Jessica Anne and Jennifer Marie are 14 year old identical twins from Australia. Both Jessica and Jennifer have cystic fibrosis. Jessica and Jennifer's mother and father died in a car accident last year and none of the other family thought they could take care of the girls because of the Cystic Fibrosis. Jessica likes drawing, reading, and writing. Jennifer likes singing, dancing, and reading.Adam Joseph is a fifteen year old boy from Australia with Down Syndrome. He was recently put up for adoption because it was discovered that his father had been abusing him. Adam has severe emotional problems because of the abuse.

Thanks!6 months after adoption:Jessica and Jennifer have adjusted nicely. They have become very good friends with our daughter Dahlia and they like to hang out together. Jessica was very happy to find out that her new father is an artist, because she loves drawing and is quite talented. Jennifer is taking singing lessons and is attending a book club in her school . The twins' physical health has been quite good, Jessica has been in hospital once because of a lung infection but is now better. We hope that with the proper treatment the girls can have a happy and long life. Adam likes to be called "AJ". He and his three friends from special needs school have a rock band. He also enjoys playing video games with his new siblings. AJ still has some emotional problems because of his abusive background, but with the help of his therapist he's feeling much better now than he did before.Peter has had a hard time adjusting, but has finally found his place in our family. He's actually very proud of being the big brother, especially to AJ who really admires him. Peter's dream is to become a movie director someday. Peter is having therapy and medication for his bi-polar disorder and depression, and although he sometimes has hard times, we believe that he can live a good and productive life. He will always have a loving family to support him.
