's side the whole rest of the trip and have been together ever since. Julia finished college and went into medical school for pediatrics while Ari finished up his military service and immigrated to the United States. After receiving his citizenship, he put his skills to good use and joined the Secret Service.
(Yay for stories. I like writing them. Congrats always help me work out details of actual stories I want to write.)
