Congrats!Congrats Smith Family! You have been blessed with...Oliwia Anka "Ollie" and Celestyna Marlena "Celly" are twin girls from Poland. The girls were seperated from their parents at age eight. Now fourteen, the girls have had a difficult life. Oliwia has an eating disorder. She is doing ok with it, but will still need help. Celestyna has mild depression. Neither of the girls speak English, but both are eager to learn.Mami Ayaka is a sixteen year old girl from Japan. Her parents and both younger siblings were killed in a tragic plane accident just last year. She has taken to silence, and though she is capable of it, she will not speak. Her only comfort is her pet parrot named Izumi. She will open up in time, but it may take a while.Please update us on how Mami, Oliwia and Celestyna are doing!
