Dear Briar Lane Adoption Agency;
It has been six months since we adopted five children from the Agency. They are adjusting slowly but surely.

---

Natasha (now sixteen) is a surprisingly good mother to her twin girls. We find that she has more in common with new moms and mothers of pre-schoolers than teens her age with no children. Natasha cares very much for her girls. Currently, she has a tutor and next year she will enroll in the community college and get a bachelors degree in accounting. Natasha has also been taking music lessons and is doing great with them.
>>>Natasha's identical twin girls; Eva and Annie are now eight months old! Both girls are developing normally and can sit up, roll over, and they coo and make noise all the time. Eva is very protective of Annie and becomes angry if the two become separated. Annie is coping with her deafness very well. We have a therapist come to our house twice a week so that Annie can live as normally as possible. We just finished installing warning lights that flash when someone rings the doorbell or when the phone rings. Annie is already noticing them and she likes pointing to the lights.

Bart has had the worst time adjusting. He is disruptive in class and has a very short attention span. We are contemplating schooling Bart at home until he matures a little bit. Trevor takes Bart out once a week for 'guy time'. I think Bart will be fine in another few months.

Kammy (Kamila) still keeps in contact with her father through letters. We would like to have her here for another year or two before we allow her father to visit. However, they talk on the phone frequently. Kammy loves to tell jokes and is the class clown in her preschool class.

Sincerely,
The Johnson Family
Trevor and Anna
Natasha, Bart, Kamila, Eva, and Annie.
