Username: Array
DH: Thomas Edmond "Tom"
DW: Ellen Melissa
Children: None
Pets: One tabby cat, Django
Place of residence: Aurora, Illinois
Other comments: Tom works as a consultant, and Ellen is a middle school English teacher.--Adoption One--Adoption form:
Name: Maryjane Destiney Clark
Age: 4
Main Heritage: African-American
Reason for adoption: Mother, now age seventeen terminated parental rights; father is unknown.
Personality: Maryjane is quiet most of the time but can throw immense temper tantrums. She desperately needs a stable home in which discipline is fair and consistent. She loves animals and the outdoors and can be very loving.
Description: Maryjane is small for her age, has dark skin and eyes, and wears her hair in cornrows, with extensions that fall to just below her shoulders. She loves dresses and is rarely seen without a cheerful bow in her hair. Her first year of life was spent with her mother (who named her after her favourite drug), and she has been in foster homes ever since.
Type of child: Single child.
Pet(s): None--Adoption Two--Adoption form:
Name: Erika Lynn Hausmann
Age: 15
Main Heritage: The usual Caucasian American mutt.
Reason for adoption: Has lived in various foster homes all her life and now finds herself pregnant. Is hoping to find a family who can help her support her unborn child.
Personality: Erika is a bright girl, but she can be standoffish. She's fascinated by books but has had few opportunities in her life to really pursue that interest. With guidance, boundaries, and love, she will open up to her new parents.
Description: Wavy, shoulder-length hair bleached blonde (originally a light brown colour) and big brown eyes. She's tall and robust--and a good soccer player, due to her build. Erika prefers jeans and a t-shirt to getting dressed up fancily.
Type of child: Pregnant teen
Pet(s): None
--for pregnant teens only:
Gender of unborn child(ren): One, a girl.
Name(s) for unborn child(ren): Middle name must be Lynn after Erika. First name options (all after book characters she likes): Alice, Heaven, Mia, Charlotte, Bridget.--Adoption Three--Adoption form:
Name: Valeriya Sokolova Krupin "Lera"
Age: 8
Main Heritage: Russian
Reason for adoption: Parents gave Lera and her sister, Valya, up to the orphanage when Lera was three and Valya was a newborn. The sisters would be heartbroken if they weren't adopted together.
Personality: Lera is naturally playful and can be outrageously loud. She loves to joke and is a quick learner. She will need to be put in ESL classes when she arrives to her new family, because she doesn't speak more than a few words of English.
Description: Lera has straight, dark, chin-length hair and wide blue eyes. She's small for her age, and thin, with a pointed chin and wide smile.
Type of child: Sibling set, elder sister to Valentina
Pet(s): NoneAdoption form:
Name: Valentina Sokolova Krupin "Valya"
Age: 5
Main Heritage: Russian
Reason for adoption: See above.
Personality: Valya trusts in her elder sister completely and is generally willing to go along with whatever Lera says. She loves arts and crafts and colouring, and would be perfectly satisfied to sit and use crayons all day! Like her sister, she will need to be enrolled in ESL classes.
Description: Her hair is also chin-length and straight, but it is a lighter brown than Lera's. They both have the same big eyes and pointed faces, but Valya's eyebrows tend to furrow into a frown very easily when she's concentrating.
Type of child: Sibling set, younger sister to Valeriya.--Adoption Four--Adoption form:
Name: Michael Joseph Simmons
Age: 17
Main Heritage: The usual Causcasian American mutt.
Reason for adoption: His parents disowned him when he said he wanted to raise his daughter without the help of the mother (who had no interest in child rearing). He needs a family who can help support him and his little girl.
Personality: Around everyone but his daughter, he is very quiet. He's a listener, who takes in information rather than giving it out. His interests are all over the place, from philosophy to football, and he wants to go to college once he's saved the money. His primary interest is the well-being of his daughter, and he will do anything to make sure she has a happy childhood.
Description: Very tall, with broad shoulders, dyed black hair, and light brown eyes, Michael tends to look solemn most of the time.
Type of child: Teenage parent to Sunny.Adoption form:
Name: Sunshine Elysia Simmons "Sunny"
Age: 1
Main Heritage: The usual Caucasian American mutt.
Reason for adoption: See above.
Personality: Her father named her Sunshine in hopes that she would be a bright, cheerful little girl--and she has filled in her name well. Having become the light of her father's life, she will surely charm her adoptive grandparents, too. Sunny loves to be held and talked to; thanks to the way her father has read to her and spoken to her whenever possible, she's beginning to speak.
Description: She has a small crop of light brown hair (the colour her father's would be if it wasn't dyed) and big grey eyes. She's a plump little baby who loves to smile.
Type of child: Daughter of Michael
Pet(s): One stuffed octopus called Charley, whom she carries around constantly. ;)--Adoption Five--Adoption form:
