Sorry this was such a short congrats! It just worked out that way the way I did the spacing. This round, you and your partner have free reign. You can choose gender, whether you adopted, multiples up to triplets, and anything else you want. Hope you enjoyed my brief revival of the compromise congrats!

So, we can have as many children as we'd like this round. What do you think about adoption? We've got plenty of money, and space in our house isn't an issue, either.

- Wandering Moon (Lillian Abigail) +5

1/26/2011, 4:57 PM

I think adoption is a wonderful idea. I would prefer a younger child but have no preference on country. What about you?

- RowenaRavenclaw +4

1/27/2011, 4:13 PM

Same; a younger child, although I think an orphan or foster child (or even siblings) from New Orleans would fit our family nicely.

- Wandering Moon (Lillian Abigail) +3

1/28/2011, 9:04 AM

Agreed. If we are adopting one child then I think that they should be younger than Winnie, but if we're adopting siblings maybe no older than nine?

Do you have any preference on gender?

- RowenaRavenclaw +2

1/28/2011, 11:06 AM

No preference on gender(s), since we have two of each.

If we are adopting a single child, I also think the child should be younger than Winnie. If we are adopting siblings, I wouldn't mind adopting an older child, but I'm worried that Theo might not want an older sibling...

- Wandering Moon (Lillian Abigail) +1

1/28/2011, 8:28 PM

Hmm...well I suppose we'll cross that bridge if we come to it.

- RowenaRavenclaw

1/30/2011, 3:57 PM

So...How about a two-year-old little boy from New Orleans?

ATTN: Britto08

So we can have whatever we want. :) I'm open for anything actually but I prefer sons over daughters for some reason. Are you set on just one more child or what do you want?

Wow, sorry it took so long to reply to this! How about we have a set of boy/girl twins, becuase I have a thing for keeping boys and girls equal. Do we break out Jocelyn nn maybe Joss for a daughter? What about for a boy?

So love, we're almost done with our family, but I can't help but feel like there is room for another child, maybe even two... Our babies have brought us so much joy, but there are so many children out there without loving families, so I wanted to ask what your opinion on adoption was?

- LittleMissNicki +10

1/26/2011, 1:31 AM

In principle I absolutely agree with it, though I'd prefer to adopt an older child if we were going to as they are less likely to get adopted than say a baby. How would you feel about that? And what age range would you prefer?

- AnnaMarie +9

1/26/2011, 2:27 AM

I think that's a wonderful idea darling... Perhaps even a set of siblings who need a loving home? We hear all the time about orphans who end up being separated from their brothers and sisters because people don't want to take them together - perhaps we're in a position to ensure that is not the fate of one little group? Somewhere around the 5-10 age group would fit in well I think. Too old to be wanted by the masses, but still young enough to adjust easily.

Did you want to adopt here in England? Or overseas?

- LittleMissNicki +8

1/26/2011, 2:33 AM

Language wise it would be easier if they were fluent in English in terms of settling in. But other than that it isn't an issue where we adopt from. I agree I think adopting siblings would be a wonderful idea and would also make the transition into a new home easier for the children. We could possibly even stretch to 3 children?

- AnnaMarie +7

1/26/2011, 11:43 AM

I contacted an agency love and they've sent us a profile for a set of siblings! This is them, aren't they gorgeous?!

So from left to right is Oliver (aged 7), Mia (aged 5) & Rose (aged 9). According to the agency, they were all born here in England, but their parents actually moved the family to Russia of all places 4 years ago. Unfortunately, both of their parents were killed in a car accident and as the children have no family and their parents did not leave a will, they've been in a Russian orphanage for the 9 months...

What do you think love, are these kids ours?

- LittleMissNicki +6

1/26/2011, 2:29 PM

aww I think these kids are definately ours so cute! They're melting my heart already :) I'm sure they'll fit into our family perfectly darling

- AnnaMarie +5

1/26/2011, 4:09 PM

I think so too...

What do you think of their names? What shall we do in that regard?

- LittleMissNicki +4

1/27/2011, 2:28 AM

I absolutely love their names though as our children have middle names maybe we should give Rose, Oliver and Mia middle names.
Possibles:

Rose Annabelle Ferguson
Rose Arabella Ferguson
Rose Charlotte Ferguson *
Rose Elise Ferguson *
Rose Elisabeth Ferguson
Rose Isabella Ferguson *

Oliver James Ferguson
Oliver Jake Ferguson
Oliver Henry Ferguson *
Oliver Rhys Ferguson *

Mia Caroline Ferguson
Mia Isabelle Ferguson
Mia Katherine Ferguson *
Mia Scarlett Ferguson *
Mia Charlotte Ferguson *

- AnnaMarie +3

1/27/2011, 12:13 PM

Hmmmmm... I'm guessing that your favorites are the ones with the * next to them?

Well out of those I think I like Rose Elise, Oliver Henry & Mia Charlotte best.... What do you think?

- LittleMissNicki +2

1/27/2011, 3:10 PM

lol yea they were I do like them all though sorry I should have said.. I'm happy to use those unless you have any other suggestions we could consider love?

- AnnaMarie +1

1/28/2011, 11:09 AM

This is our family so far. How many should we add? What genders should they be? I think we need at least one more boy, because at the moment Mark is the only boy in the whole family. Do we want twins? Let's hear your opinion!

- Julia Elisabeth (Dahlis) +4

1/26/2011, 10:53 AM

Yeah, at least one boy! What about one pair of twins (twin boys) and one other single child?

- NamesAreAwesome +3

1/27/2011, 4:15 PM

Sounds good to me, though maybe more than one single child. If the twins are, say, four-years-old, then maybe a two-year-old and a one-year-old or newborn?

- Julia Elisabeth (Dahlis) +2

1/28/2011, 3:07 PM

That'll be fine by me! So should our plate look something like this:

- NamesAreAwesome +1

1/29/2011, 9:57 AM

That works! Let's start a new list of names:

BOYS- Ulysses (nn: any ideas?), Samuel (nn: Sam/Sammy?), Isaac, Oliver, Eric, William (nn: Liam?), Daniel (nn: Dan/Danny?), Theodore (nn: Theo?), Julian, whatever names you'd like to add to the list ('cause we're definitely going to need more)

GIRL- Elise, Ella, Joan, Catherine (nn: Kate/Katie/Rina/Cathy/etc.?), Stephanie, Monica (nn: Nikki?), Rowena (nn: Noni?), Georgia, Stella (?), whatever names you'd like to add to the list

- Julia Elisabeth (Dahlis)

1/30/2011, 2:41 AM

Ok, some of boy names I like: Dante (nn Dan?), Albert, Albus, Christopher, Anthony (nn? I'm not a big fan of Tony, but if we have a son named Anthony we could give him a MN beginning with J and call him A.J.? Or something like that), Jacob, Dakota, Florian, Ewan (pronounced like Owen)...

Girls: Bryony (nn Bry?), Lucy, Ava, Estelle (nn Elle?), Maria, Calanthe (nn Callie?), Marilyn, Jenna, Elena (nn Ellie?)

Ok, some combos (feel free to add more):
Theodore Jacob "Theo"
Julian Albert
Jacob Ulysses "Jake/Jay?"
Oliver Ewan
William Jacob "Liam"
Samuel Dante "Sam"
Anthony Julian "AJ?"
Isaac Dakota
Eric Florian
Julian Theodore
Christopher Eric
William Albus "Liam"

Where do we live? Perhaps we ended up moving to Israel after living somewhere else first?

Maybe our last kid was a surprise or we had what we thought was our last baby and then I got pregnant again.

If we have one more I want girl, if we have two I want boy girl

- Jade Diana (akaZsa) +1

Gautier
