DD/DD [3]: [Elva, Estonia]
Location: East London, UK
Mark and Tamsin have adopted three year old identical twin girls from Estonia. The girls were born in Elva and are orphaned since the age of nineteen months when their parents died in a car crash leaving them without any other family. Although they were both sitting in the back seat of the car when their parents died, they came out unhurt and are completely healthy with no recollection of the accident. They are both very active kids and love singing and stuffed animals. They speak Estonian and were taught a few basic English words in the orphanage.
The girls both have Estonian first names and no middle names. Mark and Tamsin are still contemplating whether to keep their first names (http://www.behindthename.com/names/gender/feminine/usage/estonian), if they decide to change their names their first names are literary. For their middle names they choose vintage names that start with a consonant.

Weldon and Carolina have adopted identical newly one year old twin girls via domestic adoption. Their new daughters were born in South Bend, Indiana and given up for adoption straight after birth. They are both completely healthy, curious and lively one year olds who are on the verge of walking alone.
As they are little Weldon and Carolina decided to change their names completely. Their first names start with different letters and so do their middle names. All of their names can be described as Southern.

Zita and Frances have adopted a three year old girl from Somalia. The orphanage in Bargaal is not sure about her exact birth place and birth date of their new daughter as she was found on the steps one morning months ago malnourished. She is a sweet little girl, very quiet and shy. She is slowly gaining weight and doing a lot better health wise compared to the time when she arrived to the orphanage. She can speak only Arabic.
As she is already three years old Zita and Frances are still contemplating whether they want to change her first name which is Arabic. If they change it they want to choose a name after a famous person from history. They however are sure that they'll give their daughter a new middle name that is eccentric.
