The Singh-Jimenez Family:
DW: Meera Pranavi Singh (29)
-dFinace(Deceased): Miguel "Mike" Alejandro Jimenez (26)
--DD: Claudia Rajani Singh-Jimenez (3)
--DD: Lola Anjali Singh-Jimenez (1)
After much consideration, Meera decided to adopt a daughter from India. All of her grandparents and her father were born there, so she felt that she wanted to help. She adopted a one year old from India, who had been called Anjali. The baby had dark black hair and dark eyes. She was skinny, but very happy and laughed at everything. Meera named her new daughter Lola, but kept Anjali as her middle name. She chose to make her last name hyphenated as well, mostly because she didn't want her to feel less important than Claudia.
Meera's friends and family were very supportive of her decision. And everyone in the family is quite happy. Lola is adjusting well to life in America, and is now better fed. Claudia likes having a sister, though sometimes she gets a bit jealous.
Meera is content with two children for the moment, but in the future, might wish to have another child, either by adoption or her own. She is finally starting to get over Mike's death and perhaps would consider starting to date again, though she has yet to find the right guy.
