Hm... you could have him find Tyler outside! He's playing the guitar, so that might interest him, right?

As an idea, how do you feel about, say the boys are here because they were given up, they are there for the Reeds to help find them a home and they can adopt Tyler and Danny. and if Danny and Jacob fall in love or something he would be adopted by a neighbor? just and idea, let me know what you think.

But Tyler's already been adopted, though.

Maybe Tyler could just become some kind of permanent ranch-hand? Not actually part of the family but still stays there

Both Jacob and Tyler has been, that's why I said they would be "given up". But that can work, they can offer him a job.

Danny wont be adopted easily, I don't think. Even if he wants to, I think it's gonna take some time for him to even adjust to the idea of leaving the orphanage.

I was going to have them do it with out him knowing >.< but I will have Mr. reed talk to him about it later.

That would probably a be a good idea. I wouldn't recommend them doing it without him knowing, unless Mr. Reed wants a full blown, brown haired tornado of anxiety and screaming on his hands. U.U

So I feel like I should mention this.
The adoption process is a long and drawn out one. They couldn't possibly do it "without him knowing". It involves house checks and a house study by social workers. The family and the child would have to talk it over. The courts will get involved to be sure that the child is being placed in a home that is in both parties best interests. They'd have to take classes..there's so much involved. And the paperwork! So much paperwork!
It sometimes takes over two years for the paperwork to go through, but most adoptions usually take between 9 months and 1 year to finalize.
Now, that doesn't mean that he can't come and stay with them while the adoption is pending. However, that's a decision the courts and his social worker would have to work together to make. They won't just hand him over to just anyone.
As far as Tyler goes, they can't just relinquish rights. If his family decided that they no longer wanted him, they'd have to declare themselves unfit parents and they would lose custody of all their children under the age of 18.
As for Jacob, there's no chance in hell he would ever agree to stay there. He doesn't know them. He doesn't trust them. Aside from that, Brandon and Danielle currently have custody. The Reeds can't just decide to take him from them. Now, if they were to get in contact with his social worker, they could theoretically get the adoption process started. However, the same rules apply as they did with Danny. Not to mention, we're talking about crossing state lines here, which gets VERY messy.
Adoption isn't like the pound. You can't just see one you like and take it home with you. It's a long and very involved process.
Even if all this weren't an issue, Jimmy makes the process even harder because you better believe he'll retaliate the second he finds out Jacob isn't coming back. Retaliation could be anything from dragging his ass back to Chicago, to killing him, to burning down the whole damn farm.

I know how the adoption process works, I was just saying rot the role play sake of things like that we wouldn't have time to play over all that. And as for the gang I to realize that as well. We would obviously have him into some sort of witness protection if we wanted to get technical but again for the sake of the role play I just figure things would be implied. ..

But why skip over things?
At the very least it would have to be illuded to. Or mentioned in conversation I would think.
Every one of them would need to be visited multiple times by their social worker. If you're skipping over the process then you're skipping a good 9-24 months. At that point the summer would quite obviously be over.
And that doesn't change the fact that there would be absolutely no way that he could be adopted without his knowledge.
If this is an realistic rp then shouldn't we play it as close to realism as possible?

I wasn't meaning as we didn't know. I was talking later on down the road of runner after they talked about it hw was surprised with the final adoption papers. And I would have to skip over it because I don't have a lot of time to constantly be on I have a husband and a house to take of along with moving multiple times a month that would require a lot of up keep. And to keep the role play from getting stale from going to long when most of the people by then would drop out.

I highly doubt most of the people would drop. This is a semi-detailed realistic RP after all.
Usually the point of an RP is to "drag it out". Wouldn't you want it to last longer than a few weeks or even a few months? As long as all of the focus isn't completely on the process, I doubt anyone else would mind. Especially if their characters are off doing their own things. I'm sure some other interesting points will come up that Mr. Reed will be forced to deal with.
Having a lot going on in real life isn't that big of a deal. You've posted quite a bit today. I fully understand if that's not an accurate representation of how often you usually post. However, that being said, even if your posts are only once a day or once every other day then in all reality the RP just moves a little slower.
I'm not sure why you've gotten so defensive over simply being corrected. You seemed to have a few misconceptions about the process, I brought to light how it would actually work. Again, if this is a realistic RP, then I assume you'd want to keep it as close to reality as possible.
I mean...those are HUGE details you want to look over. The ENTIRE adoption process.
If the point here isn't to play out the details then what is it? What was the intent with this particular RP? Is it meant more to be a budding romance kind of thing? If so, why even bring up adoption?

I'm not getting defensive. I simply said I knew how the adoption process worked and that I wasn't sure if I would be able to put in the effort over so long of periods with me moving so much. It does make since to have some of the process presented just not every detail. I just didn't want this rp to die. I didn't create it for a romance purpose I created it to role play rehabilitation of troubled kids with hard work and acceptance and added everything else because things like that were bound to happen and they would help the trouble child. I brought up adoption because I thought it would be a neat idea for them to adopt Danny then I thought about how that would effect the relationships that's the only reason I even mentioned the other stuff....

But your right we should play it out. If that is what other people want. You have to think the adopted Nicholai already so the service would already be familiar with them. It's up to everyone if they want to do this.
