We have four kids for you!Riley Jacob [16], Caitriona Elodie [15], Emmett Wesley [9], and Christian Fredrick [4] are all siblings from London, England. Cate was raped by her step-father and is very emotional about this. She is quiet most of the time, and would like a bedroom close to Riley's, if that is possible. She is frightened of physical contact, and is only comfortable around Riley. She likes to read and listen to music. Riley is very protective of all of his siblings, though he feels a special bond with Cate because they are the oldest. He was beaten severely by his step-father after he tried to defend Cate and the littler boys. That was only last month. He enjoys being around his sibs, and likes to read to them and sing. Emmett lacks self-confidance because of the verbal abuse he received from his step-father. He is quiet and doesn't like to be alone. His best friend in the whole world was killed in a bus bombing last year, and he is devastated by this. Emmett likes playing the oboe, and also helping take care of his little brother. Chris is a sweet, innocent young boy who is always happy and optimistic. He loves being around adults and misses his mother (who was killed a few months ago) very much. He hasn't yet realized that he will never see her again though. Chris likes singing and dancing, and especially being with his big brothers. Please keep us posted!Edited because I forgot Cate's middle name.
