HelpAdoption Congrats - Signups
This Congrats game will be a multi-round twist on the Adoption Agency name game. Based on the information provided in your signup, I will provide bio descriptions of the new additions to your family as well as naming rules. Writing about the new children's transitions into the household is encouraged but not required.
I intend for this game to last for 5 rounds, and due to the customized nature of it, updates may take a few days. If your family has adopted their maximum number of preferred children but you would like to keep participating, I will link this signup form in future rounds so that you may fill it out for a new family.

Full name - Leonard Walter Sommerhoff 'Len'
Age - 42
Occupation - Divorce lawyer
Hobbies - Gardening, cooking, fishing
Bio - Lens grandparents came to America from Germany after WWII, and he was raised with their strict work ethic and the knowledge that he was lucky to be born in 'the land of opportunity', and that as the oldest of his siblings he was expected to set an example. When he was younger he did as they said, getting rather good grades in school and getting into Yale, but instead of corporate law like his family wanted he decided to become a divorce lawyer instead. His grandparents were quite upset, but having grown up around his own parents constant fighting he wanted to help couples split as amicably as possible. Sadly, he repeated some of his parents mistakes with his first wife [Jessica Mueller], but he recognized when it was going poorly and, when Jess refused to go to couples therapy because she hated therapists he started the divorce proceedings.
He and Evie met several years later through a mutual friend, and he knew as soon as he saw her coo over his vegetable garden that he wanted to marry her.
Full name - Evelyn Rosalie [Pfenning] Sommerhoff 'Evie'
Age - 40
Occupation - Romance novelist
Hobbies - Writing, baking, gardening
Bio - The first in her family to be born in America, Evie always felt a bit of a disconnect from her older siblings and she coped by throwing herself into books, and telling stories to her younger siblings once they came along. Her parents frequently rolled their eyes, but they encouraged their daughter as best they could - buying her her first leather-bound journal at nine years old for her own stories. Her older sister often teased her for having her head in the clouds, saying that she was never going to find someone to marry her if she was too in love with fictional characters to look in front of her. She did manage to fall in love though, and she married Rodney Blair when she was 25.
The couple wanted children dearly, and tried for seven years until Rodney said he couldn't take it anymore.
