Help[Games] Update + 2nd application
in reply to a message by Norah
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!

We did some research, and found out about Avery's problem. It turns out that their was an incident on halloween a two years back. It was late and both kids were trick-or-treating alone for the first time. A man pulled up in a car beside them and tried to get Avery to get in the car. This traumatized Avery, and he is afraid of being out alone at night.
We also have two new kids for you!
Cecilie Jytte is an eight year old girl from Denmark. Her older brother recently passed away, and he had been taking care of her. She speaks only Danish, though she wants to learn English. She loves to sew, and has made a few small dolls which she treasures.
Abigail Marietta is a fifteen year old girl who is due with her baby girl in a few weeks. Her boyfriend immediately took off when he found out she was pregnant. Abby is very excited nonetheless, and wants to name the girl Irena Janine, after her mother. Abby likes to play board games, and cannot wait to teach Irena one of her old favorites, checkers.
Please keep us updated!

Thank you for the information on Avery, lucky it came when it did, because Halloween is a big deal in our house but this year, we will be celebrating and trick or treating before it gets dark!
Cecilie and her dollies have made quite an impression on my family. We are all working hard to pick up Danish and Ashton seems the best at it. She is always with him teaching him new things to say. She has made a dolly for each of us and they all look just like us! I must say little Cory's is the cutest, with Avery's close in second.
Abigail gave birth prematurely, probably due to the stress of moving in with us and all the kids. Nevertheless, the baby is healthy but small. Janine Katherine is a sweety and her mummy loves her to pieces. Although she likes that she has several hands to take Janine when she wants to go somewhere.
Thank you for all your help, our kids are all perfect fits!
