Lottie and Matt!Please welcome Lottie and Matt, siblings from the United Kingdom. Lottie's full name is Charlotte Grace; Matt's full name is Matthew Thomas. Lottie is 14 and pregnant; we do not yet know the gender. Matt is 10; he is a lovely young man and is very helpful. The siblings both speak fluent English and they are Christian. The reason for Lottie's adoption is that when she became pregnant, her parents just wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible. Matt came with her because he couldn't bare to live with the people who did that to his sister. Lottie and Matt have always wanted to live in the States so they can't wait to meet their new family. Hopefully they will all get on, especially Mason and James because they are the same ages as Lottie and Matt. Please keep us updated about how Lottie is doing with her pregnancy, and how Matt is settling in.

The Harrison family is very pleased to welcome Lottie and Matt into their home! Adeline immediately sympathized with Lottie, and quickly fell to taking care of the young girl. Matt gets along well with James, and the two boys spend all their time together. So far, Lottie is doing well; no complications have arisen and the family is looking forward to meeting the new baby when he/she arrives. Lottie and Matt are also settling in well in church, the members of which accepted them right away. While Lottie did not start school due to her pregnancy, Matt did, and so far he's doing well. It took him a while to get used to the new setup, but he's gotten past that now.

THE MACASLAN-HONEYCUTT FAMILYSeamus Paul MacAslan 37
Seamus grew up the heir of a wealthy family. He was rich and he seemed on the surface to have everything he could ever want, however he felt alone and unloved for most of his childhood. At his boarding school he acted out frequently and he became an immature playboy until he finally met the love of his life, Rosemary, a couple years after college. Once Romy was completely sure he had matured, she allowed their relationship to progress from friends to lovers. Now, years later, Seamus and his love finally married and they live quietly in a cottage near the seaside.Rosemary Eloise "Romy" Honeycutt 36
Romy had in a polar opposite childhood to Seamus. She wasn't wealthy, but she was loved very much by a family that taught her to pursue her dreams. While trying out an apprenticeship with a painter near Seamus's boarding school, the two met up and got to talking. They completely disagreed on most subjects but nevertheless they were intrigued by the other's perspective and continued to meet. Romy was reluctant to start a relationship with someone so immature at first, but she saw that her influence was making her a better man and she felt more comfortable taking that leap. Now Romy is a fairly well renowned artist and she wants to settle into family life.Seamus and Romy both speak English primarily, but Seamus also speaks some French and his knowledge of Latin allows him to understand most other Romance languages to an extent.Neither Seamus or Romy is religious, but they do celebrate major Christian holidays like Christmas and Easter.Due to Seamus's extensive wealth the couple has been able to travel extensively. They have been to all the continents multiple times but they like Scandinavia and India the most as travel destinations.ADOPTION FORMPreferred number of children: 2
Gender preference: No preference.
Age preference: Newborn to age 5.

Esme and Imogen!Please welcome Esme and Imogen, 4 year old twins! The little girls are not religious, but they are young enough to be brought up religious if Romy and Seamus want them to. Their English father ran away when they were born; their French mother brought them up to speak French, but once again they are young enough for Romy and Seamus to teach them English. Esme's middle name is Clover, while Imogen's middle name is Rose. The two girls would be delighted to travel with Seamus and Romy as they have never been anywhere other then France. Please keep us updated of how Esme and Imogen are coping with their sudden change in life.

The MacAslan-Honeycutt FamilySeamus Paul MacAslan 41
Rosemary Eloise "Romy" Honeycutt 40
- Esme Clover MacAslan-Honeycutt 8
- Imogen Rose MacAslan-Honeycutt 8It's been 4 years since Esme and Imogen joined the family as shy little French four year olds and now they've grown into bright, enthusiastic children. After a brief period at the beginning when they clung to each other and distrusted everyone else, they bonded with Seamus because he spoke French with them and when they eventually learned English they bonded with Romy also. The little family has since traveled extensively around Europe, Seamus and Romy trying to teach the girls one thing per place they visit. Esme in particular loves traveling and she tends wander off and explore. It's led to some interesting experiences for herald some awkward explanations for her parents. Imogen's definitely a people person and she tries to help out everyone she can. Everyone loves the both of them and they love their new life. It's everything any of them could have wished for and they couldn't be happier.
