so this has been a long time coming, but it took a lot of time to figure out whether we could make this properly work into a feasible idea. and I think we have figured it out.
I'm announcing the addition of "The Hatchery" which is an extension of the Nursery that will alternate with the nursery openings. (So each other month the other will be open) The Hatchery is for adopting orphaned eggs, and this idea was specifically put in place to add those pairings/couples who want children but cannot breed / produce biological offspring with their partners. While any pairings will be able to utilize the Hatchery, the first 5 days of each opening will be specifically for those infertile / same biological gender mates/pairings only. The Hatchery will only be open for 15 days each month it's open, the first 5 again only for infertile pairings, the other 10 days anyone can post - including single viscets who want to be a parent but do not/have not found a mate. We hope you enjoy this new addition. The grand opening will be March 1st, when a member of staff posts to open it, so we sure to read and well verse yourself with all the rules! If you have any questions feel free to pm me or comment your questions here. I'll do my best to answer them. c:

aka: The Orphan Adoption CenterHere, orphaned eggs are gathered by kind rescuers; perhaps their parents are not known, or perhaps their anonymous caretakers are no longer able to care for them. However it is, these orphaned babs are eager to find a new home.How does it work? Well, it works very similarly to regular breedings! Just scroll down to the Submissions page to find the form for Adopting. Rather than selecting 2 parents to breed, you select (a parent or) 2 parents to adopt, as well as the 1 egg you wish to adopt; but there's a specialty--any pair of any biological gender can adopt an Orphan. The egg will be removed from the list, and a new one cycled in to replace it; it will be recorded like any normal submission, and completed by an artist like normal.
