Congrats to
Lily and
Daniel, as well as all their children – we have found you a son!
Mikhail Maiorov is a 14-year-old boy born in
London to Russian parents.
He speaks good English, but his mixture of Russian (from his parents) and British (from his hometown) accents is quite recognizable.
Mikhail has a difficult time attaching to other people,
especially adults, as his parents figured he could raise himself and he spent a lot of time on the streets.
He is very independent and intelligent, though his academic grades wouldn't show this!
He is quite the lady's man but has kept his virginity even through his street life. We think that he will really enjoy
Winter's company and may be able to learn how to dance with her and
Victor. We're not sure how he will get along with
Kathryn.
It may be difficult to reach
Mikhail at first.
He likes to keep his distance from adults and usually refuses to obey. However, the reason we chose him for your family is because we believe that
Jim's mental disability will make him a little more approachable to
Mikhail – and by that we mean that perhaps since
Jim is an adult but acts like a child,
Mikhail will reconsider his prejudice of adults and maybe have a better time around them.
Being the strong, athletic boy he is, we're pretty sure he will love playing and wrestling with your dogs.
He has shown a huge love for big dogs like that, and maybe being able to spend time alone with them, when he can't attach to the human members of your family at first, will feel more at home.
He tells us that he would like to keep his surname, Maiorov, as a middle name, but wouldn't mind if you would like to give him another middle name.
Thank you for bring
Mikhail into your home! We love him very much and are very happy to see him finally get a real family. Please update us!
