Help[Games] Re: Wait!
in reply to a message by Siân
That's okay! You can edit the story lines however you need to! The options are more to help with a general outline, they don't have to be the whole story! For example, for option 1 your couple could decide to use a surrogate (a sister, friend, stranger, or whatever!) but there were some fertility problems and it took longer than expected, or you could just say they did it and ended up with triplets! Option 2 would be the only one that wouldn't quite work, but you can change it around any way you want to make it work! :)

The Saise-Pascoe Family
UN: Siân
Country: Wales (which I know nothing about, but I like the names.)
LN: Saise-Pascoe
DH: Llywelyn Meredith Wynn (25)
DH: Siôr Enfys (26)
AS: Emrys Roan (5)
AS: Eifion Jac (1)
Disclaimer: I don’t know the popularity of names strictly in Wales. It only seen popularity lists combine Wales with England. So I went back though the Welsh birth announcements that Pie posts on the Opinion Boards every so often and have a list of them to use for the game. The names will mostly come from those.
“I can’t believe we did that,” Siôr breathes as he lies in bed staring at the ceiling. It’s too dark for him to see it.
“Having second thoughts?” Llywelyn asked. Siôr shook his head as if Llywelyn could see it. (He heard it more than anything.)
“No, just shocked that we went through with it.” Siôr replied. “Parenthood seems to foreign. And it‘s scary to think that they‘ll be watching us and checking our backgrounds and everything. I mean, shouldn‘t they do that with biological children too? See if the parents are fit to be parents. I think it would be good.”
Llywelyn laughed lightly. “It would be. I know some people who deserved better homes growing up.”
“Exactly.” Siôr nodded. He curled on his side and faced Llywelyn in the darkness. It was becoming easier to see now. He just watched Llywelyn for a moment in the darkness. “What if the agency doesn’t find us fit for it? What if it‘s too odd of a situation we‘re already in?”
Llywelyn reached and took Siôr’s hand. “Placing anybody in a situation and expecting them to immediately belong is crazy, but you have to give everyone a chance. I‘m sure the agency knows that.”
Siôr gets the feeling they’re talking about more than adoption now, but doesn‘t say anything.

When they were first invited in to meet Emrys, he was playing alone on a carpet in the corner. Plenty of other children were off meeting prospective parents, but little Emrys sat with his back to the wall and a book in his lap. Siôr almost missed him.

Last year the Office of National Statistics produced a separate 'top 100' for England, one for Wales and combined England & Wales one, this was the first time they'd done this (usually they only produced the combined one).
If you go http://tinyurl.com/34q4yqu and click to open the files '2008 Boys'/Girls' Baby Names by country, region and month', the third sheet in each file is a Top 100 for Wales for 2008. The 2009 data isn't out yet.
