(Please note I know nothing about adoption - this is just for fun
You () and your husband () decide you’re going to adopt 12 children. First, you go the normal way. You find an adoption center out in San [name]Francisco[/name], [name]California[/name], and are notified of a 5-month-old baby girl waiting for you, who surprisingly, is yet unnamed. You name her:______.
About a year and a half later, you decide to go with [name]China[/name]. There’s an adoption center in Bejing that says they have a 2 year old girl, [name]Mei[/name]. She doesn’t have a middle name. You decide to keep her name, [name]Mei[/name], as a first or middle name. Her full name is _____.
Your eccentric uncle has been bugging you for some time about Finland, and to get him off your back, you file with an adoption center in [name]Helsinki[/name]. Right away they have a boy on hand, aged 18 months, [name]Petri[/name]. Everyone at the center calls him [name]Pete[/name]. You figure you should keep [name]Petri[/name] or [name]Pete[/name] in his name, either as a first or middle. His full name is ____.
Within three years, you find yourself in Australia. This agency gives you a call even before the baby girl is born. You are able to meet with the mother beforehand. You also get to pick the first name, but the mother has insisted on [name]Ruby[/name] as a middle name. Her full name ends up being _______.
A friend recommends to you an adoption agency in St. Petersburg, [name]Russia[/name]. Within a few months, there is an 18-month-old boy named [name]Fedya[/name]. You feel [name]Fedya[/name] is a bit girly for a boy, so you decide to put it as a middle. This boy’s full name is______.
About a year later, you take a vacation with your husband to the Middle [name]East[/name] for missionary work. You find a two-year-old orphan there by the name of [name]Sarai[/name]. The appropriate paper work is filed, and you get to take her home. Your husband adores the name [name]Sarai[/name], and insists on keeping it as a first name, but giving you power over the middle. Her full name is _______.
While you were in the Middle [name]East[/name], there was a call from a center in northern [name]England[/name]. They have an 8-month-old boy, who, lucky for you, is as yet unnamed. His name is ________.
About 2 years later, your husband and you can’t decide on where to go next: [name]France[/name] or Spain. You decide on [name]Andorra[/name], a little country in the Pyrenees. The orphanage begs you to take [name]Lise[/name], an eight year old girl who will probably never get adopted this old. Of course you accept. It would be cruel to change her first name, but she does not have a middle name. You let her choose her middle name, and she chooses something very French. Her full name is ________.
The next place you go is [name]Ireland[/name], and like Australia, you get to know the mother. She says she likes [name]Keira[/name], and since it is going to be a girl, she asks that it be in there somewhere. You end up naming her _____.
You rather liked adopting an older child, so when you file in Romania about 2 years later, you ask for someone above the age of four. Almost immediately, they find you a nine year old girl, [name]Elisabeta[/name]. Again, you keep [name]Elisabeta[/name] as a first, and let her choose her middle name. She doesn’t know what to choose, so you pick something generic. Her full name is ______.
When you file in [name]Canada[/name] a year later, you also ask for someone above four. You end up with a four year old named [name]Keith[/name]. Your husband hates the name [name]Keith[/name], and as [name]Keith[/name] is a very go-with-the-flow four year old, you decide to put [name]Keith[/name] in the middle. His full name ends up being ________.
Finally, you round off the set three years later with a nine-month-old girl from Greece. Her first name is very Greek, but you rather like the sound of it, so you keep it as a first. Her full name is ______.
