Location: Ireland
Eleri planned on giving birth to her next child just like her sons, but her pregnancy with Odhran was really hard, and the more she thought about it she didn’t want to do it again. She and Vaughn got in contact with an adoption agency last year, and they were just notified of a little girl about to be born who needs a family. They are overjoyed at the news, and are making fast preparations for their daughter. They have already picked out the perfect Irish first name, and they are searching for the right Greek middle name.

Ashton and Sarah have loved their children equally no matter whether they’re biological or adopted. They feel that they can do a lot of good formal those children without families, so they decided to adopt from now on. They recently adopted a two-year-old son locally who is already getting along with their other children fantastically. His first name is his original name (it’s in the US top 20 ranked names for 2014) and his middle name is your choice.

Their new baby daughter they adopted had a long feminine form of a masculine name for her birth name, and it is your choice whether Gabriel and Sydney keep it as part of her name or not.

Thirteen years ago, Thomas and Amy decided to make it official and adopt Erin into their family. They felt that Erin had been the missing puzzle piece, and when she was adopted everything fit together. They decided that they didn’t need any more children, and have enjoyed watching their children grow. Erin turned out to be very bright, and has pursued a career as a lawyer. It’s a very stressful job, and she tended to stop by the local coffee shop for a break. This was where she met her now husband, the owner of the shop. Her husband’s first name is a short form of a Scottish name, and his middle name is anglicized.

After Margaret’s tough pregnancy with Tamsin, both her and Colleen started thinking about the future and whether they wanted to have more children. Although they both said that they wanted more kids, neither of them were enthusiastic about another pregnancy. They decided to contact an adoption agency about a year ago, and brought home their seven-year-old son a couple of months ago. He’s been having a bit of difficulty settling in and has been struggling in school, but his parents are proud to see the improvements he’s been making. Since he was adopted as an older child, Margaret and Colleen kept his original name apart from changing his surname. His first name is a Shakespearian name with a modern feel, and his middle name is your choice.

They gave their son a one-syllable Swedish first name, while they gave their daughter a longer Swedish first name that is not unusual in English-speaking counties.

The years have flown by, and Nadia has become quite the rebellious teen.

Despite all this, Nadia has fallen head over heels for the boyfriend, and, although she would never admit it, hopes to marry him someday. His name comes from classic rock music or the artists that performed it. His middle name was extremely trendy in the early 2000s.
