Congrats Round 2.
Because I have not been getting online as much these days it may take awhile to post the rounds.
There will be 10 rounds with the last 4 being multi-generation rounds.
All births and genders have been determined using a 12-sided die.
If you want to play, each round, you must write a letter to your parents telling them about their grandchildren and how they are going. This is because I love hearing how different players chose to tell their story.
I will only accept the first 25 players and as we don't currently have 25 players you may still sign up. 18/25 positions have been filled.Links to rounds:

Dear Dad and Mom,We hope things are going better for the two of you now that the whole "Tiny" ordeal is done and over with. Now I hope the two of you have learned your lesson. Why do I feel like the parent lecturing the child instead of the other way around? I guess that comes from being the mother of triplets...The kids miss you both and are growing like little weeds. They are adding new words to their vocabulary and before long Talus suspects they will be saying coffee and ordering cups of it at the cafe, but I know better. And how proud their daddy is of them. He is always taking them to the cafe with him, giving them one on one daddy and me time. It gives me a break while giving them some alone time. We've also enrolled them in a local play group so they can play with other children their own age as well and it is a great thing. How big our babies are getting. Zoe and Bridie are still leading Andrew into trouble and just the other day they got ahold of several markers and now we have a lovely mural in the dining room. Pictures are included of the colourful trio and their masterpiece.There is even more exciting news to tell you two about. Several weeks ago Talus and I found out our application for adoption has been okayed and we were chosen as the new parents of a three year old little boy named Malachy Brannigan. He is the sweetest little boy, so full of love and curiousity and he is now our son. Of course the triplets, at one, don't really understand that they now have big brother but they will understand in time. They see him as someone new.Pictures of Malachy, him and the triplets and a family photo are also included for showing off and admiring.I've got to end now. The kids all have swimming lessons in an hour and it will take me long enough to round everybody up and get the ready and loaded into the van.All our love,
Wink, Talus, Zoe, Bridie, Andrew and MalachyP.S. This time next year you two will have yet another grandbaby to spoil and love. Talus and I are excited and happy though the kids don't understand that mommy is having a baby.

AD: Margaret Brigid "Maggie" [nb]-----------------Dear Mum,Several months ago we started the adoption process with a sweet young lady who felt that she could not care for her child. She decided that Damien, Matty, and I would be the best family for her child. Together, Keelin (the birthmother) and us, we worked to find a good plan for the baby, our new daughter Margaret Brigid Elias, Maggie. She's absolutely beautiful and Keely has been a sweet girl throughout this and plans to stay in contact but also to have distance so that she can live her life and get it in order. You should see how amazing Matty is at being a big brother, oh I love that boy. And I know that you would too, you would love both of them so much.
I will always miss you and will always love you,
Your daughter,

AS: Kieran QuinlanThis round tell them you have decided to adopt a child and have been successful. You have also found out you are pregnant again.Dear Mum,
After three long years of trying to have a baby on our own we've finally come to the realization that adopting a baby is actually our best option. There are thousands of children in the world who need help and though we can't help all of them we can help one. So we've decided to adopt a child from China. Quir is really the one who made me change my mind and realize that we need this, and Myles does to. We need to open our hearts to someone else's child who will be ours.
Love, DeeDear Mum,
Adopting a child is almost harder than having one of your own it seems. But after months of paperwork a child has come to our attention and has opened up to us. He's a little Chinese boy who is fifteen months old and his name now is Kim Sun but we've decided to rename him Kieran Quinlan. We are all so excited about the prospect that he is ours now! We have another son who we've never met. Our own Myles can't wait to be a big brother!
On top of this I have this queer feeling that I'm pregnant again which I know has to be false but I'll go to the doctor anyway.
Love, DeeDear Mum,
Our baby Kieran is more beautiful than I'd ever thought possible! And we all love him so completely as if he'd never been someone else's child. When his daddy came home on the plane he put little Kieran into my arms and my baby clung to me as if he knew I was his mama. Myles is so good with Kieran they are such true brothers.

AD: Teresa Shannon (7)Dear Mama and Dad, it was great seeing you last week back home in Killarney, though it was on such a sad occasion. I still can't believe that Kirsty and Alan died in this horrible accident... I see them both right before me, laughing and smiling, little Tessy in their arms - I can't believe they're dead! Kirsty was my best friend, I knew her since kindergarden... I miss her.
Today Evan and I signed the adoption-papers for Tessy. Everything went well and uncomplicated. As her grandparents are to old to raise a child and I'm her godmother anyway, adopting her was the best thing to do. She seems to be glad to be here, though she's still shocked and sad and angry, of course. Evan and I do our best to help her, but I fear that it'll take a long time until she'll be able to bear her loss.
You see, we're having a hard time right now - but where's darkness there's also light: I'm pregnant again! I found out this morning and I can't wait for Evan to come home from work to tell him the good news. Ok, I have to go, the little ones are waiting for their lunch and tessy will be home from school in a sec, so...
A thousand kisses and hugs,
MagPS: Evan, Tessy, Dan and Amy send their greetings!

Teresa Joyce joined our family a few weeks ago and she's fitting in perfectly.Teresa is a gorgeous girl. She has hair the color of dark chocolate and eyes that are the brightest green in the world. She has pale skin and the most gorgeous smile I've ever seen in my life. She's truly part of our family now.Myles and Teresa are getting on like a house on fire. They always share their toys and play games with each other. It's so cute! I thought Myles mightn't like sharing his games, toys and room but he doesn't mind because he loves Teresa. Well, I better go now Mama and Father. I have to go to work.Love you always,Maya, Spike, Myles and Teresa.

Hope this letter finds you well. It seems that everytime we write, we have another piece of big news to share with you, and once again, it is the same here. Jason and I decided to adopt a baby, and a beautiful little girl has already joined our family. Her name is Margaret Ellen, and we are calling her Maggie. She has light brown hair and gorgeous green eyes. She's an absolute angel, and John adores her.And that's not all there is to tell :-) After deciding to adopt and arranging all of the paperwork, we found out that we're expecting another baby! That's right, I'm pregnant, and another little one will soon be joining our family. We're more than overjoyed and can't wait to meet this newest addition.We're enclosing John and Maggie's first picture together. We'd love for you to meet our little princess and to see how big John has gotten, so hopefully, you'll be able to come out and visit us soon. We love you both very much!With all our love,
Jason, Iris, John, Maggie, and Baby

AS: Fallon O'Casey 1Dearest Mum and Pop,It has been awhile since we last wrote. Pippa loved the dress you sent for her third birthday. We allow her to pick out her own outfits (it promotes individuality, you know), and she enjoys wearing the dress with her rain galoshes and witch hat. She is quite the ball of energy.Usually I don't confide in you items of this nature, but Moon and I had been trying to another baby for about 2 and a half years now. Yes, it is strange... we create Pippy when we aren't even trying, and now when we are, no luck! We really wanted Pip to have a sibling, so we decided to adopt. Fallon was born to a 19 year old girl, Ann O'Casey. Her parents would have rejected her as their daughter if they found out. We found lil Fallon in the orphanage and fell in love with him immediately. Pippy has already taken to him as well.And, something even stranger happened. I got pregnant. Moon and I are ecstatic, ecstatic, ecstatic. Once again, as soon as we stop trying POP! those two lines show up on the test. What a lovely world we live in! I am already enjoying being pregnant. I feel so at peace and happy with this child growing inside of me.Please, I do not think the pictures of lil Fallon do him justice. I would like you to come visit. You have not seen Pippa since her first birthday, and she misses you. I know Moon rubs you the wrong way, but once you get used to his quirks he is very loveable.Love and smooches,
Moon, Rora, Pippy J, Fallon, and our new surprise

Dear Mom and Dad,
All is well here. The triplets are four years old now, and growing up so fast! Matt likes bugs and does all the things little boys normally do. Judy likes to sing and dance. She is certainly the showoff in the family. Becca prefers to hang out by herself, and she is often off wandering in her own little world. We have to keep a tight watch on that one. As you know, we have adopted a little girl from Ireland. Her name is Deirdre Lynch, and she is an adorable one year old girl with flaming curly red hair and a genuine Irish temper. She's already won our hearts, and the triplets seem to like her a lot. Plus there's more! Last night I found out I was pregnant! Pretty soon Deirdre will have to get used to a little one in the house. Love Brigid

AD: Nuala Brigid Curren*Note: I wanted to keep up the tradition of two middle names, so I generated two names and dropped the middle name from the second one. If that's not okay let me know and I'll change it.Dear Mom and Dad,
It's official! The adoption has been finalized and in a few days our new daughter will be coming home with us. I had never given much thought to adoption as an option before, but Merlin has always been very passionate about the subject, being adopted himself. He told me that while he wasn't opposed to having more biological children, he wanted to adopt first. I wasn't sure about it, because I know how stressful and emotionally trying the process can be, but I know it will all be worth it once we finally meet our daughter. We've decided to call her Nuala Brigid Curren. Nuala was Merlin's idea. It wasn't my first choice, but since I got my way when we were naming Indy (and I have yet to live down the fact that I rarely actually call her by the name I chose), it was only fair to let him choose our next child's first name. I've always loved the name Brigid and wanted to call Natalie that, but Merlin vetoed it, so I was very happy when he agreed to it for this baby. We were back and forth on Curren, but finally decided to include it as the second middle name because I wanted to pass my maiden name down somehow.Now, I've saved the most exciting news for last. Just this morning, within two days of finding out that the adoption was final, we found out that I'm pregnant again! That means that in about eight months we'll have a newborn, a ten-month-old, and a not-quite-three-year-old. Needless to say, we're already looking for a bigger house!Will write again soon.
Love,
Cleo

Great news! We applied for adoption and were succesful! We adopted a beautiful five year old girl from Ireland. She is about the same age as Isabel. Majella (that's her name) has red hair and blue-green eyes. Her parents were killed recently in an automobile accident. She really misses them. I've started homeschooling Majella and Isabel together. They are in Kindergarden, but if they keep advancing at this rate, they'll be in first grade in no time! I can't wait until you come and visit, though our schedules keep clashing. Please write back soon,
