Congratulations to Haven, Wolf, Rayvn, Grey and Merrick! We have found you two daughters.Sofiya Aleksandra is a four-year-old girl from Russia.

Sofiya doesn't have lot of energy but enjoys reading, drawing, and watching movies.Elena Isabela is a two-month-old boy from Argentina. He has tetralogy of Fallot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetralogy_of_Fallot#Treatment) and will need surgery as soon as possible to correct it.

She likes to be held and loves being passed from person to person while she charms them all.We hope you enjoy your new children! Please let us know how Sofiya and Elena are doing.

Congratulations to Brandon and Elissa!We have found you three children.Rachel Amelia is a six-year-old girl from England. She is autistic but speaks enough to communicate effectively with others. She has no other health problems and has average to high intelligence. It's very difficult for her to establish relationships with people but she is very loyal to those that she trusts. Routine is very important to Rachel and change bothers her. However, we think that with a loving family and intensive therapy she will improve greatly.Jonathan Isaac is a three-year-old boy from England. He has mild cerebral palsy and wears leg braces to help him walk. He also wears glasses. So far his hearing tests have been normal but retesting every year is recommended. He loves to cuddle and is very affectionate. Jonathan's favorite things to do are play catch and look at books.Madeline Grace is Jonathan's baby sister. She is two months old. She is very lively and alert and wants to see everything around her.We hope you enjoy your new children! Please let us know how Rachel, Jonathan and Madeline are doing.

Julia's Adoption Agency,Thank you so much for allowing Emilie Noelle to be part of our family. Jamison and Julia are thrilled to have a new little one to play with. Julia is so happy to have an older sister to look up to!We always remind Emilie to do her eye excersises, but she is such a resonsible little girl and usually remembers on her own. We too hope that if she keeps this up, that she won't have to wear glassses anymore.Lance also loves sports and takes all three kids over to a park near our home to play. Emilie has been having a great time playing soccer and other sports. We are hoping to have some tennis courts built in our area, and if we do, we will definetely take her!Sincerely,Lorena Applegate

Congratulations to Lindsay, Ellie, Cait, Lia and Jock!We have found you four children.Isla Kirstin and Evander Malcolm are six-year-old twins from Scotland. They speak both English and Scottish Gaelic fluently. Isla is very outgoing and friendly and loves to meet new people. She is extremely excited to be going to a home with two little sisters and a little brother to play with. Isla enjoys listening to music and painting. Evander is shyer and quieter than Isla, perhaps as a result of his mild asthma. He needs to take medicine every morning and he has a quick-relief inhaler but rarely needs to use it. He loves swimming and climbing trees.Bronwen Angharad is an eight-year-old girl from Wales. She wears a hearing aid in one ear, but with the hearing aid her hearing is normal.

Congratulations to Jane, Emmerich, Micah and Brian!We have found you three children.Hana Airi is an eleven-year-old girl from Japan.

He has mild social anxiety and it takes him a long time to warm up to new situations, but he has expressed excitement over being adopted.

Dear Julia's Adoption Agency,
Thank you so much for our two adopted children! They were great matches. Camille and David are a great addition to the Montgomery family.We are teaching Camille and David English the best we can since young children learn it easier than older children. Robert and Victoria love translating into French and English.
Elizabeth loves having an older sister to play with. We read to all the children since Camille loves it. The two girls dance together as best as they can.With David, the boys still outnumber the girls which they like. We gave David some of Alex and Will's trucks to play with.We love not too far from the beach, so we go there occasionaly. We are teaching Alex and Camille to swim.Thanks again!Robert, Victoria, Alexander, William, Elizabeth, Camille, and David

Congratulations to Noel, Aurea, Caspian, Noah, Jacob, Lily, Raine and Dante!We have found you four children.Jung (f) and Hyun (m) are one-month-old twins from Korea. The orphanage named them but you are welcome to give them English first names if you want to. Jung is the more active of the two. She stays alert for hours at a time, silently watching everything around her. Hyun is mellower and is content to fall asleep in your arms.Luca Matteo is a six-year-old boy from Italy. He is moderately hearing impaired but hasn't been able to get hearing aids at his orphanage, so his language skills are lacking and we recommend therapy as soon as possible. He taught himself to read when he was five, though, and reads Italian and a little bit of English. He can also write fairly clearly. He loves to read and will read anything that stands still long enough. He also really enjoys playing soccer.Sofia Natalia is an eight-year-old girl from Spain. She is mildly developmentally disabled but loves learning. She can read and write and do basic arithmetic, but is really struggling with higher math concepts and spelling. She loves to dance and play dress-up, and is very excited about having a sister close to her own age.We hope you enjoy your new children! Please let us know how Jung, Hyun, Luca and Sofia are doing.

They are doing great and the other children loves them! We are so happy to have two new babies in the house!Luca enjoys playing soccer with Dante and sometimes even Jacob joins them. We also took Luca to a doctor and she gave him a hearing aid. He was very happy to hear! Since he already could read we thought that he would learn to speak better soon, and he did! He now speaks italian and we are trying to learn him english and when he gets older we want to learn him spanish too.

Congratulations to Michelle, John, Lennon, Georgiana and Jezebel!We have found you three children.Evan Robert (12), Dalia Mae (11), and Rachel Naomi (10) are siblings from New Zealand. Evan was two when his mother died, and before she died she abused all three of her children quite badly. Evan is the only one old enough to remember the abuse and still has trust problems as a result. He is a very sweet and loving boy when you gain his trust, and he loves to play basketball and write stories. He's really looking fowards to having a big brother--he's only ever had little sisters. Dalia has mild diabetes, and she sometimes needs to be reminded to take her insulin. She loves to hang out with her friends and draw. Rachel is the baby of the family and is quite shy. She has lived at the orphanage all her life and has never gotten any specialized attention. She will disappear into the corner if not drawn out of her shyness and encouraged to try new things. She loves to read and, surprisingly, really enjoys acting and singing.We hope you enjoy your new children! Please let us know how Evan, Dalia and Rachel are doing.

Matt, Ian, and Natalie are very nice children, but Natalie is very bossy and controling of Evan. Dalia is okay. She is now 13 years old. She is VERY popular. She is never home, now. She is always with friends. Her diabetes is doing well, but she has to be remimded still. When is came to live with, within days she had friends, and several boy who were interested in her. Dalia has become somewhat rebalious. Her "best friends", Annika, Sabrina, Eliana, and Madeleine are always with her. She says that she isn't dating anyone, but we know she is.

Congratulations to Tom, Leonor, Rory, Camden and Iris!We have found you four children.Jasmine Elise is a 6-year-old girl from Perth, Australia. She has brown curly hair and bright blue eyes. She loves to play outside and run around but can be tempted by a good book as well. She is shy but warms up to people fairly quickly. She is extremely excited to have three big sisters to play with!Leo Robert is Jasmine's little brother. He is 4 and has blond hair and green eyes. He loves to do anything that Jasmine is doing, especially involving balls of some type. He also loves to listen to music.Evangeline Isabel is a one-year-old girl from London. She has light brown hair and big brown eyes. She is mildly hearing impaired and should be fitted for hearing aids soon. She loves to cuddle, and also really enjoys looking at picture books.Matthew Simon is a 3-year-old boy from the United States with black hair and grey eyes.

ETA: thanks for running this! It was great funDear Julia, We'd just like to say thank you so much for finding us four delightful children to complete our family. They've all fitted in so well that it feels like they've always been a part of our family.Rory, Camden and Iris have initiated Jas into their little gang and the four of them are as thick as thieves. Luckily for me they all love playing 'house' and help plenty with all the cleaning, cooking and childcare! They especially dote upon Leo and they are currently helping Tom build a treehouse (sorry, I've been told it is 'gang headquarters'). Jas is especially excited as she tells us she's never had a proper garden before so ours with its giant trampoline, jungle gym, slide and swing set seems like heaven to her! She's even learning to ride a bike with the help of her big sisters.
We decided that it was important that Jas and Leo formed a close bond as biological siblings and so we have enrolled them in football (soccer) classes together. Leo is particularily appreciative of the time with his big sis. Like Jas, he's in heaven here at the house - he almost went purple with excitement when we showed him the attic music room. It's full of musical instruments (guitars, a piano, a harp, a flute, a violin) and big squashy armchairs to listen to music in. I'm currently teaching him some guitar chords and he's catching on extremely quickly!
Matthew is doing great as well although initially he seemed a bit daunted by all the girls! He's been seeing a speech therapist and is rapidly improving. This weeks new words are 'Jaguar', 'Ferrari' and 'Lamburgini'. Hmm... He's especially bonded with Tom's brother Oliver who owns a garage.
