HelpRe: myth’s Adoption Agency
in reply to a message by myth
Since Silverstarswept never finished hers, I'm going to do the one I was going to use for hers! (Loved this idea, and couldn't let go of it, haha.)
Mother:
Name: Winnie Matilda Alexopoulos (neé Jones).
Age: 37.
Occupation: Entrepreneur.
Short Bio: Winnie started her own business - a real estate agency - at 34, and it has just recently started to skyrocket. She has had fertility issues in the past and doesn't want to become pregnant for fear that she will be high-risk and unable to work. Winnie is focused, logical, passionate, intelligent, and dedicated. She puts work first, but still manages to make time for her family. She was raised Jewish but barely practices.
Father:
Name: Doron Iasos Alexopoulos
Age: 35
Occupation: Stay-At-Home Dad.
Short Bio: Doron and his family emigrated from Greece when he was seven years old. He is an NBA football player, but has decided to retire when they adopt so he can spend as much time with his children as possible and his wife can do what she loves. He is caring, nurturing, humorous, self-sacrificing, clever, and passionate. He is a dedicated Greek Orthodox and attends church every week, and plans to take his children as well (he and his wife have agreed to raise them Greek Orthodox).
Location: The countryside of Maine.
Main Language: English.
Other Languages: Winnie speaks Hebrew and Doron speaks Greek.
Religions: Greek Orthodox, Jewish.
Pets: None.
Anything Else: Winnie has a panic disorder that she takes medication for, as well as minor depression.
Preferred Number: Two.
Preferred Gender: A boy and a girl.
Preferred Age: At least 3.
Preferred Religions: Greek Orthodox.
Preferred Nationalities: None, but they must speak English.
Siblings: Preferred.
Multiples: Yes.
Children with a criminal record: No.
Physically handicapped or mentally handicapped: Physically, yes, mentally, no (Winnie gets very impatient with anybody below her mental capacity and wouldn't be able to connect with them the same way).
Teen parents or pregnant teens: Children with teen parents (assuming the teen parents WON'T BE ADOPTED), yes, pregnant teens, no.
Mentally ill children: They will accept children with any form of anxiety or depression (things Winnie knows how to handle).
Anything else: They would prefer a closed adoption until/unless the children express interest in creating relationships with their biological family. They will accept more than two children if siblings would otherwise be split up, even if they are younger than three.

Meet Annie and Robb
Meet Annie and Robb! Annalise May “Annie” (11) and Robert Bear “Robb” (9) are siblings from Baltimore, Maryland, who have been in our care for about a year now after their parents fell prey to the growing opioid crisis (their mother overdosed and their father is in and out of treatment). Both children have some trust issues from the ordeal and while they have been in our care they have tended to rely on each other rather than let other people in. However, we are sure that they can get past these uncertainties with some counseling and a loving home. They attribute their religion, Greek Orthodoxy, to helping them get through the trials and tribulations life brought them and they both are very devout. Of the pair, Annie is the book-smart, creative one. She loves to read and paint and will sometimes sit still for hours, simply thinking. This tendency to have her head in the clouds has sometimes led her to not accept reality, something which Robb has always tried to protect her from. While he doesn’t have as good of grades in school, he is very smart and down to earth. He enjoys playing sports, especially football (when he first learned that his new dad is an NFL player he thought it was too good to be true but now he’s just extremely excited about it) and basketball, and he likes building stuff in his free time. We think that their traits make them a good fit for your family and we are sure you will love them as much as we do.
Please keep us informed during the children’s transition into your household. We would love to hear from you.

It's been six months since Annie and Robb moved into the Alexopoulos household.
Although Winnie was worried that she would have problems nurturing her maternal gene, she fell in love with Annie and Robb just as quickly as Doron did. Winnie has opened up about her struggles with anxiety to them and not only convinced them to try therapy - which really helped them with their trust issues - but has taught them coping techniques. Winnie has taught Annie to paint to UNDERSTAND and cope with her feeling she rather than escape them, and Doron is teaching Robb how to play football like a professional. Doron and Winnie have decided to homeschool them, figuring that since both of them are home for the most part, they will have more opportunity to teach and be around their children. The transition from two people to four people was surprisingly easy, and everyone is very happy!

Sorry!
I'm really sorry I never finished mine - I kept on putting it off until I felt too bad to go back and finish it! I really need to learn how to manage my time to be honest :P

Oh no, it's totally fine! Sorry if you thought I was being passive-aggressive or anything. I was just commenting on how I was too lazy to think of a new one, haha. I completely get the time-management issues, haha,
