Erin has gotten pregnant twice, but they both ended in miscarriages. After the second miscarriage, Erin found out she suffers from PCOS and can’t have kids without intervention, so she and Abel turned to adoption. Six months later, they brought home a little boy from China, who is now eight years old. In addition, Abel and Erin managed to get pregnant twice through IVF—the first time with identical twin girls and the second with a boy, who’s coming in the next few weeks.

---

Abel and Erin’s adopted son has chosen to adopt a classic English first name, and his middle name is his Chinese given name, which is two characters long and contains “zh” or “ch”.

---

The twins have English first and middle names, and since they’re identical, Erin gave them matching initials.

---

The unborn son has an English first name shared with a famous actor, and his middle name ends in –ian.
