FAMILY
Parent #1
Name: Mollie Mary Magnuson
Age: 30
Brief bio: Mollie is a trained primary school teacher but has been a full-time mum since the birth of her first baby, Octavia, nearly seven years ago. With her youngest, Tasha, now in full time school, Mollie has begun to dip back into work, privately tutoring children to enhance their English and maths. Mollie has always enjoyed reading and writing - especially Young Adult fiction - and since quitting work to look after her babies has dedicated all of her (sparse) free time to writing novels. Mollie also loves cooking - especially baking and strives to get Octavia and Tasha fully involved in the kitchen - and taking the family's Dachshund-cross, Archie, for walks.
Parent #2
Name: James Presley
Age: 33
Brief bio: James is a university lecturer and works incredibly hard to support his family. Although he has a university where he is based, James often finds himself on the road a lot, undertaking research and training all around the country. Despite his absence, James tries to be a hands-on dad as best he can, he loves football and regularly takes both daughters to local home matches. He also takes them to their swimming classes on a Sunday morning and always treats them to a breakfast or trip to the park afterwards.
Current Children
Names: Octavia Mary Eleanore Presley and Natasha Sapphire Eve Presley
Ages: 6 and 5
Brief bio: Octavia and Tasha are very sweet children, born just 16 months apart, they're very close and do a lot together. Both children are in primary school now and making progress. Octavia is very headstrong and this often gets her into trouble when she refuses to do something because she doesn't see the point in it; she is also very aware of the early cliques developing in her class and tries to be a friend to everyone, standing up for children who can fall foul of bullies. Academically, Octavia is reading well above expectations for her age, she also has a good understanding of measurements such as weighing.
Tash enjoyed school to start with but has struggled with the transition into Year 1 where things have become more structured and formal. She prefers to try things out for herself with practical experiences and doesn't have much stamina to read or write for lengths of time. Like her sister, Tasha has a good grasp of most mathematical concepts and is very scientifically curious.
Both sisters go to swimming lessons and in the past has tried gymnastics, rugby and football - with Mollie and James wanting to give them as many early experiences as possible. Octavia and Tasha are now able to pick one other hobby to continue alongside swimming for a little while and they're currently considering mixed martial arts and gymnastics respectively.
What language does the family speak? The family is monolingual, speaking English.
What religion does the family practice? Neither Mollie nor James practice religion and are raising their daughters similarly.
ADOPTION
Preferred number of children: 1-2 (max 3 if part of a sibling group)
Gender preference: Male [see 'other comments' below]
Age preference: Birth-6yrs
Nationality and/or language preference: N/A
Religion preference: N/A
Will you accept/would you prefer:
--siblings? Yes
--multiples? Yes
--children with disabilities/illnesses? Mollie has worked with children with additional needs and has a nephew with high-functioning autism. The family are willing to take children with emotional, social or behavioural difficulties (such as ADHD) or communication difficulties. The family would also consider a child with more challenging learning needs such as Autism as long as, with support, the child would be able to become mostly-independent and lead their own life.
--pregnant teens/teen parents? No
Other preferences/thoughts/comments:
After two daughters, Mollie and James would love a son or two to balance out their crew. Mollie would willingly take in up to three children especially if they were a large sibling group who would otherwise be split up or placed in long term foster care, she would be willing to take in two boys and a girl or three boys. James meanwhile thinks they should only adopt one child, a son, or two maximum perhaps if they are twins or very close siblings like Octavia and Tasha. Mollie and James both like the idea of adopting older children who are at the "end of the line" but Mollie doesn't want a child older than her oldest - while James doesn't mind. Although it's been a long time since they had babies and toddlers around the house, Mollie isn't adverse to the idea of adopting a young child in need [James isn't too sure as his job keeps him out and about quite a lot and he worries about Mollie having a small child at home on her own].
