Therefore it came as no surprise when two years into their marriage they decided to adopt, from Haiti. They adopted three brothers who are aged 12, 10 and 7.

Spouse1: Lorna Ianthe MacFarland [Irish/Scottish]
Hair: curly, red hair
Eyes: blue eyes
Job: Primary School TeacherSpouse2: Quinton Urien Hanley [Welsh/English]
Hair: straight, auburn hair
Eyes: green eyes
Job: Carpenter Location: Nepal[Although with both Irish and Scottish heritage, Lorna grew up in England. From the age of 12 she knew she wanted to be a teacher and work with children but it wasn't until she was 20 that we realised she also wanted to see the world just as much.
Quin was raised in Wales by his local dad and English mum. He actually wanted to be an actor from a very young age but got into woodwork in his early 20s and started pursuing it as a career.
The pair met when Quin came to England for a weekend to celebrate his cousin's 21st birthday and Lorna was at the party. The pair hit it off. Although he went back to Wales they kept in touch and after meeting a few more times embarked on a long distance relationship. Just a few short months later, Lorna announced she wanted to see the world, she'd got a job with an organisation teaching disadvantaged kids in Nepal. Quin decided to follow her, putting his building skills to good work by helping expand the school and build homes.
We join them as they mark their 2 years in Nepal.]
***Yr1: With 2 years under their belt in Nepal, Lorna and Quin decide it's time to move on to pastures new - they did want to see the world, after all. Lorna gets a job in a South African International School and, being highly skilled in a transferable skill, Quin easily manages to follow, finding a job within days of landing in the new country."Lorna (24) and Quin (26) in South Africa."Yr2: Quin's boss turned out to be a pig! So with his head held high, he tells the man where to shove his job and for the meantime the young couple live off Lorna's teaching wage."Lorna (25) and Quin (27) in South Africa."Yr3: Lorna and Quin attend an important sponsor event at the International School and after some unintended schmoozing, Quin bags himself a contract to commission some unique pieces of artwork for the new reception.
