Thank you for these kids. A little over a year has gone by and the kids are adjusting well. Iris and Antonio are learning more English every day and they talk to their biological parents on the phone sometimes. Olivia is also doing well, especially in school. She is looking forward to college in a few years. Robert loves having brothers to play football with. He has also sometimes talks to his biological mother on the phone. Thank you for these wonderful kids
