[Games] Your Adoptees
in reply to a message by Eris
Congratulations! We have found three children for you that are in need of a new home.Isabelle Mae (15), Mackenzie Dawn and Elizabeth Rose (12) are sisters from Vancouver, BC. They have been in the foster care system for a year, following the discovery that their parents were abusing them. All three girls were abused for several years, and often have nightmares and trust issues. Their parents have since lost all parental rights. Isabelle has wavy brown hair and brown eyes, while fraternal twins Mackenzie and Elizabeth each have curly brown hair and blue eyes. Isabelle is a sporty teenager, she especially enjoys figure skating, soccer, hiking and playing various board games.
Elizabeth is fairly quiet, and enjoys reading, writing and sewing.
Mackenzie is the extrovert of the sisters, enjoying dance, music and cooking.Please update on how the girls are doing in their new home and how they're adjusting.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's now been a year since we adopted the girls. They all have adjusted greatly to their new life.Isabelle plays in girls' soccer team and has made some very good friends there. She also goes to figure skating in winter and she enjoys when we go hiking as a family. It took her some time to trust us and to be sure that we'd never abuse her or her sisters, but now she is a well adjusted member of our family who really enjoys when we do fun activities as a family.Libby and our foster daughter Anna have become best friends. Anna wants to become a fashion designer when she grows up and together with Libby (who has amazing sewing skills) they have designed and made some clothing for themselves and their sisters. Libby also goes to book club in her school and dreams of becoming an author. Libby still sometimes suffers from nightmares and nighttime anxiety because of her past, but she's been in counseling and nightmares are much less frequent now. It also helps that our cat Wildrose immediately fell in love with Libby and often sleeps with her in her bed.Mackenzie has started taking dancing lessons and she's really enjoying it. She has made lots of friends in school and loves to hang out with them. On weekends she often cooks the family meals with her dad and loves trying new recipes. She wants to become a music teacher or a chef when she's grows up. She's well adjusted to her new life with us and loves that there's never a quiet moment in our house.DW: Therese Amelie Roseau (42)
