Help[Games] Astronomicon's Adoption Congrats Sign-up
Basically, I wanted to do a Congrats.
This is a sign-up Congrats for obvious reasons, although I may take sign-ups for a few more rounds. It's got an adoption theme, so each round your family will welcome at least one new adopted child and (if desired) biological child or adopted pet. Each new family member will be tailored to how you fill in the following form, and I'll include naming guidelines on how to name them - they might be a namebank, rules, initials, I'll mix it up.
If you're interested in playing, please sign up below! I won't be dropping anyone for not keeping up with rounds, so you can play at your own pace - but if you decide you don't want/have time to continue, please let me know all the same.
I know the form is very long and clunky, but it'll make it easier to personalise the game! :)
Be creative and I hope you have fun! :)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Family information:
SO1:
SO2:
Location:
Pick 3-6 words to describe their naming style: (modern, international, literary etc)
Additional info: Optional. Anything not mentioned. Ethnicity, background, jobs, languages spoken, religion or anything else you want to say about the SOs can be written here.
Adoption information
1) What age ranges do they want the children to be?
2) Whereabouts in the world do they want to adopt from?
3) Would they adopt multiples (twins/triplets/etc)?
4) Would they adopt children with health issues?
5) Is religion/language important? Would they adopt children who don't currently speak their language? If they hold a particular religious belief (or are atheist/secular), would they adopt children from outside that background?
6) Are they hoping to have their own biological children?
7) Do they have a preference of gender?
8) Other considerations: Optional. Any other information which doesn't fit above - would they like to foster as well as / rather than adopt? Would they foster/adopt pregnant teens? Are they fond of any humanitarian causes which might influence how they adopt?
They can also adopt pets. Would they like to adopt a pet? How many, and what species do they prefer?
-------------------------------------------------------------
There are no rules, really. Be creative. However, if you have any questions, have a look at my example reply or post below or send me a message.

Am I too late?
Father: Henry Sean Hoffman AKA Hank
Mother: Bridget Lillian Hoffman, née Stone
Location: Dayton, Pennsylvania
Name info: trendy, common, not unisex, and classy.
Additional info:
Hank and Bridget aren't what you call "kind-hearted"- living in a suburban, snobbish town has made them experts at following trends. The car, the house, the garden, their parties, behaviors, and jobs (Hank's a defense attorney at a fancy law firm, and Bridget's the secretary for a prominent company). The only thing they don't have is a child, because Bridget's not able to have kids. Embarrassed by their friends gossiping about them because of this, they have resorted to adopt a child. They live in an almost all white town (the Hoffmans are no exception) and though they go to church, they only do so because the rest of the town goes.
Age range of child: they want the kid to adjust easily, so an infant to three years old would be preferred.
Parts of the world the child is from: they don't really care where the kid is from, so anywhere is preferred.
Multiples or no: two children would be the limit, preferably a boy and a girl. But singles are also fine.
Health issues or no- Hank and Bridget want the process to be easy, so health issues would be difficult for them to handle.
Religion and languages- the child will be quite young so they can teach the child English, their beliefs, and American culture without a fuss. Hank and Bridget only know English, so an English speaking child would be their preference.
Biological children: they would rather have their own, but adoption is all they have.

Here you go!
Father: Henry Sean Hoffman AKA Hank
Mother: Bridget Lillian Hoffman, née Stone
Location: Dayton, Pennsylvania
--DD: [1][Częstochowa, Poland]
Hank and Bridget have adopted a little girl from Poland. Their new daughter is one year old and comes from Częstochowa in Poland. Little is known about her background, as she was abandoned in the orphanage.
Her birth name is a name which is used both in Poland and English-speaking countries. Since it isn't ultra-Polish and they actually kind of like it, they've decided to keep it as her middle name. Her first name comes from the top 20 for the US in 2014 (http://www.behindthename.com/top/lists/united-states/2014/100).

DH1: [42] Romolo Hadrian "Rome" (Brocklehurst) Brocklehurst-Pandev
DH2: [36] Joakim Roland "Jack" (Pandev) Brocklehurst-Pandev
Location: British Columbia, Canada
Pick 3-6 words to describe their naming style: classical (Latin/Greek, Biblical/Judeo-Christian Legend), quirky, historic, fannish (inspired by or taken from popular culture, especially sci-fi and fantasy), dgaf
Additional info:
-- Jack is the son of a Macedonian father and a French-Canadian mother; Rome is the son of an English-Canadian father and an Italian mother. Both were born in and grew up in Canada, so both learned some French in school as well as a bit of American Sign Language (French and ASL being parts of the standard Canadian elementary curriculum, at least in British Columbia). Rome spent several summers in Italy visiting his mother's family, and thus speaks passable Italian (these trips also helped cement his nickname); he dropped French after grade nine and only considers himself bilingual (English/Italian). Jack's mother taught him Québécois French from a young age and his father taught him Macedonian, so he is essentially trilingual (English/French/Macedonian). Jack also knows a few words in Japanese that he picked up by watching subtitled anime.
-- Jack was raised in Eastern Orthodox Christianity by his father (his mother was agnostic and irreligious); Rome was raised Roman Catholic by both parents. Rome and Jack were married by a marriage commissioner who incorporated aspects from both religious traditions into the ceremony at their request. As a couple, they do not currently attend religious services except for some holidays.
-- Jack is a officer with the RCMP; Rome is a construction foreman.

Rome spent several summers in Italy visiting his mother's family, and thus speaks passable Italian (these trips also helped cement his nickname); he dropped French after grade nine and only considers himself bilingual (English/Italian). Jack's mother taught him Québécois French from a young age and his father taught him Macedonian, so he is essentially trilingual (English/French/Macedonian). Jack also knows a few words in Japanese that he picked up by watching subtitled anime.
-- Jack was raised in Eastern Orthodox Christianity by his father (his mother was agnostic and irreligious); Rome was raised Roman Catholic by both parents. Rome and Jack were married by a marriage commissioner who incorporated aspects from both religious traditions into the ceremony at their request. As a couple, they do not currently attend religious services except for some holidays.
-- Jack is a officer with the RCMP; Rome is a construction foreman.

DH: Logan Matthew Cooke (34)
DW: Rowena Diane [Moore] Cooke (29)
Location: San Diego, CA
Pick 3-6 words to describe their naming style: literary, classic, unique, Biblical
Additional info: Logan was raised in a strict Catholic family. Rowena came from a more laid-back non-denominational Christian family. They both now attend a Catholic church (but promise not to be as strict as Logan's parents). Rowena is African-American and her parents divorced when she was ten years old. She lived with her mother but still saw her father every other weekend. Logan owns and runs a nerd-themed coffee/comic shop. Rowena works as a part-time nurse. Logan is fairly fluent in Spanish, having taken it for several years.
Adoption information
1) What age ranges do they want the children to be? newborn to ten
2) Whereabouts in the world do they want to adopt from? anywhere, children of all races and genders are accepted
3) Would they adopt multiples (twins/triplets/etc)? yes
4) Would they adopt children with health issues? yes, but nothing too severe if there are several with health issues
5) Is religion/language important? Would they adopt children who don't currently speak their language? If they hold a particular religious belief (or are atheist/secular), would they adopt children from outside that background? religion isn't the most important but it is still fairly important for them and therefore they would prefer children with that background but it really isn't THAT important to them... they would be glad to adopt children with no English experience...
6) Are they hoping to have their own biological children? yes, a few
7) Do they have a preference of gender? nope, anyone is accepted
8) Other considerations: fostering is perfectly fine with them... pregnant teens as foster children would be fine (again, no adoptions over ten preferable)
They can also adopt pets. Would they like to adopt a pet? How many, and what species do they prefer? pets would be great! no more than three... cats/dogs preferable but anything other than reptiles acceptable

Pick 3-6 words to describe their naming style: Unusual yet legitimate, Astronomy, Medieval, Shakespearian, Mythology
Mac and Castor both have a passion for languages—it's actually the reason why they met—and between them they speak French, Spanish, Dutch, German, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Polish, Mandarin, Hindi, and Arabic almost fluently. Mac made a fortune in tech and stocks very early on, and looks forward to being a stay-at-home dad and letting his money do his work for him. He also enjoys photography and does some of that as a side job. Castor is an architect. He's designed quite a few buildings, including their house.
Adoption information
1) Age ranges? Mac and Castor plan to adopt an older child first and work their way into younger children and babies.
2) Adoption locations? They are open to adopting from anywhere with a slight preference to adopting locally.
3) Multiples? Those are fine, though they don't want any higher numbers than triplets.
4) Health issues? Mac and Castor have the money to pay for any hospital treatments and the like, so they'll take children with health issues as long as the problems are fixable.
5) Languages? Religions? For convenience sake, they would rather adopt kids who speak one of the languages they do. Since they're atheist they would rather not adopt children with strong religious leanings.
6) Biological children? No.
7) Gender Preference? None.
8) Other? I'm not entirely sure what the difference between fostering and adopting is, but they are open to fostering as well. They would also accept pregnant teens or teens with small children to adopt/foster.
They are thinking about adopting a dog when they have a couple of children. They love most breeds, but dislike the yappy kinds.
