Fedora (3)
Fedora "Dora" is a three year old girl who has been in the orphanage since she was newborn. She is quiet and thoughtful, and likes to play dress-up. Fedora has curly blond hair and brown eyes.Aloisia(4)
Aloisia is a four year old girl who barely ever speaks. She just came to the orphanage a few weeks ago, after she was found alone and beaten in her suburban home. Her parents, her mother in particular, were physically abusive. The night they left, they beat her up very badly. Thinking she was dead, both of them fled the scene. Aloisia is very afraid that her parents will come back one day, so she doesn't like to go out in public. She has many scars and one of her legs is twisted. Aloisia has light red hair and pale hazel eyes

Elena just adores her new little sisters. She loves to play with Dora (who, with her help, we renamed Dalia Simone --Simone is a name from our family) and is very patient with Aloisia (who, with her consent, we renamed Alexandra Pearl --her old name held too many painful memories, and Pearl is a name from our family). Dalia loves our old colletion of fancy clothing and spends hours with her sisters trying them on and putting on fashion shows.Sophia has turned out to be the only person Alexandra will connect with. Alexandra will go out with Sophia into our backyard and play for a little while and recently we took her to the park for the first time. She was scared at first but ended up having a really fun time. We also have started her in play therapy and that seems to be slowly helping. We are all hopeful that she will be able to go to kindergarten when she is six (we think five is pushing it and her birthday is right before the cutoff date anyway).Thank you so much for our new daughters!
