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

-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.
