Your Adoptee!Griffin Anthony is a fifteen-year-old boy from Australia. He seems to be a little schizotypal, thinking that he heard people talking to him and having eccentric habits. He has been transferred from one foster family to another, but many can't handle his strange temperaments. However, he does seem to have a talent for the arts, as he is known to be almost a prodigy with the piano and is brilliant with strategy games.

A year later...It took some time until Griffin found his place in our family. He had been in so many foster homes and didn't immediately believe that he was going to be a member of our family permanently. His schizotypal personality has caused some difficulties, and he was hospitalized once when he had quite bad paranoid episode. With his new medication, therapy and support from our family he's now feeling quite good, but still has his problems. We have encouraged Griffin with his hobbies and interests, and we are still suprised how talented pianist he is. Few months ago Griffin played in a concert where they raised money for a children's hospital, and made all of us very proud.
