Puja Indrani
Age: 3
Interests: dollies, dancing, building with blocksAbout: Rescued from the streets of Calcutta, this little girl is ready for a new home. Transition may be difficult, food, language (Speaks fluent Bangla, but seems to understand some english), culture etc. but we think you are prepared to handle it.Let us know how Puja adapts to a new culture!
vote up1
Margaux and Puja Crewe have grown in to a tight knit family. At first, both struggled with their respective transitions (single woman to working mother and a young girl in a unfamiliar setting), but they have adjusted nicely. Margaux has now quit her job as CEO and is collaborating with schools to promote international green living awareness. While her new job has less income, it allows her more time with Puja. Puja has learned English within the past six months and is maintaining her knowledge of Bangla. She has had a difficult time due to diseases contracted while in Calcutta, but due to medical attention Puja is now healthy. Margaux enrolled her in an International school as well as a ballet and rhythmic movement class. The small Crewe family hope to instill traditions from Puja's home country in their home. They are doing well and looking forward to happy times.

Congratulations!Jenna Alexandra and Jasmine Aurora
Age: 16
Interests: boys, shopping, anything not school relatedAbout: Living in various foster families over the years has been difficult for these girls. Beautiful blonde twins, they have similar interests and are best friends. We think they will do well in your home because Jenna was recently diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and Jasmine is having severe symptoms of PTSD after an unhealthy relationship that ended earlier this year.Thalia "Tally" Rachel
Age: 7
Interests: Horses, Biking, PhotographyAbout: After being left at an orphange in England when she was three, Tally has been known to cause trouble. We don't think its chemical, but we know she will need someone to love and 'understand' her.Please update us on the girls social progress!

-Jenna and Jasmine are adjusting as best they can given their previous living conditions. They both like the idea of being part of a family and not just being 'another foster kid'. Jenna has one of the rarest forms of Bipolar Disorder: Ultra-Ultra Rapid Cycling Bipolar Disorder. She has been seeing a psychiatrist (it'd be akward for me to) and, although Jenna's refused medication, is doing very well and seems to have everything under control. Jasmine has refused to talk to a psychiatrist or anyone but Jenna about what happened during her relationship with her ex. Both girls are getting along fine with Tally and the rest of the family and are finally starting to adjust to their new lives.
-Tally doesn't have a disorder, she's just a trouble maker! Jenna and Jasmine have managed to keep her in line and entertained. Tally can usually be found with her camera slung aroung her shoulders outside viewing the landscape, or sometimes sneaking pictures of the family. Since we have a lot of land, the girls will ride their bikes through paths behind the house, or they'll play basketball together. Tally has taken up piano lessons. She (apparently) already knows some things about music and since Adam and I both minor in music, we help her however we can.

Congratulations!Marika "Marky" Delilah and Jerome Alan
Ages: 4 and 3
Interests: Marky-dollies, dress up, anything pink! Jerome-trains, pretending (usually animal related)About: After being abandoned by their father shortly after Jerome was born, their mother died tragically in a car accident. They have been living in a foster home for the past 1.5 years (they lived with their elderly grandparents for a few months prior) but it wasn't a good fit and we have been searching for a family for them. Marky is more quiet and Jerome is fun and busy. We think they will adjust well with your children, but we encourage you to give them new names, especially now when they are young.Please update us on Marky and Jerome!

We are more than happy about the two beautiful children welcomed into our family!Marky and Jerome (or as we have renamed them, Annie and Ben) have been adjusting very well recently. We renamed Marky, Anna Delilah, keeping her middle name but changing her first name. We prefer to call her Annie. We renamed Jerome, Benjamin Alan, keeping his middle name. But we like to call him Ben. Annie really likes playing with Gracie and Gracie has really enjoyed having a sister. Ben really likes playing with Sammy and Evan. Evan likes being the big brother to Ben. We really enjoy having Annie and Ben in our family.

Age: 12
Interests: Reading, Exploring, Hiking and HistoryIan Robert
Age: 9
Interests: Running, Swimming, and more running ;)Isaac Malone
Age: 13
Interests: Culture studies, Sports, Boating (all kinds)About: None of these kids are related. Because you did not indicate a specific age, we searched and found kids who matched your lifestyle. Ian seems to have some learning difficulties, but we think that a small school will help with his individual needs. All the kids have lived in group homes around the United States and will need some time adjusting to a 'family' lifestyle. They are all willing and we think, fully capable of traveling and keeping up with your activities. Please send us an update on how Lizzie, Ian and Isaac adapt into your family!
