Adoption!

Adoption Game!

How this works: Name the parents (First, middle(s), and last) then pick one of the children below to adopt (Include the number). Follow the name restrictions and name the child. 


Story Line - Your SO and you were married five years ago and have been trying to conceive a child ever since. You have gone to all kinds of specialist and tried all types of treatments but nothing has worked. Tired of all the poking and prodding, the failures, and the heart break of not able to have a child of your own, you both decide that adoption is the best choice. You apply to adopt and in a few months you are matched with a child.

What is your name? What is your So's name? What are your occupations?

How was it to finally met your little one? What was it like to realize that your dream has come true?

Girl 10 - 

Name: Mairéad Iris Beatrix Willoughby "Maisie"
Age: 14 months
Gender: Female
Country: Ireland


The Willoughbys

DH: Rupert Charles "Rue" [23]
DW: Annabel Poppy "Anya" [22]
DD: Mairéad Iris Beatrix "Maisie" [14 months]


To see and hold Mairéad for the first time was amazing. It was a feeling that I cannot explain. I was overjoyed and could hardly believe that it had finally happen, I was a mother at last. We spent a few days in Ireland, bonding with Maisie and exploring the beautiful country. Within a few days I felt as if she was truly mine and had always been mine. Once our trip was over, we flew home with our brand new daughter back to Vancouver, Canada.

epSos.de on Flickr


Country: China
Age: 2 years.
Name Restrictions: First name is from this list. Middle name(s) are literary.
Name: Archer Caspian
Adopted By: The Cumberbatchs, Alice & Benedict. 
This little boy is full of spunk and imagination. Even the simplest items like a box can be turned into an airplane, train, or even a rocket ship, anything to take him away from this place. With his charming personality, he has no difficulties making friends. In a country with a one child policy, he is the rarity, where most Chines couples want and depend on having a son. His appearance on the doorstep when he was a baby, with nothing but a note tied to his foot is still a mystery. He needs a family who will always push him towards his dreams. 





Girl 1 - 


 DVIDSHUB on Flickr. 


Country: Kazakhstan
Age: 
18 months
Name Restrictions: First name means "strong" or "brave".  Middle name(s) are from this list
Name:
Adopted By: The [Surname]s, Kay &.
For more than half of her short life, this sweet little girl has been battling for her life against a rare, yet curable type of cancer. Despite being sick, she's a very good, quiet baby who very rarely cries unless it's for food or a nappy change. She is easy going and extremely lovable  Her parents couldn't afford the expensive medical treatment she needed and was forced to give her up. She needs a family who will fight to give her the best medical treatment possible. 





Penelope Indira Hiddleston - 


Pratham Books on Flickr.


Country: India
Age: 3 years. 

Name Restrictions: First name form this list. Middle name(s) are Hindu. 
Name: The Hiddlestons, Stevie & Thomas.

Adopted By:  Inspired from the womb, she's a tom-boy, really fierce and tough, no one messes with her. The boys don't dare pick on her, or her little friends.  Her parents desperately wanted another boy, in a country where a son is the only insurance against a destitute old age. Unable to afford another mouth to feed, especially one who would be no use to them, they abandoned her on the streets. She needs a family who will never abandon her.

Country: Vietnam 

Age: 3 years.
Name Restrictions: First name is occupational. Middle name(s) are from this list.
Name: Carter Felix

Adopted By:  The Gaisfords, Julia & Sg. James. 
This little guy is very shy and timid. He knows how to self entertain himself and is content to do so. It takes him awhile to warm up to someone, but when he does, he'll cling to that person for ear life. He scares easily, especially loud sounds like thunder and firecrackers. His caretakers seem to think that he was left for long periods of time by himself, more than likely left to cry for days on end in his crib. He needs a family to show him love and affection.





Abigail Juliette Walker -

Country: Nepal
Age: 5 years. 

Name Restrictions: First name from this list. Middle name(s) are from this list.
Name: Abigail Juliette
Adopted By: The Walkers, Ashley & Johnathan. 
This girl is a bundle of giggles. She loves to laugh and make others laugh. She's very silly and fun. Her smiles and laughs are contagious. It's hard not to smile around her. She is the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy politician of the Maoist Party and a prostitute. Not wanting the scandal to get out, he hired someone to kill the woman and drop the child off at the orphanage, unharmed. She needs a family that is fun loving and has a great sense of humor.

Country: Kenya.
Age: 7 months.
Name Restrictions: First name is three syllables. Middle name(s) are from this list
Name: Violet Zara
Adopted By: The [Surname]s, Alena &. 

This princess is very much a girl. She's a little priss who doesn't like to be dirty and cries the moment her nappy is wet or soiled. Orphaned by extreme poverty as a newborn her parents literally starved to death, giving every little bit of food they acquired to their six children. She was separated from her four brothers and one sister, who were taken in by several relatives. Unfortunately no one could take this lovely little girl.

Country: Czech Republic

Age: 4 months
Name Restrictions: First name from this list. Middle name(s) are "blue" themed. 
Name: Gideon Blue
Adopted By:  The [Surname]s, Meagan & Omar.

Squeezable cheeks and big blue eyes make this little boy hard to resist. They capture your attention the very moment you set eyes on him. He loves attention and very much loves to be held. He hates being put down and will cry when he is. The women at the orphanage have spoiled him, which has greatly made up for his teenage mother abandoning him at the doorstep of the orphanage when he was only a couple hours old. He needs a family that will continue to spoil him. 


Tiernan Alastair Hugh Surname - 


tanya_little on Flickr


Country: Ireland
Age: 2 years
Name Restrictions: First name is Gaelic. Middle name(s) from this list.
Name: Tiernan Alastair Hugh
Adopted By: The Turner's, Gabrielle & Aiden.

This fiery little boy is stubborn and has a temper, like most redheads. Having been found emaciated  he loves to eat and has to be told to slow down so he doesn't choke. He has had a rough start to life, taken from his Traveller mother who physically abused him and his three older brothers for years. When they were finally rescued, they were found locked in the cold, dark basement without any lights, beds, or food. He needs a family that will never harm him.

Age: 8 Years.
Name Restrictions: 
First name means "protect". Middle name(s) are from this list.
Name: Riley Alasdair
Adopted By: The Joga's, Kelsie & Avan.

He was orphaned three years ago by an earthquake. His mother died protecting him, her body cocooning him from debris as their house fell around them. His father was killed in the office building he worked at. This boy is thoughtful and kind. Despite everything he's been through, he always put everyone else before himself. He looks after the younger children and are protective of them, a trait obviously inherited from his mother. He needs a family who can protect him. 




Eloise Ruby Lowry - 



Andreas-photography on Flickr.


Country: The United States

Age: 7 years.
Name Restrictions: First name from this list. Middle name(s) color related.
Name: Eloise Ruby

Adopted By: The Lowrys, Samm & Hayden. 
Disability? What disability? In her mind she is just like everyone else and can do anything they can do. Who cares that she has Down Syndrome? She hasn't let it stop her and she's not about to start now. She has a maternal nature to her, especially towards the doll she is always carrying around. She loves babies and is happiest when someone allows her to help with a baby, even if it's a simple thing like giving them a bottle. Her mother gave her up, not wanting to care for a disabled child. She needs a family who will love her for who she is.





Arabella Verity Olivas - 



Laíse Trugilio on Flickr.


Country: Brazil
Age: 6 months.
Name Restrictions: First name has Elle/Ella in it. Middle name(s) are virtues.  
Name: Arabella Verity
Adopted By: The Olivas, 
Carlié & ____.
Curious and adventurous very much describes this little doll to a tee. Every since she started crawling she loves exploring and often gets into things she's not suppose to. Already she's starting to stand on her own and it won't be long until she's walking, and consequentially getting into more stuff. She's definitely a little diva, having a short temper and known for throwing tantrums when she doesn't get her way or is told "no" when she gets into trouble. She needs a family who can give her a safe environment. 





Ezekiel Malachi Chesterson   


configmanager on Flickr

Country: Rwanda
Age: 22 months. 
Name Restrictions: First name is from this list. Middle name(s) are Biblical. 
Name: Ezekiel Malachi 
Adopted By: The Chestersons, Genevieve & Roland.
This little boy is sweet and loves physical contact, whether it be hugs or simply holding someone's hand. What he loves the most, however, is cuddling on someone's lap while they read a book. He's incredibly bright and although he cannot speak (from unknown reasons), he does know how to sign. His parents died from Malaria. It's a wonder that he didn't succumb to the same disease.  He needs a loving, intelligent family to work with his developmental delays. 




Dempsey Maksym Pine



thats on Flickr


Country: Poland
Age: 3 years
Name Restrictions:  First name from this list. Middle name(s) are Polish. 
Name: Dempsey Maksym
Adopted By: The Pines, Casey & Christopher

This little boy breathes, eats, and sleeps soccer. There is nothing else in the world he loves more. He dreams of one day becoming a great, professional soccer player. He's a typical rowdy, little boy who likes to rough house with the other boys. Not surprisingly he's had several trips to the hospital, his most recently trip because of a broken arm from falling out of a tree. Of course he's not going to let that stop him from playing his favorite game! He needs an athletic family who he can play with.  


Girl 8&9 (twins) - 


Oatsandsugar on Flickr


Country: Sri Lanka
Age: 4 years.
Name Restrictions: First names are fictional Princesses. Middle name(s) are from this list.
Adopted By: 
Inseparable is the word that best describes this duo. You never see one without the other. Since they were infants, they've only have had each other to rely on. Because of this it is hard for them to trust other people. They keep to themselves and play with each other, rarely interacting with the other children. One activity they do take a part in with the other children is dress up. They are very girly and love to wear dresses, imagining themselves as royalty. They need a family who will always be there for them. 



Girl 10 - 


 sakechaud

Country: Cambodia
Age: 3
Name Restrictions: First name is classic. Middle name(s) are something Angelina Jolie might use for a girl.
