SO: none (see "other info")
Children:
>>>Malachi Matthias is 16 years old. He is in a wheelchair due to a fractured spine (his father stabbed him when he defended his sister) but loves to play wheelchair basketball. He may walk again with treatment.
>>>Adelaide Natalia is his twin sister. Her father raped and beat her when she was younger. The only person she trusts is Malachi. She is a selective mute, but we have reason to believe that she talks to her brother. She is a piano virtuoso.
>>>Hope Malia is a 15-year-old from Hawaii. She was also raped, but only once, when she was 12. She got into trouble at school (now we hoomeschool her) and she has trust issues. She loves embroidery and biking.
>>>Waitimu Jengo "Wai" is a 10-year-old from Ethiopia. Polio attacked him and disabled his right arm and both legs. He's in a wheelchair but loves playing basketball with Malachi and Whitney. He is emotionally sound and very smart.
>>>Wyatt "Whitney" is another 10-year-old. He was in a crack house but we know nothing about his past as he refuses to talk about it. He is just learning how to read and is teased brutally even though he's homeschooled too. This causes him to get in many fights; he and I are struggling to correct that behavior. He loves basketball and biking.
>>>Anne Gabrielle "Anna" is 6. She witnessed her mother killing her father and now is afraid of all strangers, especially adults. She has a hard time adjusting to new things but has been doing okay as new family members come in. She loves animals.
>>>Sofia Linnea, 5, has severe cerebral palsy and is in a wheelchair like Malachi and Wai. She also has hearing aids and an artificial voice generator. She is very smart and loving, though, and loves just about everything! Sofia especially loves reading, and learning to read alongside Wyatt.
>>>Katariina Johanna "Kaia" is 3 and from Estonia. She was abused by her father, who is now in prison for murder. She is also a selective mute, although occassionally she'll say something like "water" or "tired" etc, in Estonian. She has not learned to speak English but she understands it. Deathly afraid of men, but plays well with children. She loves dogs.
