Re: Norah's Adoption Agency
Congrats Jennifer and Matt, you now have two lovely new children in your family!Althea Preston is thirteen years old and is very personable. She enjoys being with children her age, and is very poised when talking to adults. Her favorite activity is shopping, but she is a very good basketball player, and enjoys that as well. Althea serves as her younger sister's translator too.
Leslie Preston is six years old, and deaf. She is improving her sign language skills, and enjoys being around people. She is a very fast runner and has often expressed wishes to be on a track and field team. It would be fairly essential that you and your family learn some basic sign language, simply to take the pressure off of Althea.
Please keep us updated on the sisters!

The girls are doing great!Althea is fitting in so well! She and Liz have quickly becom friends and they love shopping together and Liz is so excited to finally have a sister. Leslie is also fitting in well, even though it is more difficult for her. Nick loves having a sister his age and they love running and playing together. She just joined Nick's soccer team and is the fastest kid on the team! We are quickly learning sign language and Leslie has been very patient with us. Thank you for placing these lovely children with us, and we are willing to adopt 2 more, if there are any more children available.Thank you!

Yes, as a matter of fact, there are.Jonathon and Deidre are ten year old twins. Both enjoy watching and playing football, though Deidre is a tad bit better at it! They were in another adoptive home together, but they were returned to us after the parents decided to go world-traveling. Both would really like a stable, loving environment - and I'm sure you can provide that! Again, update us! PS - I'm glad Leslie and Althea are getting on well with your family!

Thank you for matching us with Jon and Deidre. They are doing very well with our family. Jon fits right in with his brothers and has just started playing rugby, which he really likes. He is having some trouble in school, but we're working on it.Deidre, although she doesn't like shopping as much as her sisters is fitting in well with our family. She loves spending time with her dad and they seem to have hit it off. She's doing great with her siblings and loves sharing a room with her sisters.Althea and Leslie are still doing great. They love their new siblings and we are now fairly fluent in sign language.
