Congratulations!
Corey Tyler is 12 years old and comes from Vancouver, British Columbia. He has brown hair and green eyes. He is the older brother of Madelyn. Corey and Madelyn were given up by their parents, who were arrested for running a drug lab. Corey likes dogs, football, playing electric bass, and staring at girls in school. He studies at an average level in school. His favorite subjects are wood shop and history. He thinks he wants to be a welder when he gets older, but maybe go to college and study American history. He wants to learn Spanish. He has no disabilities of any kind.
Luis is 11 years old and comes from Guadalajara, Mexico. He has black hair and brown eyes. His parents were killed within the past year. Luis is a very intelligent boy who has grown up in an underprivileged neighborhood. He is a wonderful guitarist and loves to play and write music. He is good at playing marbles and has a lot of fun with that. He speaks Spanish and some broken English. His favorite subjects in school are art and math. He says that when he grows up, he wants to be a pop star like Enrique Iglesias. He wants to travel to many different countries, especially the United States, Japan, and England. He loves to collect pictures and postcards from around the world.
Kilee Makayla is 8 years old and comes from Plano, Texas. She has blonde hair and blue eyes. She was born with a deformed leg and uses a wheelchair to move. She is developmentally above average and has been in the gifted program at her elementary school; she studies at a 7th-grade level. Her parents could not afford to pay her medical bills anymore, as they have six other children. Kilee would like to stay in touch with her parents and siblings. She loves to read books, play video games, watch movies, and play the flute. Her favorite colors are yellow and orange and she would love her bedroom to be painted that way. She is allergic to chocolate and peanuts. If possible, Kilee would love to learn another language. She already speaks English and some Spanish.
Madelyn Olivia is 5 years old and comes from Vancouver, British Columbia. She has red hair and green eyes. She is Corey's little sister. Madelyn loves playing soccer and running around outside. She has moderate ADD and will need medication and some extra attention. She loves being the baby and loves having siblings around her at all times. She has a fiery personality and loves to sing and dance. She likes any food that's fried and likes anything in her room that is pink. She says that she wants to be a beauty queen someday and then be an actress and also Catwoman. She is very funny and likes to make people laugh.
Please keep us updated on the new additions to your family!

Update :)
It has been two years since the children came to live with us and we are happy to report that they have adjusted wonderfully to their new life.
Corey is now 14 years old has just started his first year of high school. Corey and Caleb were fast friends once Corey got settled in and the two have been practically together all the time since then; Luis also tags along with them frequently. Corey got Caleb into the electric bass and Caleb got him into building models. Since our family lived in Mexico for awhile, all of us speak Spanish rather fluently and Corey, along with Kilee and Madelyn, have been learning it.
Luis is now 13 and is adjusting well to life in his new family, though he still thinks about his parents at times. He was able to skip a grade at school and is in his first year of high school with Corey and Caleb. He has continued to improve his guitar playing skills and he and Hunter often play together; Hunter helps him out a lot and teaches him new songs. His English has improved greatly, much like Corey, Kilee, and Madelyn's Spanish. He also taught everyone how to play marbles and now it is one of our family's favorite games; Luis still wins practically all the time though.
Kilee, now 10, is at a ninth grade level like her brothers, but continues to take gifted classes instead of going to the high school. Aside from improving her Spanish, I have also been working with her to learn French and Kilee has enjoyed it. Despite the fact that James thought it would be too bright and hurt her eyes, Kilee was allowed to have a yellow and orange room, which she decorates with various other bright colors as well. Though not personally my taste, it definitely suits her. Kilee has continued to stay in touch with her siblings and parents; she speaks with them at least once every two weeks and has visited them a few times as well. With Kilee's flute, Hunter and Luis's guitars, Corey and Caleb's electric bass's, and everyone else singing, we've formed our own family band of sorts and it's a great activity that we all enjoy doing together.
