Full Name: Kancha Sambid Gurung
Age: 37
Occupation: freelance writer
Other facts: Sambid emigrated from Nepal to the United States with his family when he was twelve. He studied at a small school in Maryland, and then got a job in D.C. as a reporter for a news website. It was through this job that he met Janelle, who was an intern at the ACLU. They fell in love and married after dating for eight months. When they decided it was time to have children, Sambid quit the news website and started writing freelance editorials, so he could stay home with them. In his spare time, he likes to study classic literature and cook.
Parent #2
Full Name: Janelle Lakia French
Age: 40
Occupation: lawyer
Other facts: Janelle was born in Annapolis and raised by her father, a mechanic. She knew ever since she was very young that she wanted to be a lawyer. She has a very assertive personality. When she first met Sambid, she was being interviewed by him. They both wanted children, but they decided to wait for a few years after marriage so that Janelle could get a more stable job. She did, as a legal advisor at a large non-profit. Janelle's passions are music-- especially old-school disco!-- and volunteer work.
Children
Full Name: Paras Tendaji French-Gurung
Age(s): 3
Other facts: Paras is a sweet little boy. He was rather fussy as a baby, but now that he's a toddler he's a bit more mellow. He loves to follow his dad around the house while he works. His favorite place is the garden in the backyard. He is very outdoorsy, and extroverted. Janelle and Sambid both agree he would do well with a little brother or sister, but since they waited a while before having him, the doctor advised Janelle not to become pregnant again. They think that adoption would be a great choice for their family.
Family language(s): Sambid is trilingual in Nepali, Dzongkha, and English. Janelle speaks only English, but can understand a little Nepali from what she picked up from Sambid. Sambid is raising Paras to be bilingual in Nepali and English.

ABOUT THE FAMILY
Parent #1
Full Name: Lee Mirabelle Rose (Nee Harrison)
Age: 33
Occupation: Translator (Korean/English)/Part-time at family's restaurant
Other facts: Since a young age Mirabelle had a strong passion for languages: always desiring to follow such career path. German is the first foreign language she engaged in: learning it from her first year in school to her last year in high school. Yet, aged ten she became pen pals with a girl from South Korea (as part of a program her parents signed her up to) and soon admired the language. Studying Korean at University she went on to spend seven years in South Korea (where she happened to meet Chen on a trip back to his home country). After a year's long distant relationship Mirabelle moved back to America where they got married three years ago.
Parent #2
Full Name: Lee Chen Hye
Age: 33
Occupation: Chef
Other facts: Born in Seoul, Chen's family moved to America when he was fifteen years old. Formerly renowned for his vivid personality and endless talking he struggled to adapt to his new lifestyle. Only knowing basic English he was shy and quiet: the transition between his two personalities is clear as he transitions between the language to this day. Chen is middle of three children: having a younger sister Nari Sang and an elder brother Jong Seok. His passion for food stems from his family who currently owns a restaurant specialising in Korea cuisine where he works.
Family language(s): English and Korean.

Here you are!
Congratulations! Please welcome three siblings, two of which are twins. The twins are identical girls named Diana and Sofia. They are 7 and have a younger brother named Eric, who is 5. They are all from Brazil and are fluent in Portuguese. They have middle names; Bruno for Eric, Caroline for Diana, and Miriam for Sofia. When their father was sent to prison for murdering their mother in the night, obviously they were sent to a children's care home. That was when Eric was only 3, and the twins 5. Now, two years later, they can't wait for a family, especially to meet Roman, who is at the perfect age for them. Please let us know how they that are all getting along!

Here you are!
Congratulations! Please welcome Sophia, and 11 year old girl, and her brother Jackson, who is 5. They are both Christian and are English, but lived in Scotland. Their first language is English, and Sophia is also fluent in Scottish. Jackson has recently taken up Spanish as his second language, so Sara and Carsyn will be able to communicate with Sophia and Jackson easily. 2 years ago, the sibling's parents both died in a train crash. Luckily, Jackson and Sophia survived with only minor injuries; Sophia with a broken ankle and Jackson with a few cuts and bruises. Sophia has been a writer since she started school, and she will be able to improve her talent now that she will have an author around the place. Strangely, Jackson seems to be a mini painter, so him and Carsyn will get on perfectly. Sophia's middle name is Emma and Jackson's middle name is Aiden. Please keep us updated with how they are getting on!

Carsyn and Sara are very pleased with Sophia and Jackson! They got along immediately, and Sara loves that Sophia is interested in writing as well. At the moment, they're working together on a children's book. Carsyn is very pleased that Jackson speaks Spanish, and he is working with Jackson on improving his mastery of the language. The two also spend time painting together. The new little family seems to be getting on very well!

Mother: Rumina Hazelle Dubois
Age: 34 years old.
Brief Bio: Rumina is a locally well-known artist who is dedicated both to her craft and to her two children. When they got married, she decided to keep her last name as all her art was signed with her maiden name and didn't want to relinquish that part of her. She is wickedly intelligent, creative, passionate, witty, an avid reader, and an animal lover. She only had one younger sister and vowed that she wanted to raise her kids in a large family-centered environment to give them the childhood she always craved. After having two children, she developed a cyst on her uterus and needed a hysterectomy. She had planned to have more children and was devastated when her plans came crashing down, but soon realized not being able to have biological children didn't mean she couldn't add more to her family and became passionate about adoption.
Father: Augustine Malcolm Caldwell
Age: 39 years old.
Brief Bio: Augustine is a tough looking mechanic and lumberjack with a soft heart. His relaxed personality meshes perfectly with Rumina's uptight, analytical one and even after 11 years, she is still the love of his life. He is intelligent, loving, puts his family first, and has a great sense of humor. He always wanted a big family like the one he himself was raised in, where they saw family members every day. He was less distraught about not being able to have more biological children than Rumina and brought the idea of adoption to her attention in the first place.
Leyenda Melodia Dubois-Caldwell:
Age: 8 years old.
Brief Bio: She is an intelligent introvert who doesn't always choose to speak up but always has something important to say when she does. She is creative like her mother, but chooses to exercise that talent by writing rather than painting. She has a couple close friends who she does everything with and already knows that she wants to be a mother someday. She dotes on her younger brother and can't wait until she is old enough to be a babysitter.

Here you are!
Congratulations! Please welcome Abraham, Adam, Abigail and Alexandra! Abraham and Adam are identical twins and Abigail and Alexandra are identical twins. They are all siblings. The boy's are 2 years old and the girl's are 8 months old. They are from Germany. They all are unreligious, but of course they are only young. Their parents didn't want boys so when Abraham and Adam were born they sent them straight to the children's home. The girls, well, they only wanted one so off they went and were reunited with their siblings. Life will be tough for Rumina and Augustine with 6 children around, but will cope. Thank you very much for offering to take in a group of 4; I thought that Abraham, Adam, Abigail and Alexandra would never be adopted! Please keep us up with the group's status and if Rumina and Augustine can't cope, then don't hesitate to let us know!

Rumina and Augustine were both surprised and overjoyed to learn they were to receive four siblings. At first, it was stressful while everyone adapted to the change, but now, they all live harmoniously. Leyenda has taken on responsibility years beyond her age and loves to spend time and help out with Abraham and Adam, including bathing them, feeding them, and putting them to bed and reading them stories. Kaelan has also learned to help out, and loves playing with Abigail and Alexandra - in fact, he is his mother's go-to helper when she needs someone to watch the girls. Since the four of them are at such a young age, it is likely that all they will remember are the Dubois-Caldwells, but Rumina and Augustine plan to tell them that they are adopted up front. Everyone has bonded so easily, and it was as if they had been born into this family. Rumina and Augustine expected that feelinntocome eventually, but thought it would take a little longer - especially for the children. To show how much they already love their new children, they decided to give their children middle names (since they didn't have any previously) that meant love - Abraham Davis, Adam Darrell, Abigail Davina, and Alexandra Darlene. Abraham and Alexandra are inquisitive, introspective, and intelligent, while Adam and Alexandra are extroverted, goofy, and love to play and explore. Rumina and Augustine are very happy that they finally have the big family they've always dreamed of. In fact, everything has seemed to fall into place - Rumina's new family inspired her with so much joy and creativity that she made some amazing paintings, which were eaten up by the public and gave them a large sum of money - enough for Augustine to quit his job so he could watch the kids and provide Rumina with more time for art. Although having six kids is more difficult, at times, than having two, they are far happier than they have ever been and already couldn't imagine life without them all.

Occupation: Full-time mum / Private tutor / Author
Other facts: 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
Full Name: James Presley
Age: 33
Occupation: University Lecturer
Other facts: James 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
Full Names: Octavia Mary Eleanore Presley and Natasha Sapphire Eve Presley
Ages: 6 and 5
Other facts: 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.

Here you are!
Congratulations! Please welcome 5 year old twin boys from Spain! Octavia and Tasha will be able to communicate with them easily, and so will Mollie and James because Carlos and Felipe have been learning English at their old school in Spain. The fraternal twins' middle names are Henio (for Carlos) and Rio (for Felipe). Both of the twin's parents died on their honeymoon cruise as the boat sank. At that point, Carlos and Felipe were 3, so ever since then they have been living in the children's care home. I am sure that the girls, especially Tasha, will get on wonderfully with the boys. Please keep us informed for a short while about how they are coping with sudden change in their lives.

It has been 12 months since Carlos and Felipe joins the Presleys and they have flourished!
Both children were understandably quiet and unsure when they first came to England; their time in the care home meant they weren't where they should be in their emotional development and they struggled to communicate in either Spanish or English.
But now they're bouncy, happy 6 year old chaps who love school and are making amazing progress. Mollie and James are still super keen for Carlos and Felipe to keep learning Spanish so in addition to the short lessons during schooling, they go to Spanish classes once a week. Alongside Octavia and Tasha, the twins also take up swimming lessons - the first time they've been swimming - and have recently taken up football too.
Octavia and Tasha have taken well to their new brothers, they have gone into Tasha's class at school and she is very proud to tell everybody that they are her brothers while on the playground Octavia is fiercely protective of the quiet, Spanish boys. The school have been amazing in making Carlos and Felipe to feel welcome from putting Spanish labels around the classroom to covering adoption in their PSHE curriculum.
The family is looking forward to many more happy years raising their four beautiful children.

Here you are!
Congratulations! Please welcome Bruce and Belle, two French twins with no middle names. As they are only 3 months old, they can grow up English. The twin's mother died in childbirth, and their father knew that he would not be able to cope with newborns alone. I am sure that Rosa and Alexander with make fantastic parents for the adorable babies. Belle is a very quiet child, so you can't really expect much from her at first. Bruce, on the other hand, is a handful. He is always hungry, so don't think that you will get much sleep. Please keep us updated with the twin's status for a small while as we will want to keep an eye on them.

Alexander and Rosa sure do have their hands full! They've quite forgotten what a full night's sleep is like, but they're delighted nonetheless to be taking care of kids. They've been wondering if it would be ok for them to email the twins' father occasionally, so he can see how his kids are doing?

I am glad that Rosa and Alexander are both enjoying having Belle and Bruce! Of course they will have their hands full, you can't really expect much else. Of course they can email their father. His name is Mathis and this is his email: example@example.com (the email address doesn't really exist, obviously).
