Help[Games] Congratulations Anastasia and Gerald!
in reply to a message by Ranchie
Please welcome Christiana Louise "Chrissy" (9) and Irena Clare (7). Chrissy and Irena are both from the Midwestern United States. Their single mother was killed when their home was robbed one year ago. Their father was sent to prison when the girls were 6 and 4 respectively, after he was found guilty of physically abusing them and their mother. Both girls have been in counseling since their mother died, to deal with both her death and their abuse. It will be important that therapy be continued.
Chrissy is clearly the big sister, as she sees it as her responsibility to care for Irena. She is very poised with adults, though reserved. Though she finds it fairly easy to make friends, she is a little nervous about having more siblings! She wants to be a doctor when she grows up, and enjoys writing. Chrissy is tall for her age and has blond hair and dark brown eyes.
Irena is painfully shy. Even when she feels close to someone, she is very quiet around them. The only person she has felt completely comfortable with since her mother's death is her sister. The only way she would speak to the social worker at first was through playing with dolls together. She loves dolls and takes very good care of them.
She has blond hair and blue eyes.
Please let us know how the girls are doing in your family!

Chrissy and Irena are doing great. They are both still in counseling but are doing great now.
Chrissy's nervousness about having more siblings flew straight out the door on day 2. She is the oldest being 3 months older than Henry and loves taking care of all her little brothers and sisters. She has been doing very well in school and has made many friends.
Irena is still pretty shy but she is doing better. She and Lilly are in the same class and for the first few weeks she only was comfortable with Lilly who she took to very quickly for her because they found that they like to play the same games. Now she is more comfortable at school though still one of the shy kids.
Henry, Lilly, Nic, and Alex are loving having more siblings as they are used to being in a big family. It took a little while for Lola to trust them and for them to trust her but they get along fine now.
