Please welcome 15 new family members:-Milena Caitriona, Elodie Sariah, Gabriella Honour, Eden Nova-Leigh, Annika Janneke, and Bridget Adair are siblings [each born in different countries because their parents traveled a lot]. Milena, Elodie, and Gabriella are triplets, aged 16, Eden and Annika are twins, aged 14, and Bridget is 13. All six were abused by their parents, including sexual from their father. Gabriella is 6 months pregnant, with twin girls. Milena, Annika, and Eden are selective mutes. Milena often cuts herself, and all have severe behavioral problems and trust issues. Milena refuses to talk about the abuse, and she's been known to physically hurt those who try to make her. Elodie will only talk to someone she trusts. Gabriella, Eden, Bridget, and Annika will only talk to each other, or someone they trust. Milena loves art, nature, and water. Elodie enjoys anything dealing with water, and board games. Gabriella and Eden love animals and travelling. Annika likes to write, and anything else dealing with literature. Bridget loves music, travelling, and being around her sisters.-Edmund Felix [19], Ariane Daniela [18], Flora Herta [2], and Lara Mareike [4 months] are from Germany. Edmund and Ariane have been dating for 5 years, and Ariane had Flora when she was 16. Ariane is already 3 months pregnant with another baby, this time boy-girls twins. Edmund and Ariane love being parents. Edmund enjoys fishing, swimming, and watching movies. Ariane likes to swim, surf, listen to music, and animals. Flora loves running around and she's always talking. Lara can't do much yet, but she's in great health. All that Eddie and Ariane ask is that their new babies have German names, honoring their heritage.-Magdalena Lyudmila [f], Zora Nevena [f], Asen Bogdan [m], Chavdar Danail [m], and Marko Plamen [m] are 7 month old quints from Bulgaria. Magdalena seems to be blind, Zora deaf, and Chavdar has a severe heart problem.Please keep us informed on how Milena, Bridget, Elodie, Eden, Annika, Gabriella, Edmund, Ariane, Flora, Lara, Magdalena, Zora, Asen, Chavdar, Marko, and the two sets of unborn twins are doing. -that was a mouthful, lol-

Update-long...Wow, what a delightful change!
Our ship is now quite full and happy.
Lets start with Milena, Elodie and Gabriella:
Due to the circumstances which placed them with us, we have given them all new nicknames to go with their new lives. So they are now Millie, Ellie, and Gabi. Gabi gave birth to Christiane Marina and Margaret Ariel -whom we call Christy and Daisy. Both are sweet, happy healthy girls who are doted on quite a bit. Millie was a bit of a handful at first, it broke our hearts to see her so depressed. She hated most of the men onboard and would run as soon as any came into the room. Luckily, my beloved mother-in-law, Susan was able to break through and now, she is the only one she will speak to. She no longer cuts herself, and while it will be difficult, we see her develolping into a wonderful young woman. Ellie has really adapted to living on a ship. She trusts Dana out of all people and often they will take the late night shifts together. He is very cautious and careful, but at least she is speaking with someone. She also loves helping take care of her little niece's.Dena (Eden) and Nikki (Annika)didn't speak to anyone except each other for a long time. This was alright, they always seemed to get what they needed. Nikki eventually began leaving little manuscripts outside of my cabin and I would write her back. She began to trust me, and now, she still is a girl of very few words, but occasionally speaks with me. Dena began drawing maps of everywhere we had gone and everywhere she wanted to go. We made it a point to go to those places as often as we could. She is a very happy girl, but still won't speak with anyone except Nikki.Jett (Bridget) is best friends with Gabi and loves taking care of Christy and Daisy. She also has made friends with my in-laws and loves spending time with them. She can be angry at times, and has broken a few things. But we know that she will thrive here.We insisted that if Eddie and Ariane were going to live on this ship together, that they allow Dana to marry them.

It's so great to hear from you again! I am glad the children are doing fine and that many are overcoming fears and depression. I'm sure I made the right choice placing these children in your family and positive they will receive the best care possible.
