[Games] Welcome Simona, Ayuru and Kolya!
in reply to a message by Genevieve
Simona is baby girl Romania. Her mother was very young and felt she could not cope with the responsibility of a child. Simona has not developed any interests yet, and cannot speak any language as she is too young, but can of course be taught English. She has swarthy skin and dark hair.
Ayuru is a six-year-old boy who was born in Japan, though has lived most of his life in San Francisco with his aunt so speaks good English. Ayuru's aunt would like to keep in contact with him if possible. He is dyslexic, and his hobbies include sports and playing with his toys.
Kolya is an eight-year-old boy from Russia. He speaks very little English, and loves animals and art. His family died in a car accident when he was younger, and Kolya has some anxiety issues. However, he loves dogs, so he should fit well into your family!
Congratulations on your three new arrivals! Please updates us on your adoptees!

We want to thank you so much for the new members of our family. We can't tell you how very happy we all are!
Simona, now a year and a half, is absolutely charming. She is constantly laughing, smiling, and trying to make everyone else laugh. She is hitting all her developmental milestones right on time, and shows no signs of delays. She speaks very well, and loves to sing. We can already tell she is a very imaginative child.
Ayuru is now 7 and enrolled in a private school where he can receive some extra help with his school work. He is in the first grade. While he still struggles some with reading, he is an absolute whiz at math! He's even started learning his multiplication tables! He is on a soccer team, and really enjoys playing. He also loves to play outside, and has made many good friends in our neighborhood. He speaks to his aunt once a week on the phone, and we plan to go visit out in California this fall.
Kolya is a fourth grader at the same school as Ayuru. He is a very bright child, and learned English much more quickly than we imagined. He takes his schoolwork seriously, and really excels in all subjects. He is very shy, but has made a few close friends in school and in the neighborhood. His anxiety issues are still present, but have decreased over the past several months. We enrolled him in counseling early on to help him deal with things from his past that frighten him, and he is making great progress. He is very creative, and is a great artist. He also recently started taking gymnastics, which he loves! He is a great help to both of us in caring for the dogs.
We couldn't have asked for a better family. Thank you again!
