Re: Julia's Adoption Agency
Congratulations to Tom, Leonor, Rory, Camden and Iris!We have found you four children.Jasmine Elise is a 6-year-old girl from Perth, Australia. She has brown curly hair and bright blue eyes. She loves to play outside and run around but can be tempted by a good book as well. She is shy but warms up to people fairly quickly. She is extremely excited to have three big sisters to play with!Leo Robert is Jasmine's little brother. He is 4 and has blond hair and green eyes. He loves to do anything that Jasmine is doing, especially involving balls of some type. He also loves to listen to music.Evangeline Isabel is a one-year-old girl from London. She has light brown hair and big brown eyes. She is mildly hearing impaired and should be fitted for hearing aids soon. She loves to cuddle, and also really enjoys looking at picture books.Matthew Simon is a 3-year-old boy from the United States with black hair and grey eyes. He has cerebral palsy and wears leg braces, but he still loves to run around with his endless supply of energy. He is very bright and loves to be read to, especially books about trucks.We hope you enjoy your new children! Please let us know how Jasmine, Leo, Evangeline and Matthew are doing.

ETA: thanks for running this! It was great funDear Julia, We'd just like to say thank you so much for finding us four delightful children to complete our family. They've all fitted in so well that it feels like they've always been a part of our family.Rory, Camden and Iris have initiated Jas into their little gang and the four of them are as thick as thieves. Luckily for me they all love playing 'house' and help plenty with all the cleaning, cooking and childcare! They especially dote upon Leo and they are currently helping Tom build a treehouse (sorry, I've been told it is 'gang headquarters'). Jas is especially excited as she tells us she's never had a proper garden before so ours with its giant trampoline, jungle gym, slide and swing set seems like heaven to her! She's even learning to ride a bike with the help of her big sisters.
We decided that it was important that Jas and Leo formed a close bond as biological siblings and so we have enrolled them in football (soccer) classes together. Leo is particularily appreciative of the time with his big sis. Like Jas, he's in heaven here at the house - he almost went purple with excitement when we showed him the attic music room. It's full of musical instruments (guitars, a piano, a harp, a flute, a violin) and big squashy armchairs to listen to music in. I'm currently teaching him some guitar chords and he's catching on extremely quickly!
Matthew is doing great as well although initially he seemed a bit daunted by all the girls! He's been seeing a speech therapist and is rapidly improving. This weeks new words are 'Jaguar', 'Ferrari' and 'Lamburgini'. Hmm... He's especially bonded with Tom's brother Oliver who owns a garage.
