she was adopted at 9, so she's been with the blackwells for 15ish years. their adoptive parents lost their first child and they couldn't have anymore so they adopted. two boys and two girls, all adopted. it's up to you when he was adopted. they're from seattle and grew up there with her adoptive family until 2008ish when they moved to la after her dad accepted a job at an ad agency. i never really got further than that when it came to their parents, so the rest is up for discussion.
