Dear Brulee Family,

---

We have found seven darling girls for you to adopt. Their names are Kiana Leilani, Rosabel July, Colette Joy, Rivka Shayna, Zahra Aubrey, Michaela Rose, and Rowan Laurel. Kiana is from Hawaii. She has been on the streets for as long as she can remember. Rosabel is from England. She and her sister Colette were removed from an abusive relationship with their single father. Rivka is from Israel. Her parents thought it best that she grow up in a place where she didn't have to worry about wars all the time and staying safe. Zahra, Michaela, and Rowan are sisters from Australia. Both Zahra and Michaela are allergic to peanuts, and this has kept many families from wanting to adopt them. The girls' parents died in a boating accident six summers ago.

Kiana is eight and a half years old. She is a beautiful little girl, well suited to modelling. She enjoys playing with friends and practicing on the flute. Kiana did not begin formal schooling until last year, but she is already almost caught up to third grade level. She has a pet ferret named Lilo (after Lilo and Stitch). Lilo can be a little mischevious, but is an all around good animal.

Rosabel is fourteen. She is very afraid of men, and likes going to a place where she can surround herself with lots of sisters. She is very smart, but often keeps things to herself. We recently gave Rosabel a journal to write in, and she has been doing well with it. Rosabel likes to play field hockey.

---

Colette is eleven. She is Rosabel's younger sister. She does not particularly like men either, but is a bit more trusting. She can't wait to start playing soccer. Colette isn't really good in school, but she's very athletic and gets along well with people. She'd like to try tennis out too, it you have time.

---

Rivka is nine weeks old. She is an adorable baby with very Jewish features. Rivka is not very fussy and seems to have adjusted well to being without her mommy and daddy.

---

Zahra is twelve years old. She is mature for her age, and very conscious about what she eats due to her peanut allergy. Zahra likes organic foods and has been toying with the idea of becoming a vegetarian. She does well in school and looks out for her younger sisters.

---

Michaela is nine years old. She is also allergic to peanuts, but tends to forget this fact. She likes the smell of roses and is quite outdoorsy. Michaela doesn't like school, but she will try if you ask nicely. Michaela can be easily distracted. She was diagnosed with ADHD when she first arrived here, but she really isn't all that bad. She is just a very active kid.

---

Rowan is eight years old. She likes to tag along behind her older sisters and is fond of dancing. She particularly likes ballet and has been dying to go see the Nutcracker. Rowan has also been diagnosed with ADHD but, like Michaela, is not really hyperactive--just active.

We hope you enjoy your new children. Please send us an update on how they are doing!
