Child(ren) living with you (names, ages, interests, disabilities):
-AS: Mikhail Sergey Arievich "Misha" (10), adopted from Russia at age 3 (from the same orphanage as Julia and Ari), loves anything to do with flight and robotics(wants to be a pilot or an aerospace engineer, possibly in the Air Force) and being a doting and protective big brother, no disabilities
-AD: Eliora Tikvah Cohen (not Roth) (8), adopted from Israel at age 4 (father was Ari's best friend in the Israeli army and passed away from a malignant brain tumor), loves ballet and playing music (though can't seem to settle with a single instrument), still a slight bit of emotional disabilities resulting from her father's death but those are lessening daily (still goes to therapy once a month with extras as she needs)
-AS: Lucas Elijah "Eli" (6), adopted from the US at age 5 (was abandoned at the hospital Julia works at with a bad asthma attack), loves reading and writing, wants to be a journalist or a TV news anchor, has mild to moderate asthma and always carries an inhaler
-AD: Carolina Susanna "Lina" (6), adopted from the Catalonia region of Spain at age 4 (on a visit by Julia, Ari, Misha, and Liora), loves to run around and always has a lot of energy, was born partially deaf and has hearing aids, but is already pretty good at reading lips and using sign language (but can still speak, just hard to understand for newcomers)
-AD/AS: Sofie Katrijn/Cornelius Adriaan "Kees" (3), adopted from the Netherlands (officially about 4 months ago), they are very mischievous and love joking around, are still learning English, but are gaining the ability fast
Others living with you (names, relations): No one at the moment, though one set of grandparents lives closeby
Pet(s) (names, species): Blackhawk, a chocolate lab (named by Misha of course), Shiri, Liora's Egyptian Mau cat, others in the future
Location: An large estate in Virginia, near Washington DC
Do you travel often? If so, where to and how often: Yes, frequently (as allowed by the kids' school schedule), at least once a year to Israel and to Russia, and all over the world
What is/are the household’s religion(s): Judaism, mainly, as both Julia and Ari were raised Jewish (as well as Misha and Liora more so), but all the children are free to decide if they wish to change in the future.
