For this round it's a mix of adopted and biological children as well as naming instructions, initials or name banks. Feel free to post a short or longer story about your family, how their new children are settling in.

DS [2]: [Sheffield, UK]
Location: East London, UK
There was never a dull moment since Maret and Evelin joined the family, before Mark and Tamsin knew it two years have passed and they felt ready to adopt again. This time they choose domestic adoption and welcomed a two years old boy into their family. He was born in Sheffield and given up for adoption shortly after he turned one. He is very outgoing and loves playing with trains and blocks.
For his first name Mark and Tamsin choose a name from literature. His middle name comes from list below.

DD [2]: [Bogotá, Colombia]
Location: Canada
Two years after welcoming Ellie into their family, Gregor and Édith adopted another little girl. The two year old was born in Bogotá, Colombia. The orphanage couldn't provide any details about the parents of the little girl, but she is a happy and healthy child. Unlike Ellie she is very outgoing and loves people and being around them.
Gregor and Édith decided to keep her first name, which is a Spanish name they happen to love. Her middle name is a popular classic.

Just weeks after welcoming Destiny into their family, Ivy and Ryan found themselves pregnant, with twins. They've welcomed a little sister and brother for Destiny recently, the twins were born three weeks early, but are in perfect health.

DS [3]: Rowan Thanh Roseland [Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam]
Location: Toronto, Canada
Having very positive experience with Rowan's adoption, Adrian and Emma knew straight away that they wanted to adopt more children. It came therefore as no surprise that they adopted a daughter from Ethiopia just a year after welcoming Rowan into their family. Their new daughter is four years old and was born in Awassa. Her mother died during the childbirth and her father gave her up for adoption having already three older children to provide for. Up to few weeks ago she had no personal belongings so she treasures the stuffed bunny that Adrian and Emma brought her and carries it everywhere.
Her given name sounded too complicated for the English speaking world, therefore Adrian and Emma choose a new name which comes from mythology. Her middle name is somewhat uncommon.

With Nathaniel bonding with his new family almost right away, Matthew and Amelia were positive they wanted to add another child into their family soon. Just a year later they bought home a two year old daughter who was born in Croatia, precisely in Stari Grad on the isle Hvar. With her big brown eyes hiding behind thick eyelashes and sweet smile she charmed the whole family. She is a happy two year old who was recently diagnosed with asthma. But let her looks not fool you, she is a little tomboy and is constantly on the move.
Despite her young age Matthew and Amelia decided to keep her first name as a link to her heritage, it comes from the following list (http://www.behindthename.com/top/lists/croatia/2009). Since she had no middle name, they picked a new one for her and it's a name related to nature.

When Brooke and Meg were offered to adopt a then three month old baby girl, they did not hesitate for a second. Their newest daughter was born in New York to a teenage girl, her birth mother was going back and forth but finally decided to give her daughter up for adoption when she was three months old, having a child was a too big responsibility for her. Just a month later the little girl was officially and legally Brooke's and Meg's daughter.
For a while it looked that the little girl was going to be nameless, but just shortly before adoption Meg and Dorothy finally settled on a modern first name for their daughter. Her middle name is a classic.

With Elena settling in well, Alex and Norah did not wait long to adopt another child. Just a year later they welcomed another daughter into their family, the seven year old is a native of Puerto Madryn in Argentina. Compared to Elena, their new daughter is much more outgoing, but has some learning difficulties. Although she was so far not officially diagnosed it is likely that she is suffering from dyslexia, which would explain her problems in school. She is fluent in Spanish and does not speak English at all.
Her birth name is an uncommon Spanish name which their new daughter does not like at all, therefore Alex and Norah let her choose a new first name which is an international name. For her middle name they are still trying to decide whether to keep her birth name or if they'll choose a new middle name for her, if they choose a new middle name it comes from mythology.

It was around three months after Nithya joined the family, when Thurayya and Nagendra unexpectedly adopted again. It was another birth gone wrong that Thurayya witnessed, leaving two newborn boys without a mother and condemning them to a life in orphanage. When she was hovering over the crib that held both infants something was different this time and she knew she wanted to give those two boys a home, luckily Nagendra agreed and the twins joined their family.
Both boys received names that are either Pakistani, Urdu or Arabic.

DS [8]: [Hellerup, Denmark]
Location: Canby, Minnesota
Things have gone rough in the Beckett family once they adopted Atlas. Welcoming a new child that was not easy to handle was not what Alwin and Neila were hoping for. Giving up was not an option in both Alwin and Neila's mind, instead they toughened up and worked hard together with Atlas' therapist. Everything paid off and a year later the Beckett family is a tight tied unit, recently welcoming another son. The eight years old was born in Hellerup, Denmark. He is an easy going boy, who as Atlas loves sports. He used to play handball at his old school.
Alwin and Neila decided to keep the boys first name, which is an uncommon Danish name. His middle name is a word name that starts with a consontant.

With their newest addition to the family Weldon and Carolina made his dream come true, when they adopted a two years old boy who has been born in Florence, South Carolina.

Things have gone rough in the Beckett family once they adopted Atlas. Welcoming a new child that was not easy to handle was not what Alwin and Neila were hoping for. Giving up was not an option in both Alwin and Neila's mind, instead they toughened up and worked hard together with Atlas' therapist. Everything paid off and a year later the Beckett family is a tight tied unit, recently welcoming another son. The eight years old was born in Hellerup, Denmark. He is an easy going boy, who as Atlas loves sports. He used to play handball at his old school.
Alwin and Neila decided to keep the boys first name, which is an uncommon Danish name. His middle name is a word name that starts with a consontant.

Collins and Spencer are now happy three year olds. Except the rare moments when they drive their brother crazy Leland adores his sisters, but as every boy he'd love to have a brother to play with. With their newest addition to the family Weldon and Carolina made his dream come true, when they adopted a two years old boy who has been born in Florence, South Carolina. The little boy had been in the foster care system for a while before he was given free for adoption. Both his biological parents are addicts who were not able to provide for their son.
Their new sons first name is Southern. His middle name comes from the name bank below.

SO1: Zita Lorenza Fabricio
SO2: Frances Myrtle Ayers
DD [6]: Roxana Edith
DD [4]: Zuleika Dido [Bargaal, Somalia]
DD [1]: [Aversa, Italy]
Location: Minneapolis, MN
With Zuleika fully settled in and adored by her older sister, it was clear for Zita and Frances, they wanted to adopt soon again. Their new daughter is a year old and was born in Aversa, Italy. There is nothing known about her birth parents as she was given free for adoption after birth. She is partially deaf and it is yet to be determined whether she is a candidate for cochlear implants.
For their new daughter Zita and Frances choose an eccentric first name. Her middle name is after a famous person from history.
