Sariah Coralie and Siobhan Cordelia are 13 year old twins from England. Both are selective mutes after they were repeatedly abused by their mother and put into foster care a year ago. Sariah likes to play the piano, travel, and paint. Siobhan plays the violin, likes to draw and read, and play soccer. Both girls have beautiful singing voices, and will open up to you when they trust you. They will be a bit apprehensive toward you due to the abuse by their mom, but just make sure they know you're here to love them, not to hurt them any further. Be sure to keep us updated.

Welcome into your family twins:
Malachi Matthias and Adelaide Natalia are 16 year old twins from Illinois (USA). Malachi is wheel chair bound because of a severed spinal cord which left him paralyzed from the waist down. With all of today's technologies, however, doctors think that he may be able to walk again someday. He enjoys art of any kind, reading and writing his own short stories, and anything dealing with the outdoors. Adelaide is a selective mute and has trust issues. She loves to play the piano and might be the next Mozart! Adelaide is a selective mute and has hard time with trusting because she was repeatedly raped and abused by her father. He got so out of control one night that he stabbed Adelaide (from which she fully recovered) and when Malachi came to her rescue he was stabbed also (which left him paralyzed). Their father killed himself right in front of them. Because their mom died three years previously of cancer, and they had no next of kin, Malachi and Adelaide were put into foster care the next day. Both children need to be reassured that they are loved, and with your family, they will. Please keep us updated!

Thank you! 3 months later:
To Ryleigh's Adoption Agency:
Thank you so much, Ryleigh, for allowing these two wonderful teenagers to enter our home!
> Malachi has been doing pretty well. It took him a little while to get comfortable –presumable for post-traumatic stress – but now is doing very well. Although in a wheelchair, he has been allowed to join the high school basketball team and actually does very well. It was intimidating at first for the other players to play along side a wheelchair, but Malachi's winning personality shown through and now they love him. He has become quite the lady's man, with many friends to hang out with. Of course, that's very important to a 16-year-old boy, so we're very glad.
>As for family, he's also been doing well. He has especially befriended Wai and Whitney, who both needed a male role model. They often go to the park to shoot hoops. You'd be amazed at how much those boys look up to Malachi! Anna seems to avoid him a bit, but Malachi adores Sofia and Sofia adores Malachi. Kaia and Andreas are still warming up to him. And Thea loves him, of course! She loves everyone.
> Adelaide, unfortunately, isn't doing as spectacular. We don't argue, because she doesn't talk, but I can tell from her eyes and body language that she doesn't trust me at all. The only person she does trust is Malachi – obviously because of him standing up for her when their father stabbed her. I have reason to believe that she talks to him when they're alone, but he doesn't say anything (probably because she made him promise not to). I am homeschooling her, as I am Anna, Kaia, and will homeschool Andreas. We have a piano for Adelaide, and she spends hours playing. It must be her release, her only way to be heard. This has improved her state considerably.

Patience Abigail and Adelaide Patricia are 2 year old twins from Montana (USA). Their parents were victims of a hostage incident at a bank a year ago; unfortunately there was no next of kin. Neither have any real interests, due to their young age, other than playing dress-up and playing with dolls. Patience and Adelaide share a border collie they found shortly before they were adopted. Someone better name it soon!
Please keep us informed on how Patience and Adelaide are doing.

Here's an update!
Thank you ssoo much. Patience and Adelaide are having such a great time enjoying the family. I try to let them know what happened to their biological parents, but who knows if they understand. They decided to name the border collie Cocoa and they absolutely love it. They are starting to have a personality and they deffinetly enjoy dress-up, playing house, playing with the dogs and pretending Maddison is there mom. I'm ssooo glad we got so lucky and now have the best family in the world. Patience started dance lessons and Adelaide started gymnastics while they both have began swimming lessons. Thank you ssoo much again!
P.S. They have now just turned 3 and were so happy to have a birthday party!

Thanks you so much! Ira and Carey are doing very well. Carey wanted to change her name because is was so close to Carly and Cate. Carey is now Rosaline Meadow. Ira wanted to change his name, too. Ira is now Oliver James. Nicholas and Oliver get along great. Oliver and our neighbor's son Morgan Tucker play hockey together. Oliver is going to play baseball at his school next year. His favourite museums is the National Museum of Natural History and National Air and Space Museum in the Smithsonian. Rosaline, Carly and Cate get along pretty well. They fright like sisters. Rosaline loves to go shoping with Carly and Cate, which they don't mind. She is taking dance lessons. She has many new friends, Morgan Oliver's friend, has a twin sister; Leanora. Leanora and Rosaline get along get. They both take dance lessons. We got Rosaline a singing teacher and she very enjoys it. She wants to take playing the paino, so we will be get her another teacher. Nanny Jensen loves both Oliver and Rosaline. Since we all are getting along so well, we have decided to go on a family vacation to Italy. We are going to go to Rome. We will stay about 2½ weeks.
Thanks again!
