Hello, Mrs. and Mrs. Adler! You'll be adopting sisters Esme Florence and Phoebe Imogen. Phoebe is 6, and Esme is 2. They have lived in foster care for the past year after their mother's arrest, and she has offered them up for adoption. When she does get out of jail in seven years (when Phoebe and Esme are 13 and 9), she will be allowed to visit them on special occasions (such as holidays and their birthdays). Phoebe has had a rough time adjusting to everything and will need extra care. She is shy at first, but be gentle and patient and she will open up to you. Esme is naturally bubbly and chatty and will not need quite as much help as her sister, but don't take that to mean she needs less attention. She is still very young, and it's important she forms strong bonds with you.

Good luck, and please keep us updated with how they are doing in their new home!
