Family #1: [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_f]Diamond[/name_f] & [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Gail[/name_f] Otten
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] and [name_f]Marcie[/name_f] are having a blast in their new role as parents. They enroll the twins in a small private school. [name_u]Terry[/name_u] is a sweet, affectionate little boy with a bossy streak. He loves dragons, snakes, and creepy ghost stories. [name_f]Nina[/name_f] is bright and spunky and NEVER stops talking. She develops a strong bond with [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], who adores her but finds her overwhelming at times. She loves to dress up and write poems & short stories.
Because of [name_u]Terry[/name_u]'s interest in reptiles and his desire to work with them when he grows up, [name_f]Marcie[/name_f] gets him a pet snake. He gives it an aggressive, tough-sounding name. [name_f]Nina[/name_f] is jealous of her brother’s new pet. She begs and pleads until [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] and [name_f]Marcie[/name_f] agree to add a dog to the family. They fall in love with a [name_f]Collie[/name_f] mix at their local shelter, and name her after a goddess.
Two years after the twins’ adoption, the two decide they want to bring another child into their lives. This time, a 3 year old girl named [name_f]Rachelle[/name_f] grabs their attention. [name_f]Nina[/name_f] is ecstatic to have a little sister! [name_f]Marcie[/name_f] gives her a middle name that unlike [name_f]Nina[/name_f]'s is falling out of use. Like the twins, she will take [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]'s last name.

[name_u]Izzy[/name_u] is settling in with her new family. She is a short, scrawny little thing, and [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] & [name_m]Scott[/name_m] enroll her in archery and martial arts classes to help her build self-confidence. With [name_m]Scott[/name_m] away much of the time due to his job, [name_u]Izzy[/name_u] bonds with [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], who is happy to help her with homework and teach her new things. At school she quickly makes new friends and even attracts the attention of some of the boys in her class.
Growing up in foster homes with lots of other kids, [name_u]Izzy[/name_u] feels strange not having younger children in the house. [name_m]Scott[/name_m] and [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] talk it over and decide they’re ready for the challenge. They adopt an 8 year old girl named [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. She will take [name_m]Scott[/name_m]'s last name and receives two middle names: a 2-syllable name that starts with G, and a 3 syllable name that ends with the letter A.

Family #3: [name_m]Russell[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] & [name_f]Tamara[/name_f] [name_f]Danielle[/name_f] Bischoff
[name_f]Tamara[/name_f] loves her two babies, but parenthood comes with its own hardships. When [name_m]Russell[/name_m] gets a promotion and starts spending more time away from home, she gets a cat to keep her company, and gives him a popular human name. She still puts a lot of effort into maintaining her social ties, although she finds herself organizing more play dates than parties.
After a couple of years back at work, she finds she misses having a baby to take care of. The twins are 4 years old when [name_f]Tamara[/name_f] announces her second pregnancy, a boy this time. She wants his first name to be short and stylish, and [name_m]Russell[/name_m] would like a nature name for the middle.
DS/DD (4): [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Kyle[/name_u] Bischoff (michelle6942) & [name_f]Cressida[/name_f] [name_f]Kristine[/name_f] Bischoff (redvelvet)

After the surprise of little [name_m]Ben[/name_m], [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] and [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] think they’ve adjusted quite well. The baby is a joy to be around; his parents love him to bits. Around the time he is a year old, [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] gets a dog, a beautiful [name_m]German[/name_m] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m], and names him after a popular cartoon character.
[name_m]Anthony[/name_m] and [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] feel like their little family is complete…until [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] is once again pregnant, unplanned, and gives birth to another son. [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] gives him a 2-syllable name that starts with the letter O, and [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] decides on an unusual middle name.

It’s not long after they bring little [name_f]Taliyah[/name_f] home that the happy couple start planning for their second child. Money is tight now that they have a baby to feed, but [name_m]Bernard[/name_m] and [name_f]Laura[/name_f] both have siblings close in age and want the same for their children. [name_m]Bernard[/name_m] picks up a second job (repairing farm equipment) within the next year, and soon they are ready to try for another baby.
[name_f]Taliyah[/name_f] will have a little brother! [name_m]Bernard[/name_m] wants his first name to be an obscure angel’s name from Hebrew myth. For the middle, [name_f]Laura[/name_f] chooses a trendy, popular name.
