in reply to a message by gabriellagrace
Alyona Tamara is a 5-year-old girl from Russia. Her parents died in a car accident, and she and her siblings were put up for adoption, since they had no other family. She likes to dress up and play with dolls. Tamara has straight blonde hair, green eyes and fair skin.
Larisa Feodora is Alyona's 4-year-old sister. She too likes to play with dolls, but she is a fan of hide-and-seek. Larisa loves to run towards birds and scare them into flying away. She has straight brown hair, green eyes and fair skin.
Igor Aleksey is Alyona and Larisa's 1-year-old brother. He likes the colour green and playing with balls, and is just taking his first steps. He has straight brown hair, blue eyes and fair skin.
Chaim Elkan and Maor Yehiel are newborn twins from Israel. Their teenage parents gave them up for adoption since they couldn't take care of them. They don't have any interests yet. Their parents would like to see their growth through photographs and maybe letters. Both Chaim and Maor have brown hair, brown eyes and slightly tanned skin.
Céline Margaux is a 3-year-old girl from France. She was abandoned at the doorstep of an orphanage, and nothing is known about her parents. She is very shy and likes reading picture books, sweets and flowers. Céline has way black hair, blue eyes and fair skin.
We would be delighted to hear how the children are doing.

After finding out we were going to have to go to France, Russia, and Israel we didn't know where to start. We ended up going clockwise starting in Russia. When we got to the orphanage Ally (once Alyona now Allison Tamara) and Leah (once Larisa now Leah Marie Theodora) pounced up on us. They were very glad to be going home with their "mama" and "papa". Igor (once Igor Aleksey now Igor Alexander) was a little more hesitant but soon followed in his sisters' footsteps. We all happily left the orphanage and went to a hotel where the rest of the kids were wating for us. The kids felt right at home with their five siblings but felt it was still two quiet. Three days later we headed to Israel to get Yonatan (once Chaim now Yonatan Chaim) and Zachariah (once Maor now Zachariah Maor). When we got to Israel we put the kids with my parents immediately went to the orphanage. Ally, Leah, Cara, and Tallie played dolls, Igor took a nap, Julie, Tim, & Andy played a game of soccer. At the orphanage we were handed Yoni and Zach and told we could leave right away. On the way home from the hospital we picked up a few presents for the kids. The kids were delighted as they were told these were presents from the boys. After about a month of bonding Julie, Igor, and I flew to France. Everyone else went back to our home in Amsterdam. When Julie, Igor, and I arrived we went to our hotel for the night. The next morning we set out to pick up Maggie (once Celine now Margaret Cecelia). Maggie was confused when she saw us because she'd been told that we had ten children. After getting an explanation she happily went to the hotel with us. We spent about two days in the city and they took a train home. Now six months later I can't imagine my life without them. Soon we will be leaving for a contintent wide adventure. If you want to be kept posted just let us know. We would love to adopt a little boy (5 or under) from anywhere in europe while we're on the trip

Your Adoptee
Rafael Martín is a 4-year-old boy from Spain. His parents contracted the swine flu after a business trip to Mexico, and recently passed away, thus making Rafa go into foster care. Rafael is shy at first sight but extroverted when he gets to know people, and loves to play games like tag and hide-and-seek. He also likes fairytales and football (soccer). Rafael has straight brown hair, brown eyes and slightly tanned skin.
We would be delighted to hear how your newest addition, as well as the other children, are doing.
