Several people have shown interest in adopting him; until Cross all of them had entirely too much difficulty bridging the communication issues inherent to Alan's vibe. It has left Alan feeling more than a little unwanted but ill-equipped to really understand what was happening or act on it in any complex way. Phoenix showed interest in maybe getting a kid, but things were falling apart. Cross attempted to help get things moving and wound up rather attached to Alan (who was trying to go on escape adventures at the time) instead. Ultimately Cross adopted him, seeing aspects of his younger self in Alan. Cross (and to lesser extent Bella) are the only stable sense of family Alan has experienced to date. Cross has likewise no family to speak of outside of Alan, so the two have become quite close over the past two years. Alan has been learning as much as he can about everything now that he has more access to education and such, although he is still extremely shy about school and so far much prefers to just go out and watch people do stuff, or read about it."@en .
