HelpRe: SlytherClaw's Adoption Agency
in reply to a message by myth
Meet Yvonne Ilia and Margaret Lane, siblings from Africa. Yvonne is 6 and Margaret is 15. Their parents were very poor and placed them in the system as their only hope of having a better future, since their parents didn't want them to suffer in their third-world part of the continent. The adoption is closed since their parents have no way of communicating with them. Yvonne loves to read and dance, while Margaret enjoys science and math - especially chemistry and physics. They are atheists and both speak English and Swahili.
Please keep us informed about how they are doing.

Meet the Baharia Family!
DH: Macsen Piers Baharia [35; Mechanical Engineer]
DW: Demelza Rosemary (Overhill) Baharia [36; History and Art Teacher]
DD: Margaret Lane "May" Baharia [18]
DD: Yvonne Ilia Baharia [9]
DS: Thomas Gerallt "Tam" Baharia [6]
Location Cardiff, Wales, UK
Three years have passed since the Baharia family welcomed Margaret and Yvonne into their family, and now everyone is settled in happily. Margaret, who struggled at first with the pronounced Welsh accents and the culture shock, slowly became more sociable, though she still prefers the company of her close friends and family rather than social events. After watching a movie with Margaret "May" as a main character she adopted the nickname, which everyone agrees suits her. She has especially taken to Macsen and they recently completed a solar-powered food synthesizer together. Even though the synthesizer can only make grilled cheese sandwiches so far, the machine is definitely advanced for an eighteen-year old and the family is very proud. May's biggest supporter is her younger sister, Yvonne, now nine. Yvonne is a quiet, bookish girl normally, but her family has seen her reveal some brutally sarcastic humor and everyone has seen her change into an exuberant and lively person whenever she dances. Macsen and Demelza support her passion for the art of dance by constantly introducing new types from different cultures. Having explored over thirty types, Yvonne's favorite dance is from her native Kenya and she is already a passionate advocate for positive change in the country. She hopes one day that her birth parents will be able to access internet so she can regain contact with them. Very close with May, Yvonne doesn't look forward to losing her to college next year, but she loves her parents and her little brother and she can't believe how lucky she is to have them. Macsen and Demelza, looking back three years after the adoption, wouldn't change a thing.
(I chose an African country that fit your description, Kenya, for the sake of the storyline. I hope that's all right.)

I love your continuation of the story. And it's totally fine that you chose Kenya - I was just too lazy to do so, so I'm glad you did. And the machine sounds so cool!
