Your Adoptee!Wilma Joanna is a fourteen-year-old girl from Brisbane, Australia. When her parents died of a car accident when she was five, the event traumatised her so much and made her phobic to cars and driving. Her aunt and uncle found her phobia increasingly hard to bear, especially with her frequent nightmare spells and trauma. She likes to play monopoly whenever she can - that is, whenever anyone wants to play with her, which was not quite often - and is known to paint emotional, abstract pictures.

Thanks!6 months later:Wilma was happy to find out that her new parents and sister love board games. Now she almost always has someone to play monopoly (and other board games) with her. Recently Wilma started taking art classes at her school and is really enjoying them. Dorian says that Wilma is quite talented painter. We have found a good therapist who has been specialized to severe, life-restricting phobias. After starting the therapy Wilma has made a little progress with overcoming her phobia and her nightmares have become less frequent. We hope that one day Wilma will overcome her phobia, or at least finds a way to live with it so that it doesn't restrict her life too much. It seems Wilma, Dahlia and Jess are starting to play monopoly right now. I think I'll join them, so I have to go now.Thanks again!
