HelpRe: SlytherClaw's Adoption Agency
in reply to a message by SlytherClaw
Gonna do my favourite thing again. Gonna distort their story a little, but whatever.
ABOUT THE FAMILY
Parent #1
Full Name: James Buchanan Barnes
Age: 35
Occupation: Retired government agent
Bio: Born in Shelbyville, Indiana and growing up in various parts of the world, James learned a handful of languages and cultures before he joined the military. He based himself in Brooklyn after that and rose in the ranks as part of a special ops team where he eventually became an important government agent working for various classified sectors. He spent years doing undercover tasks and eventually retired about a year ago when he lost his arm due to an accident that happened in the field.
Parent #2
Full Name: Natalia "Natasha" Alianovna Romanova
Age: 32
Occupation: US government agent
Bio: Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, Natasha grew up doing ballet and even danced at the Bolshoi. There, she met and fell in love with undercover agent James Barnes. Not knowing James wasn't the Russian man she originally believed him to be, he was forced to leave her in Russia and continue with his job. However, fate and hearts intertwined as Natalia left ballet a few years ago and moved to the US. She moved to New York and surprisingly met James again. After some initial conflict concerning their past together, the couple got back together. Natalia joined an independent agency doing stealth missions as well and she and James ran a number of missions together or within contact of one another. While James is retired, Natalia is still in the field. However, she does recognize that she and James are ready for something more.
Children (leave blank if none)
Full Name(s):
Age(s):
Bio:
Family language(s): English, Russian, French, German, Romanian and basic conversational in a number of others as the job demands.
Family nationality (or nationalities): James is American (Scottish ancestry) and Natalia is Russian.
Family religion(s): Jewish
Family location: Brooklyn, NYC
ADOPTION
Number preference (maximum 4): Two
Age preference: over age seven only please. They are not equipped to handle babies/toddlers.
Gender preference: any
Nationality preference: any
Language preference: any that we speak fluently (see above)
Religion preference: Judaism or none
Would you accept/prefer:
-siblings? yes
-multiples? yes
-children with disabilities or illnesses? We have a deaf friend so a deaf child would be fine as we know sign language. We are also equipped to handle children with missing limbs or something of that nature as James, himself, has lost his left arm and uses a cybernetic prosthesis. .
-pregnant teenagers? no
-children with teenage parents? no
-an open adoption (communication with birth parents) or closed adoption (parents are not involved because of death, prison, lack of interest, etc.)? We will keep in touch with any parents who will not have a negative influence on the child. (No prison, drugs, abuse, negligence, etc situations.)
Other comments/preferences:
If it is relevant to the child due to possible allergies, fears etc, our family has one cat (named Liho) and one domestic aardvark (named Reznor).
Important:
Due to the nature of the situation of which James lost his arm, he has had counseling and goes to therapy and support groups of PTSD. Also, knowing that there are children who have suffered everything from war-ravaged areas to domestic abuse, we know that there are also children who deal with PTSD. We would not mind taking on a child or children who have to deal with this as we feel as possibly better equipped to handled their situation than some others may be.

Meet Léonie Angelika and Aurik Falken.
Léonie is an 11-year-old girl from France. She was abused by her stepfather until the government received notice and removed her when she was 9 years old. He was jailed and her mother had already died at the hands of her stepfather. She was placed into the adoption system immediately since she had no other relatives who could/were willing to take her. Nobody wanted to adopt her in part because of her age but mostly because of her intense anxiety and PTSD. She has no religion, because she believes that no God would have let her go through what she has gone through. She is very intelligent and inquisitive, but also very hesitant and emotional. She is very afraid to open up and is worried that this family will abuse her, too, but she is also happy to be out of the system. She loves animals and it may be helpful to buy her a therapy animal. She speaks French and English.
Aurik is a 10-year-old boy from Germany. He was in a very bad car accident when he was three, causing the death of his parents and younger sister, as well as the loss of his hearing and his left leg. He was raised by his aunt until he was seven, when she developed a drinking problem and married a man who abused her. The government discovered that as well, and decided to place him in the system as well. He has a prothesis for his left leg, but hearing aids will not help him seeing as he is completely deaf. He wasn't adopted until now because in addition to his physical disabilities, he also has anxiety and minor PTSD (though not as bad as Léonie's). He is also highly intelligent and loves to take apart things and explore, but doesn't always obey orders due to his curiosity. He loves working with his hands and tinkering, and wants to be an inventor someday. He knows German Sign Language and American Sign Language, and can read and write both, but does not speak or read lips.
Please keep us updated about how they are doing, especially because they have significant disabilities that are not always easy to handle.
