When you enter the building, you’re confronted by a small petite figure. It’s
definitely a woman, and she greets you with a full smile, and a kind hand
shake. After you exchange hellos, and good morning, she starts to explain.
“Hello and Welcome to G.A.C. Would you like to know more-” she holds out
her hand to direct you inside the cozy building. “Then let me give you the
tour. The Gaia adoption center was founded by the first Lady Marilyn, but
now it is run by her great, great grand daughter, I, Ms. Marilyn. Therefore,
it has been passed down from family to family member. Through all the
Marilyns, the building and what it works for hasn’t changed a bit. The G.A.C
doesn’t let down any children, no matter the cause. Sick, alone, worried, it
doesn’t matter. No child is put down. The staffs at G.A.C are capable of
taking care of any situation so why would we put any children out? We
have a local doctor, two full time nurses, three nursery staff members,
cooks and cleaners, two counselors, and several volunteers that just like to
“hang out” with the older kids, and help out with other activities.

Speaking of activities, we have paddle boats for the outback lake, as well
an indoor pool that reverts to an outdoor pool when it isn’t that chilly. Also,
a active hiking course accompanied by the horse riding trail. A small
garden half by staff and half by our own children directly outside, and a
small walk to the left will lead you in the direction of the park which also
has a picnic area located to the side.

Other then activities you will probably want to know some things about the
building itself. Well, from the front door there are three hallways.” She
points as she speaks. “Straight leads to the kitchen, dining room, and
family room that most children find relaxing for the big windows that show
off the small garden in the back. To the left you will find outside doors, and
the game room that most children call the “Fun hall” for during the day
entertainment. To the right you will find a hallway with two doors, one is
labeled boys and one is labeled girls. These two bathrooms are well-sized
and can be accompanied by the average amount of children all at one time.
As you continue to walk down the hall you can see the nursery on the left,
and sleeping cribs on the right made especially for our littler ones.

Further down you can see three doors. The one directly in front of you
leads to the sub-living room which is opened until roughly 9:00pm to the
children. This room includes three TVs, game systems, and of course some
sitting areas. If you go to the left you will find the boy’s rooms, and to the
right you will find the girl’s room.

Well, I think I have pretty much explained myself, you can find the main
office at the front, and you can tell the desk lady to get me if you need me.
Make yourself at home, and stay as long as you need in order to make the
right decision. The kids should be waking up for breakfast in about…”

-You hear a dinging sound from the hallway;
she smirks “That’s the bell; I would clear the hallway before
you get trampled by children.” Marilyn walks back towards the front,
and turns to give a slight smile, and a wave before entering the
office.

??
Infant - Aw. Your baby is at the cute stage. He or she isn’t very social or
active just yet. Basically he/she is just up for the simple tasks like eating,
sleeping, and pooping. A bottle with milk is the only thing that will fit the
hunger, and you won’t have to worry about much at such a young age.
Education isn’t needed, and constant care isn’t either unless you came
across a stubborn baby that uses crying to get its way constantly. Cherish
this young age, because once they get to moving they are quick.


??

Toddler – Your baby isn’t much for sleeping anymore. Curiosity gets the
best of most situations, and in this case you will want to keep a good eye
on him or her at all times. This includes watching out for other pets, sharp
utensils, and those nasty electric plugs. You’ll also probably be considering
day care, in which this would be the perfect time since you’re baby would
probably love to be around, and function with others its age. Still into the
bottle, you’re baby will slowly start on solids, fit for its age, and also be
working with its verbal vocabulary.


??
Child – Say goodbye to that bottle, and those diapers. Your baby isn’t a
baby anymore, but a beautiful child. Sentences are already formed, and
he or she is into going to school everyday. Curiosity is still at a high, and
whatever is new is what you’re child wants to know about. He or she will
also be very into the question business, with at least a dozen a day, and
seeing you are mommie or daddie you should know all about these things,
make sure you keep you’re kid in the right path, don’t want to loose that
adorable little one.


??
Teen – Ooh lord. Your child as formed a attitude and a mind of its very
own. Parties, drama, relationship and worries are all revolving around
your child and you. He or she will want to be out with the friends
constantly, and might strain from their school work, or perhaps you have it
all planned out, and you’re child knows to follow the rules. Watch out for
drugs though, and several dangerous that could get your baby taken away
for ever. Hope you don’t have to worry about crime, and violence with him
or her, and try to keep things safe. That way you wont have to worry to
much.


??
Adult – Either leaving high school or already in college, your child isn’t
even your child anymore, its your grown up. Getting jobs, making their
own family, moving out. Just make sure you keep yourself in his or her life,
and keep him or her in the right path, because a mistake can be made at
any time in life. If you were good all their life, they will return the favor,
but make sure to keep some space, because as adults if you could do it
for yourself, they can keep some things in order. :3

Part I; Requirements____ ___ __ _


Infant -> Toddler -> Child -> Teen -> Adult

Infant to Toddler: 4 Journal Posts/Rps at least
Toddler to Child: 5 Journal Posts/Rps at least
Child to Teen: 6 Journal Posts/Rps at least
Teen to Adult: 7 Journal Posts/Rps at least
Adult to No Roleplay Needed: 20 posts/Rps at least

Total: 42 Journal posts/RPs at least

After one or two posts the artists can see
and can start on the next stage but you won't get
the growing until your posts are complete.

In order to keep your child growing you must make the
following requirements. If you purchase a child at a older
age then infant, the requirements start at that stage. If you
fail to do the current requirements, then your child will
stop growing, period. It can also be taken away from there on.
But note that your journal entries can be spaced out all
the way to two months. ^^

If you are in the middle of getting a point across in
your journal, and would like MORE posts before he
or she grows, then just drop a pm or say so. <3

Remember: If you are to be on haitus, then make sure to tell
the mule, so that your child will not be taken away for a little
mistake.


Part II; Purchased____ ___ __ _


So you have received a child, or bought a child, and you are
wondering how this all works out and basically how to start, correct? Well
allow me to explain.

When you purchase a child roleplay doesn't start off as adopted. At least
the first day of the child being owned, your roleplay should be you as the
child. The child will not be adopted untill you plan to adopt him or her out.
The adoption can be weeks, to months, to years, if you ever intend on
him or her getting adopted. If you wish, you can just roleplay as the child
forever! But do realize that when a child becomes an adult they can no
longer live at the G.A.C.


Part III; Extras?!____ ___ __ _


Well when you roleplay and post journal enties it helps
the artists understand what the child will look like, and get a better
more descriptive observation. Roleplay and journal entries can also
show things in extra pictures. Such thing as if the child receives
a pet, like a kitten or puppy, in a roleplay or event, that animal
will most likely show up in the next stage picture, OR be drawn into the
current one. Items, and markings can happen as well. If a child
falls and ends up with a broken leg, the cast might be in the next picture.

Things that can show up:
-Animals
-Injury
-Sickness
-Items
-Piercings and/or tattoos

Breeding: CLOSED!

Wikipedia

Breeding refers to the male and female duality of
biology and reproduction. Unlike organisms that only have the ability to
reproduce asexually, sexed male and female pairs have the ability to
produce offspring through meiosis and fertilization. The two sexes attract
one another and communicate their readiness to procreate through
differences in their biology.

An organism's sex category reflects its biological reproductive function
rather than its sexuality or other behavior. The female sex is defined as
the one which produces the larger or more work and which typically bears
the offspring. In contrast, the male sex has a smaller or less work and
rarely bears offspring.

Breeding is often perceived as a dichotomous state or identity for most
biological and social purposes - such that a person can only be female or
male. But many factors, including one's biology, environment, psychology
and social context, have a role in determining how a particular person, and
those around them, view their sex.


The quote above (mainly by wikipedia, and edited somewhat) pretty much
somes up the breeding process. Here at G.A.C it works that way. In the
event that there is a female, and a female, or male, and a male, the
baby(-ies) will be made from artificial insemination, or a female will
volunteer in the event of two males.

A typical family can have one to two babies. It is rare that they have more;
but three isn't always "forbidden" or anything like that. So therefore when
you decide it is time for them/it, don't automatically think its a certain
number because you never know. ;3 Also, here at G.A.C we don't
encourage any baby making until your child is a older, more mature adult.
Of course there can be a baby made at such a young as teenager, but we like
wanted babies not "oops" babies. So try to wait until adulthood, and heck
by then you'll be out of G.A.C! But make sure to bring your baby by at
events, and the daycare. ^-^ so we can see him or her around!

The parent(s) MUST have at least two recorded roleplays
talking about pregnancy, or mistaking getting pregnant.
BUT; please remember that you don't have to roleplay out sex.

If breeding is open, then you'll need to find out whose
slots are open. You'll also need to have 10k a piece
[ from both owners ] 20k total, ready to send a trade to
the mule. After you pm the form, thats when you send the trade.
If you want to be able to CUSTOMIZE how many babies you
want and/or what they look like these are the prices:

one baby - 20k
twin babies - 40k
three twin babies - 60k
custom one baby - 40k
custom twin babies - 80k
custom three babies - 120k

    Part I; Flatsales____ ___ __ _

      Flatsales are pretty much always going to be with roleplay prompts.
      Seeing that these are roleplay needed pets until late adulthood,
      its our right to see how people can roleplay, and if they really will
      roleplay and not let their child die. D:

      When there is a roleplay flatsale, it will most likely
      be in a new thread. In this case the link will be posted

    Part II; Raffles____ ___ __ _

      Raffles are pretty much luck contests, where people buy
      a certain amount of tickets and on the end date a number
      will be randomized and a winner is chosen. Here at G.A.C
      we don't plan on having to many raffles because it doesn't
      show if someone really deserves a G.A.C child, but we might
      have one at some point.

      When there is a raffle, it will most likely
      be in a new thread. In this case the link will be posted
      in the main post, at the top.

      None

      Preview~

    Part III; Auctions____ ___ __ _

      Auctions occur when a artist decides to test their skills
      just a little bit. When one comes around there will be a start
      bid, and sometimes a autobuy. The auction will probably last
      at least three weeks, and as the bids go up there might be extras.

      When there is a auction, it will be in a
      new thread. In this case the link will be posted
      in the main post, at the top.
