More years have passed and again it’s time for you and your two/three children to leave and move to Europe. It is exciting for all of you and upon arriving you decide rather than having another child of you own, you would like to adopt from the country you are now calling home.

DAD: Mela Elvina Dotson (6)
DD/DS: Marula Golda Dotson *Mari*/Roan Redmond Dotson (4)

Hi, I'm Majorca Sigrid Dotson. I live in Canberra, Australia with my husband of two years, Bolivia Wyatt Dotson. Both of us love to travel and one day, our goal in life is to live on every continent for at least one year. Currently, we are residing in Australia, where both of us are from, but we know that it won't be long before we move. We have a beautiful, newborn daughter together, called Adelaide Clementine Dotson. We named Addie, after the place, Adelaide. It suits her perfectly!

Three years after Addie was born, Bo and I decided it was time to move. Addie was still young, but old enough to take everything in. Our next stop was Africa. We debated which country in Africa we would like to live in and ended up decidin on Botswana. It is a lovely place and completely different to living in Australia. Only a year after making the move, I fell pregnant with boy/girl twins. We named them Marula Golda Dotson and Roan Redmond Dotson. Mari is named after a local plant, the Marula tree and Roan is after a type of antelope, the roan, found in Botswana.

Four years after the twins are born, we decide it's time for us to move on to Europe. We research some countries that appeal to us and eventually decide that Portugal is the best place to make our new home. We also decide that there is room in our family for one more child, but rather than having another baby of our own, we choose to adopt a six year old girl for Portugal. We choose to change her name to match our other children and name her Mela Elvina Dotson. Mela is after the plant Melaleuca tree found in Portugal.

My name is Kayla Missie Schmidt (23) and my husband is Zac Fenton Schmidt (23) We have been married for two years now but have known each other from our sophomore year in high school and both of us love culture. Our goal is to eventually live in a country on every continent for at least one year of your life. Currently, we live in Brisbane, Queensland, We decided after two years to have a baby and name them after Australia, on May 6th 2011, we had a baby boy and called him. We decided to name him after the landmark where we sailed into Australia on our honeymoon. Which was Port Arthur in Tasmania.


Arthur Creed Schmidt


Hey, It's Kayla again. Me and Zac decided to move to a new place. Somewhere in Africa. I'm now 24 and Zac recently turned 25. Arthur has gotten so big now, he's one. While moving into our new home in Johannesburg, South Africa we found out we were pregnant again! Then to our even bigger shock we found out we were having identical twin boys! We decided to give them African names in honor of us living in Africa for their birth. So on July 1st 2012, We welcomed our beautiful boys into the world. Their names mean One who is Blessed and One who is Full Of Laughter.

Keita Pate Schmidt & Teishi Coleman Schmidt


Hello again! It's Kayla. Me and Zac have been having a wonderful time in South Africa. We've stayed there for three years but out spirits have gone weary and it was time for us to move again. I'm 27 now and so is Zac, so giving a though to where next we decided what better then Sweden! It's so beautiful here. Arthur now four and our twins Keita and Teishi are now three. It took us a lot of time spent thinking but we've decided to adopt! We are a loving family with enough resources so why not help a child in need. So two weeks ago. On September 6th 2016 we adopted a little boy just born that day! We decided to name him after a famous Swedish Ice Hockey player who plays for our home state team in NY. So we welcomed our newest edition.

Henrik Constantine Schmidt

My name is Vienna Isabel Phillips. I am 34 years old. I have been married to my husband, Everest Wyatt Phillips, who is 30, for nearly 8 years. We love to travel and have lived in three continents so far. We first lived in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. While there we had our first child, a boy who we named Preston Boone. We named him Preston after the small community where we lived. Our small family loved living in Australia.

After 2 years we decided we needed to move. We picked a random place off the map and it landed us in White Hill, South Africa. We are far from disappointed with our choice. Once we arrived we discovered that I was pregnant, with twins!! We added Tatum Ivory and Logan Graydon. Tatum is named after a local beauty queen and Logan is named after a famous news anchor.

After 4 years of living in South Africa we picked another random place off the map. We just moved to Malta about 5 months ago. After seeing the community we decided we should give a child a home, so we adopted a little one year old girl who we named Paradise Emmaline. She is named after Paradise Bay which is where we ended up on an exploration trip when we first moved to Malta.
