Thank you!6 months have past.Matvei is learning English quickly. We are also learning Russian. He joined the baseball team at the local community center.

Welcome Maria, Lyric, Melody and Connor!Maria Araceli is a baby girl from Mexico, whose parents were killed in a boating accident shortly after her birth.

Her parents were Catholic, but she has no religion of her own just yet.Lyric Forte and Melody Legato are three-year-old twins from Delaware. They both have brown curly hair and green eyes, and are almost identical - but Melody has a mole on her cheek that Lyric does not. Their mother is a drug addict who can't care for them, but would like to establish some form of contact with her daughters in a few years time, when they are older. Lyric is the louder twin and enjoys dolls, dressing up and anything associated with High School Musical or Hannah Montana. Melody is shyer and loves animals, cartoons and being outside.Connor Phillip is four years old and from Scotland. He comes from a Catholic family and hopes to bring his dog Whiskey, a Golden Retriever, with him to his new home. His father died fighting with the army, and his mother is dying from a long-term illness. Connor enjoys learning, animals, nature and making things.

Welcome Carlie, Aoife, Christian, Max and George!Carlie Rose is a newborn girl from Vancouver, who was abandoned by her parents. She has auburn hair and blue eyes. She has no interests yet and is very small because she was born premature. She has no disabilities that have been observed so far.Aoife Kathleen is thirteen and from Ireland. Her mother and stepfather had problems with alcoholism and drugs and could therefore no longer care for Aoife and her three half-siblings. The three half-siblings (two boys and a baby girl) have gone to stay with their father's mother. Aoife would like to remain in contact with them and with her mother if it is possible. She likes reading, old movies and music, and aspires to be a doctor. She was raised Catholic, but has decided to become non-religious.Christian James is seven years old and from South Africa. He is energetic and loves colouring, painting and watching cartoons. His parents were killed by terrorists on a visit to the Middle East. Christian has mild Attention Deficit Disorder but is working on controlling his condition.Max Vincent and George David are four-year-old twins from Toronto, Canada. They speak English and recently lost their parents in a road accident. They are very close and generally quite quiet, preferring to have just each other's company. They enjoy being outside, swimming and being read to.Congratulations on your new family members!

Thank you! UpdatesIt's been almost a year and the children are really getting comfortable in their new home.Carlie Rose is doing great. The doctors have been keeping a close eye on her, but no problems yet. She started talking quite early and has become quite social. She does love dress-up and our daughters Isobel and Vivien take great delight in dressing her up in the frilliest, pinkest outfits they can find. Aoife Kathleen is at the top of her class at school and is showing signs of a potential doctor. We all think she will make a great doctor. Aoife has managed to make occasional contact with her half-siblings, usually through e-mail and sometimes over the phone. Her mother visited a few months ago and it was an emotional reunion. As for religion, she is currently classifying herself as an Agnostic and we will support her every decision.Christian James has been a bundle of fun. He easily makes friends and he and Isobel especially have spent many hours together outdoors. We are working with him, his teachers and his doctor to manage his ADD and so far he's been coping well. He recently expressed interest in knowing how his parents were killed -- he knows they're dead, just not why. We have avoided the terrorism talk and told him that their death was "an unfortunate accident".Max Vincent is shy but swimming is definitely his comfort zone. He always begs to go to the pool, and he loves his lessons. He and George are almost always found together. Max has not made a lot of new friends at his school, but he's fine with it seeing as he has George and also Isobel and Vivien, who are close to his age.George David has become the more outgoing of the two but is still quiet. He and Aiden have developed a special bond, George wholeheartedly considers Aiden his older brother. We hate to break George's heart when Aiden leaves in a few months (his mother has found work), but luckily Aiden and his mother will be living nearby and can still visit George. Thank you for these amazing children!

Etsuko is bubbly and kind, and loves learning, reading, cooking, and other children. Her parents died when she was younger and her ageing grandmother is no longer able to take care of her. Her grandmother lives in Tokyo and would like to stay in contact with Etsuko if possible.Simon August is a newborn boy from England, and Harry David is his four-year-old brother. They recently lost their parents in a car accident, which they were also involved in. Harry has some emotional issues from the accident - he is very nervous and sometimes wets his bed. He is very protective of his younger brother, and enjoys reading, sports and being outdoors. He speaks English, and Simon cannot yet speak.Patton Grace is a twelve-year-old girl from South Dakota. She is very girly and loves makeup, drama, clothes and pop music, but is also interested in medicine. She lost her parents recently in a fire and has not spoken about the incident much. She grew up in the same apartment block as Izzy (below) and the two are quite close.Isadora Jemma Michelle is thirteen and passionately hates her full name, preferring to go by Izzy. Izzy loves music, especially alternative music, and is interested in Goth/punk fashion. Izzy's parents died in the same fire that killed Patton's mom and dad. She is Patton's best friend, though they are very different.Congratulations on your new family members!

Thank you!Kaori and Remy have:
Sarah, Izzy, Patton, Etsuko, Harry, Daxton, and SimonIzzy's legal name is now Izumi Julienne Matilda. We replaced her old name with new names, same initials, and she can still go by Izzy. She likes having a Japanese name. Patton wanted one too, so her new name is Patton Grace Hikari. Sometimes, she'll go by Kari, but normally she is just Patton.Simon and Harry were both given Japanese names as well. They are now Simon August Kazuki and Henry David Kaito "Harry". Harry still wets the bed, but it's happening less frequently. Etsuko was given an "American" name, her legal name is now Etsuko Maren. The family calls her Suki. She is learning English very quickly, since she is surrounded by it. She and her grandmother "visit" via Webcam, but it's difficult due to the time differences. The family will go to Japan this summer, and Suki will get to visit her in person.We offered Sarah a Japanese name, but she said she didn't want another name. So she is just Sarah Charlotte. She's coming out of her shell a bit more, now that she isn't surrounded by violence, but is still quiet. She has made a few friends, and even has her eye on a girl at school. We'll see how that goes. ;]Thank you for these children!

Welcome Billy, Bethany, Mario, Zach and Elise!Billy Graham and Bethany Caroline are five-year-old twins from Manchester, England. Both are partially deaf and were abandoned by their parents at birth. In addition, Billy is asthmatic. Billy is a typical little boy - he loves running around, and aspires to be a footballer. Bethany is tomboyish also, and loves animals, but she doesn't like playing very rough with her brother.Mario Gino is seventeen and originally from Italy, but has lived in England since he was eight and speaks good English as a result. He ran away from home at age thirteen, and had trouble with drugs since then. His long-term girlfriend, another runaway by the name of Laura, died recently from a drug overdose, shortly after giving birth to the couple's only child, Zachary "Zach". Mario has been clean of drugs for six months and enjoys hip-hop music, watching sports and caring for his son.Zachary Vincent "Zach" is the son of Mario and his late girlfriend Laura. Zach is three months old and as yet cannot talk or walk, but he loves to smile and shows good signs of development.Elise Fleur is a newborn baby from Belgium. Her mother was killed shortly after her birth and no father can be traced. Elise has no hobbies or interests yet.Congratulations on your new family members!

Billy has joined the football team at school and Bethany loves to play with our pet dogs Chappy and Monkey.Mario is also doing fantastically and is doing a good job of raising young Zach. Whilst he does miss Laura from time to time and has had low days, Mario is doing great. Both Zach and Elle are learning rapidly, picking up new words and phrases every day. They seem to be in competition with each other, just like twins.
