Help[Games] Re: Ryleigh's Adoption Agency
in reply to a message by Ember
Welcome into your family twins:
Malachi Matthias and Adelaide Natalia are 16 year old twins from Illinois (USA). Malachi is wheel chair bound because of a severed spinal cord which left him paralyzed from the waist down. With all of today's technologies, however, doctors think that he may be able to walk again someday. He enjoys art of any kind, reading and writing his own short stories, and anything dealing with the outdoors. Adelaide is a selective mute and has trust issues. She loves to play the piano and might be the next Mozart! Adelaide is a selective mute and has hard time with trusting because she was repeatedly raped and abused by her father. He got so out of control one night that he stabbed Adelaide (from which she fully recovered) and when Malachi came to her rescue he was stabbed also (which left him paralyzed). Their father killed himself right in front of them. Because their mom died three years previously of cancer, and they had no next of kin, Malachi and Adelaide were put into foster care the next day. Both children need to be reassured that they are loved, and with your family, they will. Please keep us updated!

Thank you! 3 months later:
To Ryleigh's Adoption Agency:
Thank you so much, Ryleigh, for allowing these two wonderful teenagers to enter our home!

Malachi has been doing pretty well. It took him a little while to get comfortable –presumable for post-traumatic stress – but now is doing very well. Although in a wheelchair, he has been allowed to join the high school basketball team and actually does very well. It was intimidating at first for the other players to play along side a wheelchair, but Malachi's winning personality shown through and now they love him. He has become quite the lady's man, with many friends to hang out with. Of course, that's very important to a 16-year-old boy, so we're very glad.
>As for family, he's also been doing well. He has especially befriended Wai and Whitney, who both needed a male role model. They often go to the park to shoot hoops. You'd be amazed at how much those boys look up to Malachi! Anna seems to avoid him a bit, but Malachi adores Sofia and Sofia adores Malachi. Kaia and Andreas are still warming up to him. And Thea loves him, of course! She loves everyone.

Adelaide, unfortunately, isn't doing as spectacular. We don't argue, because she doesn't talk, but I can tell from her eyes and body language that she doesn't trust me at all. The only person she does trust is Malachi – obviously because of him standing up for her when their father stabbed her. I have reason to believe that she talks to him when they're alone, but he doesn't say anything (probably because she made him promise not to). I am homeschooling her, as I am Anna, Kaia, and will homeschool Andreas. We have a piano for Adelaide, and she spends hours playing. It must be her release, her only way to be heard. This has improved her state considerably.
