THE ELIOT-WELLCROFT FAMILY
Jackin Barnaby Wellcroft-Devereux 26, Historian
Jackin is just the latest in a long line of historians. His parents and grandparents before him were well known in the profession and he has always felt a certain burden to be as great as they were. However, he never really took interest in the typical wars and feuds that riddle history’s depths. Instead, he prefers to research the family dynamic, especially with adoption, through medical times. He is excited to adopt and join the ranks of ordinary citizens who decided to take on the role of parents and make room in their hearts and homes for children desperately in need of a home.
Three Hobbies: Jogging, Painting, Traveling
Three Character Traits: Introverted, Empathetic, Dedicated
Katherine May Eliot-Wellcroft 31, Interior Designer
After a whirlwind romance with her first college sweetheart left her broken hearted and three months pregnant, people who didn’t know Kat well might have thought she would develop a more negative outlook on life. How wrong would they have been! Kat bounced back from that setback, welcoming her son Peregrine with a cheerful attitude and all the verve of someone who thinks they have fate on their side. Now an interior designer, Kat loves her job and coming home (often with a fresh bouquet of wildflowers in hand) to a wonderful new husband and a loving son.
Three Hobbies: Sculpting, Painting, Traveling
Three Character Traits: Creative, Excitable, Stubborn
Peregrine Salvador “Pip” Eliot-Wellcroft 11, Middle School Student
Pip has grown up doted by his mother but also very aware of his unusual position, having a very young single mother. He started helping around the house as much as he could when he was quite young and he has learned to be supportive of his mother whenever possible, especially when it comes to dating. Kat was very nervous to commit to a relationship with Jackin at first, but Pip expressed his support and convinced her to follow her heart. He was overjoyed when his parents told him they were thinking of adopting and looks forward to taking the role of big brother.

ADOPTION PROFILE
Domestic or international adoption? International. They don’t have a strong preference, but are leaning towards children from India, Africa, and South and Central America. Also, they would be open to taking in a refugee child. They would prefer if the children are from different countries.
Open or closed adoption? They’re open to either but are leaning towards a closed adoption.
Preferred Number of Children: 4.
Age Preference: They’ll be open to children 3 years old up through 10 years old and would prefer to have at least one younger (3-5) child and one older (8-10) child.
Gender Preference: They would like at least one of each gender.
Would the family be willing to adopt
—siblings? Yes. They would like to adopt two siblings but would prefer the other two children are not related to one another or the sibling pair.
—twins or triplets? Yes. They would like it if the sibling pair was a pair of twins.
—pregnant teen mothers? They are willing to make an exception to the 10 and under rule if a teen mother really needs a home, especially if said mother has a younger sibling 10 and under and the two would be the desired sibling pair. Also, in that case they would only want 2 other children because 4 children plus a baby would be too much.
—teen mothers with children? Yes, see response above. They would also be open to adopting teen fathers if they were the caregivers to their children.
—children with allergies? Yes.
—children with disabilities? Yes, minor disabilities would be accepted but not preferred. They would also like to limit the disabled children to one or two, as too many would be difficult to deal with.
—children with illnesses? If the illness is possibly fatal, no. Minor curable illnesses are acceptable.
Other Relevant Requests: They would prefer the children are not devout religious and if they are able to speak a little bit of English, especially if they are older.
