Bethel and Landon had alot of trouble adjusting to our lifestyle. We tried giving them each their own bedrooms but that was a bad idea. Things would go missing or be broken and hidden in the mess that they lived in. I would clean as much as possible, but they have trust issues and got extremely upset if I picked up their rooms for them. We ended up putting Bethel in with Amy and Delilah; who didn't mind, and Landon in with Ashton and Damion. Now they all keep an eye on each other and I think the twins are happier too. Bethel plays Lacrosse at the local school and Landon has been in several shows in our nearby community theatre.

Harriet and Avery jumped right into our family. Harriet loves Cory and carries him around everywhere. This suites Avery fine enough because she has someone else to look after. The three of them are frequently at the library reading to one another, its very sweet. For some reason however, Avery won't go outside after dark, neither one of them will say anything about it so I think it has to do with why they needed to be adopted. Is there anyway you could help us figure that out?

Oh, and you can count this as our second application, we would love either more infants or perhaps a pregnant teen mum. We would also love a child, preferably between 7-10 from a differnt culture who speaks a differnt language: our family needs a challenge, as if raising this many kids isn't a challenge already!
Thanks again!
