Help[Games] Caro's Adoption CAF - Round 2
Round 1: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/view.php?id=3894265&board=game
So, here is the second round of my new CAF. Two years passed.
Every one got three choices of children that they can adopt, please select only one. Each child comes with his/her birthname. You can either:
- keep the complete name
- keep only one name and change the other
- change the complete name
Only rule is that the child must have one name that comes from the country that the child is adopted from.
You can add a story for the child and how your other children reacted to your new addition to the family, if you like to.

They decided to adopt Olwyn Ceri & Gwenllian Mair, changing their names slightly to Owyn and Gwen, while keeping their middle names.
Tasia and Eleni get along great with Owyn and Gwen, they act like they've been sisters all their lives! The family is very happy with their new additions, and everyone is settling in well.

After adopting Cecile, Morgan and Yumiko decided that they would rather adopt than have kids of their own. They ended up deciding to adopt from the Ukraine next, falling in love with a little girl named Halyna. Two years after adopting Cecile, Halyna came to live with them. She knew her name already, so they decided to just keep it, but they call her Haley on occasion.
Cecile adores having a younger sister, and has so much fun playing with her. Halyna is shy, and only spoke Ukrainian when she came to live with the St. Pierres, but she is quickly picking up French, thanks mostly to how Cecile will chatter away endlessly at her.

Andro's Story
Andro was adopted from Serbia, after being abandoned by his parents as a baby. When Andro first came to live with the Shafirs, he was confused because not only were they not American, but living in America, but they also spoke Hebrew, Spanish, and French, in addition to English. He caught onto all four languages pretty quickly, but would often confuse them together, from example he might be speaking English and adding a Serbian word here and a French one there. Maya and Dan found this pretty funny. Andro does good in school, especially in math. They've already moved him two grades up. He also taught his new parents Serbian.

Leena's story
Leena was born in a little village in Estonia, to an Estonian mother and a Russian father. In her little village, from the time of her birth, everyone hated her father, not because he was mean, vile, or evil, but because he was Russian. When she was a baby, someone smashed their car's window. When she was one, someone burned down their house. Leena's parents feared for her life, so right before her second birthday, they sent her to her grandmother's house, closer to the border, where people were far more tolerant. Her parents hoped to have her return to them when the summer was done (her birthday was in April), but she never ended up returning home. When her mother left and went back to the village, she found that her husband had been shot -by the police! They claimed that he had been caught stealing, but in her heart of hearts, Leena's mother knew her husband would do no such thing. Alone in the world, she decided it was best to go collect her daughter, and then move to the UK or Canada, to forget all her pain. But on the drive back to her mother's house, she got into a car accident and died. No one knows what happened for sure, but the police ruled her responsible. Leena's grandma was heartbroken and died a few days later, after committing suicide, using sleeping pills. Before killing herself, she took Leena over to the neighbors and asked them to care for her. They thought the old lady meant to babysit her, but when she didn't come back after three days, they called the police. The police took the girl and put her into an orphanage where she lived until Maya and Dan adopted her.

Their lives together
The Shafirs decided to adopt again, only after they consulted with their son, Andy. Andy thought it would be awesome to be a big brother. He wanted a little brother from Serbia. Maya and Dan decided that this time they wanted to adopt a younger child.
Andy was disappointed that he got a little sister but he was over that as soon as he laid his eyes on her. The little girl spoke a little bit of English, but mainly Russian and Estonian, so it was a good thing that Maya's grandma had taught her some Russian. The reason Andy liked his sister so much was because she was sweet and he could relate to what she was going through.
Leena had lived in a village so she was stunned by the buildings in Florida and how warm it was.
The Shafirs decided to adopt again, only after they consulted with their son, Andy. Andy thought it would be awesome to be a big brother. He wanted a little brother from Serbia. Maya and Dan decided that this time they wanted to adopt a younger child.

Erika Mihaela Abney
It has been two years since the Abneys adopted Leonhard, and now they are ready to adopt their second child, a baby girl named Bianca Antonescu. They went to visit Bianca in Romania, and knew that she was meant to be adopted by them. Right before they were going to adopt Bianca, the Abneys got a call from Josephine's father, saying that in the time they were gone in Romania, Josephine's mother had died. Josie was heartbroken. However, they went through the adoption process and they changed Bianca's first name to "Erika", to honor Josephine's mother.
Leonhard Ignatz Abney
It has been two years since Leonhard was adopted by the new, strange, American family. In that time, Leo has adjusted quite well. He is getting better grades in school, has made a lot of friends, and almost got elected as class president. He was getting quite used to being an only child, that is, until Erika came into the picture. To tell the truth, he felt a bit jealous that she got all the attention. But he knew that Erika was a baby, and that she probably came from a broken household, as well, so his jealousy died down.

A couple of years after adopting Elias, Joe and Isabel decide it would be good to adopt another child. They decided to go for a younger child so Elias wouldn't feel too threatened. 2 year old Toussaint is from France and was made an orphan after his mother and father died in a tragic road accident. Joe and Isabel thought his name was a bit of a mouthful so they changed it to Timothee. Timothee is a quiet toddler who is beginning to understand some English words, Elias has taken on the role of big brother very well and enjoys caring for little Timothee.
