Help[Games] Re: Bopperlynn's Adoption Agency
in reply to a message by Siân
It's all great. I love to read the forms and see some people's creativity! Reading yours was actually refreshing. This was probably my favorite response to write. (: Sorry for the length.
Please welcome siblings Allegra Juliet and Indigo Willoughby into your family! They are, respectively, 11 and 8 years old. They are very close and the agency has been extensively searching for a family that would adopt both, as to not separate them. Their single mother died six years ago and they have been living with a great aunt. The aunt's health has been quickly deteriorating and she is now is a nursing home, leaving the children with no other living relatives. Their aunt raised them in a gender neutral environment and always encouraged them to follow their heart, wherever it may lead them.
Allegra is going through puberty and has already been noticing girls in the way that most girls notice boys, yet no one has hastened to term her feelings by society's standards. She enjoys a wide variety of hobbies. Some include running track, shopping and hanging out with friends, reading and writing, putting together puzzles and solving word games, dancing, and playing outside. She is very self confident and is really open-minded. She has been scared and confused lately, with her great aunt being admitted to a nursing home and going through foster care, and she could really use someone to talk to, and that person needn't be a professional, just someone who cares. Her little brother is her best friend and they are often together.
Indigo tends to be a bit more reserved and on-guard than his sister. He has few friends and seldom opens up. He looks up to Allegra and tells her everything, and always looks to her first for advice. He is very interested in science and music. He likes to sit outside and night and look at the stars, and he has a vast knowledge of the constellations. He is also very interested in anatomy and physiology: he wants to know what everything in the body is and precisely what it does. He loves to read about different musicians and learn as much as he can about them and how they influenced music. He has an amazing memory and can often recollect most details about something he scanned over just once. He thinks that someday when he is an adult he would like to be a music therapist and help people heal through music, though he isn't sure.
They have a cat they would like to bring. He is a tabby / siamese mix, about two years old, that they rescued.
The children, if your family allowed, would like to keep in contact with their great aunt and possibly visit her in the nursing home on occasions.
Please keep the agency updated on how Allegra and Indigo adjust!

I have put the same request in every adoption game I have ever played. You are the first one to ever indulge me in it. Thank you sincerely. It means more than a simple game.
Hello,
This is Shea reporting in on the status of Allegra and Indigo's settling in. They’ve been here three months now and have really been the light that was missing in the house. I’ve tried to limit my travels so I can be there more for my new family. Hopefully, in time, I can take them with me places, but I feel they should become adjusted to our home before I whisk them off to other parts of the world.
Almost immediately, I noticed more smiles on Finn’s face so I could tell we were headed in the right direction. Finn doesn’t smile so easily without a good reason. She LOVES having another girl in the house. At first, she said she didn’t know how to relate to a girl going through puberty because she’d never been there herself, but a few days later she said it seemed she and Allegra were just going through the same things at different stages of life. She said she didn’t know if that made her just as naive as Allegra about the situations, but I told her it probably made her easier to talk to. I figure she can relate better having been there recently as opposed to a parent who hasn’t been there in decades. I hope I’m right, but really, I have no idea. That in itself is kind of terrifying, but I think we‘re all handling it okay so far.
Finn took her shopping for some clothes for the summer and to just to give them time together. I figure that once I find out a bit more about what clothing she prefers, I’ll make her a few pieces in my next line. Until then, I just ordered her a few track jerseys in colours she seems to buy a lot of. I go running every morning and I started to offer to let her go running with me only a few days after she’d arrived, but she didn’t take me up on the offer until just this past Tuesday. That’s when I knew it was time to write to you and tell you how well she had settled. It seemed like a milestone.
