Our Family
The Thompsons
Wil and Lydia
Noah (18), Bekah (17), Marina (14), Jason (9), Clemmie (8), Katelyn (8), and Chloe (7)

Jason, Clemmie, Katelyn, and Chloe are adjusting well. There have been a few roadblocks, but we're doing well.

Noah isn't home much because he's away at college. Bekah has been sort of like a second mother to Chloe and the pair has become very close. Marina likes having some younger siblings around and she's been helping them with homework and has even started taking dance classes so she can help them practice. Jason has been having a good time at our house. Since we live fairly close to the adoption agency, he and his sisters have been able to attend the same school. Jason is still doing ballet. Some of the neighborhood boys teased him about it, but Marina and Bekah straightened them out. Clemmie and Katelyn have switched places on us more than we care to count, but now they are starting to be themselves. Clemmie is starting to face her emotions and sometimes suffers mood swings. Katelyn still supresses her emotions, but draws on Clemmie for strength. Chloe still throws angry tantrums, but they've lessened as she and Marina have gotten closer. We enrolled the girls in beginning dance classes and they are doing good. We are also continuing to provide counseling for all four of the children. Jason doesn't need it too much anymore, but his sisters feel very secure when he goes with them to counseling sessions.
