Odhran is out of college and living on his own for the first time. He decided to take a short to Paris a couple weeks ago, which has turned into an almost permanent situation as he met his new girlfriend there. She grew up in Spain, where her mother was from, and moved to France as a teen because her father wanted to be nearer to his family and where he grew up. Her first name is Spanish, her middle name is French and so is her last name.

Round 4: Now that Ashton and Sarah’s kids are getting to be preteens, they decided it was a good time to adopt again. They recently brought home a baby boy from Nigeria whose birth name was Azubuike. Ashton and Sarah decided to keep his birth name as his middle name and gave him a traditional first name.
Round 5: Lexie, who will be starting high school this fall, is turning into quite the typical teen. She’s taken to spending most of her time at the mall shopping with her friends. Ashto and Sarah worry that she’s spending too much, but they did find it useful when she was able to furnish a whole nursery for her new sister with stuff she had bought. Ashton and Sarah adopted a baby girl locally and brought her home last week. The first name they gave her is your choice, and her middle name, her original name, is very trendy now.
Round 6: Lexie is just out of high school and she’s already moved in with her boyfriend of three years. Both of them have decided to forgo college for now, and are enjoying spending their free time together. Her boyfriend has a modern Spanish first name, a classic English middle name, and a Spanish last name.

Round 6: Bethari and her boyfriend got married right after high school, much to their parent’s dismay. They are now proud and defiant parents to a baby boy.
