Ewan keeps all of his children very much out of the media. On the programmes with Charlie, they are never seen where as Charlie’s girls are quite often on camera in the beginning and end parts of their journeys.

I know the Mongolian orphanages and the street kids really affected Ewan, so I wasnt surprised when he adopted a little girl. Its the first time I’ve seen all the girl’s first names in full though, its nice they have french influences in their names from Eve too.

Their adopted daughter’s full name is Jamiyansetseg but they call her Jamiyan (sort of rhymes with Damian), she’s from Mongolia. Ewan met her when he was doing “Long Way Round” and she was living alone with a few other very young children, and was only 2 at the time. He tried to adopt her then but there was a lot of red tape, so he made it possible for her to go to a children’s home and made sure she’d be provided for until she was 18. Then about a year or two after that, I read that he and his wife were finally able to adopt her and bring her to London. I’ve never seen any pics of her or read anything more about it than that.

Lilybett- Yes, the adoption was covered on CBB. However, it wasn’t much more than a little blurb, which is probably why you missed it. At the time, Ewan and Eve hadn’t even released Jamiyan’s name yet.

Sarita- I, too, think they either kept Jamiyan’s birth name or the name Jamiyan is some form of her birth name. Jamiyan was adopted from Mongolia, and that does sound like a Mongolian name.

Anyway, I love all of their children’s names! Jamiyan’s name is just plan cute, and Clara and Esther are pretty, classical names.

Was the child’s adoption covered on CBB? I’ve been reading for several years now and I don’t remember hearing about it before. I always assumed he and Charlie Borman both had two daughters apiece!

ok thanks thats what i was thinking because as you said her name is a little different but i agree with you Jaycee she is their daughter just as much as the other two

I love him and the show that he and Charlie do. He adopted Jimiyan after Long Way Around and meeting her in one of the villages. HE is wonderful. I hope they do another trip. LONG WAY UP would be cool.

Did they keep her birth name? Because the thing that stood out to me was that the middle child had such a different name from the two others.
His series just started on TV here, it looks very cool.

Kelly-Jamiyan is adopted, so that explains the otherwise odd age difference. I am glad, however, that the post does not mention her being adopted. She is Ewan and his wife’s daughter, plain and simple.

I think the one of the girls is adopted Kelly.
