Help[Games] Re: Non-Traditional Family Congrats Round 3 + note (finished!)
in reply to a message by britto08
With adoptions, will it ever be possible to choose to adopt twins/other multiples/siblings?
UN: Cassandra Grace Logan
Type of Family: All-adopted/mostly adopted (leaning more towards all ATM)
LN: Roth (though DW occasionally uses maiden name listed below)
DH: Ariel Shai Roth "Ari" (35)
DW: Dr. Julia Sergeyevna Ivanova (31)
--DS: Mikhail Sergey Arievich Roth "Misha" (8) - (Russia)
--DD: Eliora Tikva Cohen "Liora" (6) - (Israel)
--DD: Carolina Susana Roth "Lina" (4) - (Spain, Catalonia region)
Eliora has been doing pretty well since she started therapy following her arrival to the United States. She's had some nightmares on and off that cause her to wake up crying and screaming a bit. Usually in the few minutes that it takes Julia or Ari to get to her room down the hall, Misha's already beaten them to calming her down.
The two kids get along great. Misha has been teaching Liora, as he still calls her, a bit of Russian and she's taught him some Hebrew in return. Having them at the same school has also helped - Eliora knows where Misha is during the day if she gets scared, since she's had some of the same culture shock he had when he started. Auntie Julie and Uncle Ari, as Eliora has been calling them, even enrolled her in a ballet class and she's taken to it very well. It was great for them to see her make some new friends. Misha walks her to the community center after school for class, where he is enrolled in a science/robotics activity.
After Eliora's first grade year (and Misha's third grade year), Ari and Julia took the kids to Spain for a few weeks for vacation. One thing they did while they were there was visit an orphanage to bring some supplies and throw a special party for the kids. They didn't expect it, but they ended up falling in love with a little 4-year-old named Carolina Susana. Lina was born partially deaf, yet was still a vibrant happy little girl. She knew a bit of English and some American Sign Language that one of the workers had taught her, and was learning how to read lips. The adorable little girl got along great with Misha and Eliora. Evidence includes the picture below of her playing in a box with the two of them at the orphanage before they left.
