Congrats to Elise, Brandon, and Tallulah Smith!
Mathieu Olivier is a ten-year-old boy from rural France. He was living with his grandparents until his grandfather died of old age and his grandmother (immobilized from a stroke years ago) couldn't handle Mathieu anymore. She was always a very stern woman and did not get along well with her grandson; continuing communication is not necessary. Mathieu is a little hard from living with his criticizing grandparents for so long, but with luck, he will be fine eventually. We know from our experiences with him in the home that he loves children, so hopefully with Tallulah in the house he will warm up faster. Mathieu prefers to speak French but is nearly fluent in English from school, though he has a thick accent.
Alixandra Coralie is a five-year-old girl from Lancaster, England. She is a beautiful, hopeful young girl; however, she was in the car when a truck spun out of control and rammed into the driver's seat. Alix was knocked unconscious -- when she woke up in the hospital, both her parents had died. She is very traumatized by this experience. She only talks when necessary, and doesn't seem to realize very often that other people are around her. We believe that this will fade in time. Alix will need a lot of comfort and love to get through these tough times though. The head injury resulted in her vision being impaired; this should be able to be corrected with a heavy glasses prescription.
Peter Ansel is a seven-year-old boy from Chicago, USA. His parents are divorced. He lived with his mother on a skid row until he was four. She was less than caring and often neglected Peter. When the police found out, he was taken to his father. Now his father is in the last stage of cancer and cannot take care of his son. Peter and his father would like to stay in touch until his father passes on. Fortunately, Peter is a very religious boy and does not seem extraordinarily depressed by this (well, any more so than any 7-year-old would be at this time) and is determined to get on with his life until he "sees Papa again at Jesus' feet." He will be a joy to have around!
Good luck with your new children, and god bless!
