The reason why many of you had such low points in the first round is for a variety of reasons: no pet and no description or small description being among them.
Remember that you will be scored out of ten points in each of the following categories.
1. Names
2. Imagination
3. Description
4. Following Rules
Round #3:
This round takes place three years after the second round. For various reasons, you and your family have decided to adopt a child(ren) from other countries. This time, they may already have nicknames which you will need to incorporate into their final names. (ie: "Annie" into Anastasia) and you will need to give them a middle name as well. Some of you will also have birth children.
For this reason, your relatives have decided to stay a little longer to help you take care of the children. It's a full house now.
Some of you may need to move into a larger house.
Describe life with the children and your relatives, any changes in jobs or your life.
You will most likely need to keep track of your childrens ages because it might come in handy later. Your adopted children may be older or younger than your current children.
For reference:
Average birth weight: 7-9 lb.
Average birth length: 17-20 in.

Congrats on your new son! He has dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. He weighed 9 lb 6 oz and was 22.2 inches long at birth.
My husband, Neil, and I have just bought a new house--and just in time for our new little additions! It's two stories in a small town in Minnesota, and there are several large trees in the back yard. I think it looks like the perfect place to grow up. To make it nice and homey, we bought a little canary, and he lives in a cage in our kitchen and sings. I wanted to call him Orpheus, but Neil wanted him to be William the Conqueror, and I had to admit that was a lot more original than my idea!
He is working at a car dealership and hopes to own his own sometime soon. I am a middle-school English teacher, which is brave of me, if I do say so myself. We're both having fun settling into this new life, especially with our beautiful new son, Benedict Magnus. In choosing his name, we decided to try to come up with something that would fit both our heritages. I'm Catholic, thus Benedict (after St. Benedict), and Neil and his sisters each have a Norwegian middle name, thus Magnus. Right now, we're calling him Benny for short.
We're excited, but a little scared. But I'm sure most new parents feel that way!

Well, a lot has happened!
Zac's sister Ellen and her husband Jacques had their second son, who they named Jean-Jacques and call JJ. He's a great toddler.
Zac and me decided to adopt. I've always thought it was a great idea, and when we heard from a relative who adopted a little girl from China how much she enjoyed it, I finally got Zac convinced.
So we adopted Emmanuel. He is 13 and from Ethiopia. We thought he would be shy, but he is very friendly and open. He is learning English (and French, too) fast. He loves to play soccer. Zac loves going outside to play with Manu. He has found friends who live close to us; they come and hang out with him whenever possible.
Ellen and Jacques have decided to stay with us some more. Of course, with Manu and JJ in the house, there are a lot of people in the house. Zac is thinking of turning the old stable (we don't have horses anymore) into part of the house.

Michaela Abylai, 13; Charlotte Kushikbai, 12; and Emelie Toktasyn, 5 are sisters. They have the beautiful long brown hair, and the most amazingly deep brown eyes. The people at the orphanage couldn't tell us alot about their history, just that they were left on their doorstep when Emelie was an infant.
They have started school here in American and are learning English very fast.
Sonnet has also started "big girl school." She loves her teacher and is showing an interest in art.
Tucker has just started preschool. He says his favorite activity is recess and his least favorite is naptime.
My grandmother is still with us. We decided with the new children, that some extra help would be nice.

Sometime during the lengthy boom of the lizard-breeding industry, a wealthy, euphoric Angus and Rosa decide put their names down for the "emergency adoption" program, which basically finds parents for unexpectedly-orphaned children. Two years later, they've all but forgotten about the adoption program, so imagine their surprise, then, when a social worker suddenly appears on their doorstep and thrusts some official-looking documents on a unsuspecting Louie (who is still living in the nursery with his son Axel). She then leaves as quickly as she came.
According to the documents, Angus and Rosa are now the proud parents of Jose, a two-day-old baby who is living in the special-care unit at the local hospital. Apparently, Jose's biological parents are Mexican, and split up while his mother, Juanita, was still pregnant. Heartbroken, Juanita followed her boyfriend all the way to England, where he was touring with his theatre production. In Brighton, Juanita finally gave birth to her baby, a son. Unfortunately, she lost a lot of blood, and just minutes after the birth, she died. Jose was named after his biological father by hospital staff, but when they contacted Jose Sr, he didn't want to know. And so, young Jose went to the nearest "emergency adoption" parents available; Angus and Rosa.
Going to see the baby, they instantly fall in love with the black-haired, grey-eyed, coffee-coloured little thing. They decide to give Jose the middle name Juan, in honour of his mother. He's still drastically underweight, but seems to be making good progress.
Unfortunately, little Jose's arrival means that their Brighton flat is too small, especially with Louie and Axel still hanging around. After deliberation, they decide to move to Pretzel, Texas. The lizard-breeding business enjoys quite a large profit, according to Angus' sources, and they find a large, three-story, five-bedroom house for a reasonable price. When Jose is out of hospital, they will move there as soon as possible.

When Augustus and Rose were considering adoption they thought they'd end up with a baby, not two ten year olds! However Jake and Mark who are both originally from Poland are fit in into the family well. They both look alike as they are cousins. Jake's parents died when he was young and Mark's were unable to look after him any more. They have both been in care for most of their lives.
The boys have been given English nicknames as Teagan and Alexandra were fining Janek and Marceli difficult to say. Teagan is getting on especially well with them as she is more of a tom boy so they all play ball games together. Alex is being more reserved though she is enjoying helping Mark and Jake learn English.
Dervla is back with the family again as she has decided to take up photography full time and has dropped out of her University course much to Rose and Dervla's parents disapproval. She has decided to stay at the Quinn's until her parents calm down and of course to help out with Jake and Mark. She went on a trip to Poland several years ago, so she can speak a bit of Polish which helps.

James' sister Sarah came with her son, Chris to live with us for a while. Her husband Dean recently died in a carcrash. Chris loves to have other children around, he enjoys playing games with Billy.
We also got us a new pet. It's a Scottish terrier and he was found on the street. He got hit by a car. Because we couldn't find his owners we kept him. We named him Asha. It means 'hope' in sanskrit. We know it's a girls name, but we prounce it like Ashe (Asher without the r).
For this round:
We decided to adopt two little girls from Haiti, Fadnise and Monise.

Gabe and Torra use to share a room together, but since we adopted sweet little Juliet (plus the girls hit it off so well), we decided it would be a nice idea to have them share a room. So lucky ol' Gabe will get his own room to stretch out in for awhile! Haha... But not quite yet! My parents decided to come for a week or two to help the five of us adjust to all of a sudden having TWO toddlers running around as well as get Juliet more comfortable with the grandparents. Leif's parents come by QUITE often, as they live only an hour way (mine live 800+ miles away haha).

He was the only child of an abusive alcholic father and a mother who commited suicide just last year. When he fist came to live with us, six months ago, Leon was a little afraid of James whenever he would raise his voice for anything, he had physical and emotional scars that needed to heal and trust that needed to be built with us before he felt completely at ease. He seems to love having a little brother and we have found that he excells in school and is very good at most sports.
James's sister Moira is still staying with us as she is going back to school and has a been a huge help with the children, she and Leon love playing football (soccer) together in our spacious back yard. The house is a tad crowded but we love it and are planning on building an addition to our house that will have a couple more bedrooms and a larger family room!
Meggie and Elisa just started school this past fall and are really enjoying making new friends and learning. They are currently practicing their parts for a Christmas play at school where Meggie is to star as an angel and Elisa as an elf!

You've adopted a daughter and a son!
So much has happened in the past three years, I hardly know where to begin. Most significantly, our family has grown by two more. We've adopted two children, a boy and a girl, and they've been living with us for a few months now.
Luca and I weren't sure that we wanted to adopt in the first place. It was a few family friends of ours who convinced us. They had adopted a sweet little two-year-old girl from China, and Luca and I got to thinking that perhaps adoption was the right way to go. Our kids were all for the idea and were very excited at the prospect of having an older sibling (Luca and I had agreed to adopt an older child rather than a toddler).
We visited orphanages in Russia and Moldova, and there were two kids who really stood out to us. We didn't want to have to choose between them, so we decided to adopt them both.
Tatiana Elizabeth is thirteen years old. She has beautiful reddish-gold hair and brilliant green eyes. She's been in the Russian orphanage system for her entire life. Officials at the orphanage couldn't tell us much about her, except that her parents had abandoned her by the side of the road when she was a few months old. Tanya, as we call her, is quiet, but she's been breaking more and more out of her shell recently. She loves to be outdoors and is an incredible artist. Tanya doesn't know a lot of English yet, but she's learning quickly. She's also teaching Russian to Euan, Rocco, and Tegan!
Matvey Jude is eight years old, with curly blond hair and brown eyes. We found him in an orphanage in Moldova, where his mother had left him when he was three. He's never met his father. Despite his troubled upbringing, he is a very happy and playful boy. I've never seen a frown on his face. He loves playing with Euan and Rocco in the backyard; the boys are the best of friends already. Matt loves playing sports: his favorites are soccer (he's quite skilled for an eight-year-old, I must say!) and baseball (which Luca and the boys have just introduced to him).

A lot has happened over the last years to us and our family. Luckily Kenji pulled through after being in the car accident that killed his wife. He moved to his old house with his children Ken and Emi, but after having been there for 4 months, he decided he didn't want to live there anymore, because everything kept reminding him of his wife and he felt he had to move on. He also couldn't cope properly with combining his owrk and taking care of the children. We all decided to 'combine forces' and help each other. We sold our house and Kenji sold his and we bought a very big house to live in all together. Ken and Emi were really happy with this because they had missed living with us and being around the other children.
Now it's even better that we are living in a bigger house, because we've adopted two little boys! A two-and-a-half year old from China and a newborn from Guatamala. The Chinese boy didn't have a name yet, so we named him Tai Kenji Edur.

He seems to like her enough but, I think that for him it will take a little getting used to. Caspian recently got promoted to a new posistion in his job. We got a new car (a Hummer2) and a new home! We live in a giant home (almost a mansion) and now we have lots of property. Did I mention we moved to Hawaii? Yes and Caiden (who loves the beach) LOVES Hawaii. We can't wait to see what the future will hold!

It has been quite a while since my last update, and I have so much to share.
First and foremost, our family has grown again! We re so happy to welcome three of the smartest and most beautiful children into our family. It all started about two years ago when Thibault got a chance to go on a trip through Eastern Europe through his university. He and Ronan left early in the summer and were gone for about four weeks. It was difficult being alone with Marta and Tatiana, but I managed somehow, and I was so happy when they returned.
During their trip Thibault and Ronan were fourtunate enough to do service work in some of the poorer sections of the countries. Upon his arrival home all Thibault could talk about were the lovely children he had met. A few weeks later he brought up the idea of adoption and said he already had three perfect children in mind. I was hesitant considering I already had two children under five, I also thought it was just one of his crazy notions, the sporatic kind that quickly fade after a few weeks.

Is it just me, or am I getting old? Either way, it definitely seems this way after a family discussion resulted in the adoption of Janis (full name Jacinthe), a ten year old girl from rural China. With four boys in the house, we all decided that a girl would be a nice addition to the family. Fenella knew an old friend from school called Evelyn who managed a Chinese adoption agency (she is an expat in Beijing), so it made sense to adopt a daughter from there, hence Janis’ arrival.
Janis is ten years old, and is incredibly quiet, peaceful and above all, sweet. Her chin-length thick black hair and dark eyes have attracted quite a lot of good attention when we go out; she is just beautiful. Initially, Marten and I were apprehensive about adopting Janis, as she would have to adapt to a completely new environment from her own, but she is managing just fine. On multiple occasions, her quiet nature has led us into thinking that she was having a substantial amount of difficulty fitting in, but she has assured us that she is doing well.

You've adopted a son and a daughter!
Nick and Ellie are a sweet sibling pair from Russia. Ellie is fourteen and Nick is eleven. They both have brown hair and green eyes.
Our family has grown by two more, though this time, we chose to adopt two beautiful children from Russia. Elisabeth and Nicholas, whom we call Ellie and Nick, are such sweet children who have taken wonderfully to living in our home. They both have brown hair and green eyes. We gave them their middle names, Rachel and Ryan, for my sister and brother.
John and I decided that adoption was the way to go this time around after our friends adopted an 8-year-old girl and her 6-year-old brother from Russia. We heard stories of children living in orphanages, and immediately, they tugged on our hearts. We thought it'd be wonderful to give a child a permanent home and our own children another sibling. We knew immediately, though, when we saw Ellie and Nick that we couldn't separate them. They were both so close and so sweet tha we had to keep them together and bring them both home.
Ellie is a beautiful young lady who is rather quiet and loves to read. She's learning English rapidly and loves school. She's decided that she wants to be a teacher when she grows up, and has already taken on her first student...her little sister, Ariella. And yes, Ellie does consider Ariella to be her little sister. They absolutely adore each other, and Ellie is wonderful with both her and the boys. She can sit for hours and read books to Ariella, who loves to listen and learn. She's even beginning to pick up on some Russian and loves to show off her talent to everyone! :-)
Nick is a handsome young boy, who like his sister, is rather quiet. They've both come out of their shells immensely, though. Nick is also quickly learning English and enjoys school. He's very athletic and especially likes recess-time. Of the two, he's the more outgoing and has made a considerable amount of friends. Travis and Trevor adore him and love to follow him around. Nick doesn't mind too much, yet, but we're wondering how much longer that's going to last :-)

Our family has had a wonderful three years. Two years ago, when Tana was one, Wil and I began looking into international adoption. Since we wanted to adopt siblings, we decided to move into a larger house so that we could adopt siblings of different genders and not be so crowded. Our new house has seven bedrooms and lots of room for the kids and dogs to play. It is quite a bit bigger than we were used to, but now suits us wonderfully. The kids and Wil and I share all the upstairs bedrooms, and Luke gets his own suite downstairs. Below is a picture of our house;

The kids are all doing well. Tana is three years old and goes to preschool two mornings a week. She loves preschool, and can't wait to start Kindergarten in a few years.
