2010:
Nova and Hux's children have grown up and they decided they want to start adopting. Their previous children, Calix Seth, Zenobia "Nobi" Harley, Katara Lane, Maximus "Max" Grey, and Phoenix Drew, all have started school. Nova and Hux were able to start the adoption process with an international adoption from South Africa. They adopted two year-old twin boys, Friedrich "Frieddy" Arlo and Jabulani "Jabu" Luan.
2011:
Nova and Hux are seeing improvements from Frieddy and Jabu and decided to adopt internationally once again. They adopted a 9 year old girl from Haiti. Esterline Marie fit right into the family and is proving to be a wonderful big sister to the twins already.
2012:
Nova and Hux decided to adopt from foster care this year. They adopted 2 wonderful brothers, a 2 year old and an 11 year old. Landon Jack and Matthew Tyler both made wonderful additions to the family. While Landon has no notable delays or behavioral problems, his older brother Matthew has anger issues. To resolve this, Nova and Hux gave Matthew his own space where he can go to relax when things get to be too much.
2013:
After 3 years of adopting in a row, Nova and Hux decided that their family was getting bigger by the day and decided to take the year off and spend time with their growing family.
2014:
After the year off, Nova and Hux decided to adopt a little girl from the teenage birth parents. Neither parent wants an open adoption so Nova and Hux are enjoying little Briar Rose to themselves with the rest of their family.
2015:
Nova and Hux were not able to adopt a child this year, but it was okay because it gave them time to bond with all of their children.
2016:
Nova and Hux decided to adopt a baby boy from his birth parents. They don't want any contact with their newborn son. Nova and Hux are excited to have little Brayden James join their family.
2017:
Nova and Hux decided to adopt a little girl from a couple who already have two older sons. The parents wanted their sons Alex and Finn to have contact with their little sister, Alivia Renee.
2018:
Nova and Hux were so busy with keeping Alivia in contact with her older brothers that they decided not to adopt this year.
2019:
Nova and Hux decided that after adopting Alivia, their family was complete.
