Adoptive parent/s: Melerakki and Adan(( Freezing Summer ))
Why should they be chosen to be the adoptive parents? What makes them ideally suited for taking care of this child?: Although Melerakki is usually out doing work at her Circus job, Adan is a stay at home mom who takes care of their kid myr all the time with as much effort as she can. Mel does as much as she can to support the family with her job. They both care dearly about their only child, and only want the best for her. Adan thinks that adding another child to the family would make Myr, Mel, and herself happy. She would be very happy by filling her day up with happy times and making memories with the small family they have. Even if myr would be a lil grump butt at first, Adan and Mel can already tell that she would be very excited after warming up to the idea of having a sibling. But, they wouldn't get any "special" attention unless they are a bit younger, they will be just like a good piece of the family.

This child's adoptive parents/Why should they be chosen to be the adoptive parents? :

Cassiopeia Alexandria Leigh

"Even though you are shy, you can do great things. You are unique, you are different, You are beautiful."

Cassi would be great mother figure for this plumie because Cassi always has always cared for others, yet she'd find herself giving more and more of herself to this special little one. Living with Cassi would mean getting spoiled with little gifts and trinkets all year round. If she sees something the little one would like, nine times out of ten she'll buy it, just to see them smile. Cassi often times works from home, and she lives alone, so it gets lonely at times, even when Zeus is around to show that there is some kind of living entity in the house. Even though she loves her cat to death, Cassi would love to have a child of her own, and would love to adopt a beautiful little child just so that they could have a home to call their own. Due to the plumie's shyness issue, Cassi wouldn't dare let them meet her friends until they were absolutely ready for any other company to be around besides her and Zeus, because she knows how over bearing her friends can be. Living with Cassi would mean lots of supportive words, and constant praise for good deeds. Of course, Cassi doesn't have much of an abrasive side, which means she might find herself forgiving the little plumie for causing trouble, and then gently telling them to not do it again.

Cassiopeia would have another plumie to show the stars to, if the little plumie would even be remotely interested of the endless little stars that she herself loves so much. Cassi would try to often take this little one to her special stargazing spot next to the secluded little home in the forest she owns, which she currently doesn't know if it's even remotely good enough to raise a child of her own in.

Of course, Cassi isn't perfect, she's bound to make a few mistakes, just like any other mother. But all Cassi would want is a bond with them, one that she herself never had with her mother, one that would make her feel like mother instead of a friend or an enemy. Like any mother, she would love this shy little plumie and show them that even though you are shy, you can still do great things. Cassi would show her kindness comes in all shapes, sizes and colors, and if you want to receive kindness, you must first be kind to others.

"I don't see the point in calling yourself worthless, you're perfect in every way fathomable."

══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

How They Meet;

Our story starts five whole years ago, before Cassiopeia met the love of her life, Rainer, and before she ever thought about adoption.

Her home seemed lonely, being her primary work space, Cassi wanted someone to fill the void, someone to talk to while she worked quietly, someone who could make her happy in her new home. The young college student had never thought of the adoption process before, until her friend Edwin introduced it to her, seeing as he was an adopted child himself. Cassi never gave it any hesitation, she wanted to adopt a child of her own,

she wanted to give a child the life she never had.

Not one full of spoiled treats or no rules (of course that would be included), but one full of love. Cassi never had love in her life, with the exception of her cat Zeus, but he’d give her up in an instant for a bowl of wet cat food. Yes, Cassi wanted a love that only a child could bring, and she was certain that bringing a child into her home would make her the happiest. She called off of work at the observatory, really the only week of the month that she worked at the lab, to take visit to the local orphanage, just to look around for now. Of course, she had to make an appointment on the day she went into work, but Cassi didn’t mind, she just wanted to meet one of the sweet little children.

And of course, the staff and environment were very friendly, which overall boosted her confidence in the long run. Cassi enjoyed playing with all of the kids, they were very nice to her, and they often talked to her about what they wanted to do when they grew up, what her job was, and if she wanted to play with them. Cassi answered all of these questions happily, seeing this as the perfect chance to get to know every body. She played with a little male plumie named Chip for most of the time, who she found was going to be adopted soon by two other plumies who were looking for a child to call their own. This little fact warmed Cassi’s heart, but his excitement made it melt into mush. She found all of these little guys to be so happy and cute, who would ever dream of giving them up?

A while later, while she was playing with another little plumie, Cassi had foolishly stumbled and tripped, scattering a 64-pack of Crayola crayons every where. Of course, the little one had gotten a laugh out of it, but after that they all helped out in picking them up with her. While they were picking them up, Cassi seemed to noticed that they wouldn’t go near one room, and that most of the kids seemed nervous when they walked by the door. This made Cassi kind of confused, and she wanted to investigate. Creeping towards the door, she gently put her paw on it, but before she spoke, a whole band of children called from behind her.

“Cassi, I wouldn’t go in there if I were you!”

Chip was the first to speak, she almost immediately recognized his voice. She turned her head to meet the rest of the childrens’ eyes, a concerned look in her eyes. “Why not little ones? It’s just a room, there is nothing to be afraid of.” she calmly stated, lowering her head to meet their height. Tiny gasps filled the air, followed by a string of protests.

“No Cassi, not the room! It’s what’s in the room!”

“Don’t go in there, it’ll be mean to you!”

“Yeah, It’ll eat you alive!”

Cassi a chuckle out of some of their protests, but to most her reaction was confused…What was it? Cassi stepped closer to the group of children, a smile forming on her lips in warmth, “They? What do you mean by ‘they’? Is it another child? That doesn’t seem very nice, now does it?” she said, leaning her head down once more to meet Chip’s gaze.

Chip looked at her, a bewildered look on his face, “B-But you don’t know them! Well…Technically we don’t either, they don’t ever show their faces outside of their room, not even for breakfast, snack, or even diner! All we know is that when we try to make friends, they’ll say something mean to us and tell us to go away!” he chirped, shrinking down a bit.

Cassi blinked at him, her blue eyes unwavering from his face, “Well, maybe I could try? I’ll be fine, I promise!” she assured them, turning back towards the door, before anyone could protest against her.

She put her paw on the door, turning the knob and opening it slightly, hearing the door creak slightly, sending chills down her spine. The room was completely dark, dimly lit with a few strings of vintage string lights here and there. There were everything else a bedroom would have, except for the numerous paintings and colorful array of pictures that lined the walls. A small blanket fort sat on the bed, illuminated by a light a bit brighter than the string lights. Cassi bit the inside of her cheek as she saw a figure inside of the tent, it's ears pricked as if it was trying to find out who came in solely by listening to her footsteps. She lowered her head, creeping a bit closer, but before she could, a voice stopped her.

"Go away."

The statement was rather simple, and the straightforwardness of it had enough surprise to knock someone off of their feet. Cassi blinked, taking a step forward once more, and the voice spoke again.


"What part is so hard to understand? Leave. Me Alone. Go way, I don't want to talk to anybody, I don't want to play with anybody."

The voice seemed to be talking as if it thought Cassi was another child, which caught Cassi off guard once again. "And why is that little one?" Cassi had just suddenly blurted out her question like she didn't have any sense, and it made her fur heat up in embarrassment.

Meanwhile, she could just feel the figure in the tent stiffen, like it had come to realization that a stranger had come into it's room. Cassi lowered her head even lower, stifling a sigh as she spoke again;

"I'm very sorry for intruding by coming into your room, but the other children have spoken about you, I guess my curiosity had gotten the best of me. I guess I shall take my leave, seeing as you don't want anybody in here, goodbye." She muttered, turning around to walk back to the other children.

The tent shivered from behind her, "Wait." the voice said, the tent continuing to shiver some more.

Cassi obeyed, turning around to face a smaller figure with a hood over their head. Cassi blinked at them, and then she smiled warmly, "Hello there, I'm glad to see you." she said, her tail swishing back and forth.

The small plumie turned her head to the side, "No, you're not, no one is ever very happy to see me, that's why I stay in here." they said, turning around to walk over to the tent.

"Oh, is that so? So, is that why you stay in here?"

"Yes, it is."

"Oh...I see. I guess you and me are nearly the same then."

"..."

Silence.

Cassi sat herself on the ground, patiently waiting for the next time this little one would speak. The little figure seemed to have frozen stiff, like they were trying to decipher her words on their own.

"What do you mean by 'nearly the same'?"

Cassi chuckled as the little one spun around to stare at her in the dimly lit room. "I mean, I live in the woods by myself, with the exception of my cat. It gets quite lonely there, but the scenery is just beautiful to look at." she said, imaging her small home in her head as she spoke.

The little plumie under the hooded robe tilted their head to the side, "Is it beautiful enough to paint?" they asked curiously.

Paint? What a peculiar question, Cassi thought it was a bit unusual, until she took another look at the beautiful paintings and drawings that neatly lined the walls, of course!

Cassi looked down at them, another warm smile presented itself, "Oh yes, it's the perfect scenery to paint. Do you enjoy painting?" she asked, lowering her head once again to meet them.

"Uh, yeah, I guess I do."

"Well, may I see some of you paintings? I'm sure they're very pretty."

The young plumie was hesitant for a second, but then they spoke once again.

"You promise not to laugh at me? at my paintings?"

Although Cassi mentally questioned this, she never got the chance to ask her what this question meant.

"I promise little one, no body will ever laugh at you or your paintings, especially me."

The rest, you say? Your heart just might melt at how cute the scene was. Cassi ended up adopting the little one, seeing her talent and her views of the world as unorthodox, but special. The little one took a liking to Cassi, almost like an attachment to her. The two of them stayed inseparable their first few nights, and eventually the little one learned to call Cassiopeia Alexandria Leigh, their mommy.

══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

That story was how Cassi bonded with her little one through the spirit of paint. I can honestly say that I modeled this form after me and my step-father's relationship. We weren't the best of pals when we had met, I was still getting over the abandonment of my father and he was trying to get over the divorce of his previous wife, and we often clashed. I modeled this part after he found out about my secret talent for singing, and my love of pillow forts. I guess in a way, we bonded through that, I showed him the music I liked, and he'd teach me how to make better pillow forts by stealing to couch cushions. Till this day, we still have a strong bond, and I have nobody to take but him for showing me paradise.

Adoptive parent/s: Jackson-Lee - A young, single parent.

Why should they be chosen to be the
adoptive parent? What makes them ideally
suited for taking care of this child?: Jackson
lives alone in town and is a singer. He does gigs and
occasionally busking in a park. He is getting to the
point where he could do with a change, a new
spark in his life of happiness and sunshine, and I
definitely think as he is not married or in a
relationship that this baby would be perfect with him.
He could take them along to gigs and play with them all
day since he has free time, plus Jackson is secretly
really good with children and it would really cheer him
up from a previous break up. He's caring, understanding,
and this child would probably really bring him out of his
shell.

The parent that I will be using for this competition is my Kiamara, Hazmond. There is another guardian I will be using in this form is my other Kia, Eirene. She is Hazmond's daughter. With both pandora's and Charchar2's permission, they are allowed to adopt.

➙ why should hazmond be chosen to be the adoptive parent? what makes him ideally suited for taking care of toody?
Hazmond would be a brilliant parent to Toody because Hazmond was raised in an orphanage, so he knows how Toody feels. He knows the struggles of living without parents and how he was alone for all those years before he was adopted. He knew the pain of seeing the boys and girls he was raised with go into the interviewing room and not come back. He knew that they were adopted and he wasn't. He knows the pain, and he understands what they're going through. Hazmond will do anything in his power to coddle Toody until they don't feel the pain of loneliness anymore.
Hazmond has also raised 3 kids and he is experienced with the tantrums, the crying, the whining, the homework, etc. He knows how to make crying kids happy, and to make sick kids feel better. He knows how to give the best tickles and tell the best bedtime stories.

➙ When Hazmond meets Toody for the first time:
It was a mild August day as I drove to the adoption house with Eirene by my side. I couldn't help but wonder about the children that lived inside there, the struggles they went through on a daily bases, and why they were there. Eirene looked over at me with worried eyes, but I kept my eyes on the rode as we drove. When we pulled into the parking lot of the adoption house, I stopped the car and held my breath for a split second before opening up the door. Eirene looked at me again, her eyes staring at me straight on. "Dad, are you sure you want to do this?" she asked. "We can do this an-"
"No." I interrupted her, sighing. "I'm doing it today. I can't put this off another day."
Eirene hesitated, then nodded and exited the passenger seat of the SUV. I sat in my seat for a few seconds, then exited the car as well. This was another step I was taking in my life, a new chapter that I was ready to live. I was going to adopt a child from the hell-risen adoption center I once called my home. As we entered the house, a tiny bell on too of the door rang and a plump, petite woman was sitting at a desk as we walked in. She looked up at us and greeted us with a warm smile. "Hello and welcome to Daymart Adoption House. What can I help you with today?" I held my breath, and twiddled my thumbs as I stared blankly at the woman. Eirene must've noticed the nervousness radiating off my skin because she smiled and put her hands on top of the counter. "We are here to adopt a new child."
The woman behind the desk smiled, and typed something up on her computer. We did paperwork and showed her our ID's (which took about an hour), and we were finally ready to adopt a child. The lady called a man down to the office we were seated in. He greeted us warmly and took us to a room where we waited to meet the kids. "Any specific gender?" He asked, looking back at us.
"No, any is fine." I said, smiling nervously. The man dipped his head and walked out of the room, returning a few minutes later with a small child around the age of 7. The poor thing. I could already feel my eyes watering as flashbacks on my past haunted me. He sat the child down in a seat, and the child stared at us with big, round eyes. They whimpered, and I got up out of my seat and moved closer to the child. They let out a small cry, but I held they're small hand in mine and I kissed the top of their head. They seemed to calm down, and I picked them up, and they rested their head on my shoulder. I looked over at Eirene, and she shed small tear that rolled down her cheek. I looked over at the man, who was still standing by the door. I nodded.
"We've found the one."

Later that night while Eirene and the child, who likes to call them self Toody, cuddled on the couch, I wrote a letter to Toody. The letter goes:

"Dear Toody,

Hello little one. I know I'm not your real father and I know Eirene is not your real sister, but I hope that we are loving you hard enough your heart is about to burst (not literally). I have made a promise to myself and Eirene that I will love and cherish you like I've loved my kids before. I promise that I will love you so much, and spoil you like the rest of my kids that all the kids at school will be wishing I was their daddy. I promise that I will do my very best to protect you from harm, and to protect you from anyone who tries to hurt you. I won't let anyone hurt my little baby. I also promise to never let you go. To never abandon you when you need me the most, and to stick by your side through all life puts you through. I promise that I will never ignore you nor neglect you. I want you to feel safe and loved in my household. I want you to feel like you belong. I love you my little Toody. I hope that your life here is great and filled with joy.

Forever and always,
Hazmond"

adoptive parent azra

birthdate april 12 age 11 zodiac aries

why should they be chosen to be the adoptive parents? What makes them ideally suited for taking care of this child?
azra is a very headstrong girl, and i feel as though that would be a great influence on the shy little orphan. she seems as if she just wants to curl up alone, and I think meeting Azra would be a big confidence booster for her. i also think the atheist part would be good for her, as I myself am atheist. She looks like she needs real encouragement, not make-believe gods to help her. i like the 'fighting for rights' thing as well, this could be nice for the young plume to know everyone has a chance, no matter what gender or species or anything.

As darkness engulfed the orphanage, many worn curtains were shut. One small stained glass window was left open, and a pair of deep brown eyes stared out at the stars.
"When you left me so many years ago," her silkily voice sing out like a small echo, getting sweeter and softer with every note. Her tune was on point, and ears flicked up as she continued. "I thought you would never ever come back home."
Tails thumped and claws clicked in tune. "Oh... Mother." The girls in the room with her cried back to her, "Oh... Mother!" The door swans open as a cheerful middle aged woman pranced in. "They are here!" She yelped, girls stampeding past her to see the many families in search of a child.
The small rusty furred plume was shoved to the back as mothers cooed at the young children and asked for paperwork. Just when she had given up on hope, a very winded looking female came inside.
She looked at Plumie after Plumie before letting her eyes settle on Dorothy. They were kind and warm, and she reached out to pick the young Plumerian up. She requested paperwork and sat down to fill it out with Dorothy on her lap. "Ready?" Came a gentle voice as paper and money was handed over to the lady at the desk. "Time to go home."
