DD: Miriam Jeanne (4)
DD: Ayodele Chausiku Louise (1)
DCousin: Valerie Anne Dupont (21)
--DS: Aaron Carl (3)
Exactly a year has passed since our family adopted Ayodele Chausiku. We have kept her first name, partly because we think it sounds beautiful, and also because we have found out it means "Joy has come home", which is exactly the way we felt when she arrived. Her nickname is Ayo, but she's also called Ayo-Joy in the family. We added Louise to her name, which next to Miriam and Jeanne is my favorite girl's name.
Ayo-Joy, Miriam and Aaron are all within three years of each other, and they enjoy playing together so much. Leolin, who is 8, is usually the ringleader and likes to decide what they all will do. But it's Miri who enjoys playing with Ayo the most, she likes to be the big sister for her.
Valerie speaks French to Ayo; we are hoping she will be able to speak it when she grows up so she can communicate with her Aunt Lola, who has visited us once already.
Thank you so much for completing our family!

-Zola Tatiana is a 16 year old mother of Sibyl Jane, who is 3 months old. Zola has black hair and blue eyes and she and Sibyl are from Russia. She enjoys playing her guitar and writing songs, rock climbing, swimming, running, reading, math, and old movies. She doesn't take being a mother lightly and wants to provide for Sibyl the best she can. Zola has an older sister, Milena Feodora who is 21, who she would like to be able to keep in contact with somehow.
Keep the agency updated on how Zola and Sibyl are adjusting.

Dear all,
Thank you so much for finding us Zola and SJ. Our family feels complete since their addition.
The transition has been remarkably easy and Zola has become integrated into our family with startling ease - she's a fantastically friendly girl. She seems to really enjoy being a part of a large family and has taken a shine to her younger siblings. She especially loves to help me with Tilly and Juno so that she can see how I look after them. It's great fun looking after the three little ones with her and we have a great laugh together. It's lovely to have another adult in the house - we won't count Robbie!
Zola and SJ currently stay in the guest accomodation that is attached to our house. They each have their own bedrooms and bathrooms, a spare bedroom (for when Milena or a friend come to stay) and a living/eating/cooking area. This allows Zola to have a lot of freedom so that she can effectively raise SJ by herself but means that we are right next door to help out wherever necessary. Indeed the pair eat with us at mealtimes and spend most of their freetime in our house. Z loves the house and spends a lot of hanging out in the various rooms. I often find her with Robbie (they've become firm friends) in our converted attic music room having a jam session or in our barn where we have inserted our own climbing wall. Either that or taking all the kids to the swimming pool. She's a great big sister, obviously drawing upon the example of her biological sister Milena who stays in France. They chat on the phone every night, email constantly (so Milena can see SJ on the webcam) and Milena comes to stay about once a month, more if she can. She's also great and clearly cares a lot about Zola and indeed the entire family.

-Vera Yekaterina is a 16 year old girl from Russia. She was assualted, resulting in a pregnancy or a little boy who she named Aleksei Grigori, who's now 2 months old and healthy. Vera enjoys writing, reading, running, swimming, old movies, acting, and dance. She suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a result of her attack and would benefit from talking with a psychiatrist.
Keep us updated on how Vera and Aleksei asjust.

It has been one year since the adoption of Vera and her son Aleksei was finalized. They each have their own bedroom, though Aleksei's is very close to Vera's to help her feel more comfortable.
Vera has been seeing a psychiatrist for about 10 months now. Her PTSD episodes are much fewer and far between. Vera seems to really enjoy going with us on camping trips. She says the exercise and fresh air help her feel calm and safe. Aleksei loves camping because he gets to eat smores! He has a strong sweet tooth.
Eli has been getting along fairly well with Vera. He thinks of her as a big sister, which also means he has his moments where he dislikes her intensely. All in all, they get along better than expected. Eli and Alek get along great. Eli is already teaching him about throwing balls and catching them. He says Alek is going to be a great baseball player.
Elly and Vera seem to have a very close bond. Vera loves helping around the house and being a mommy. Elly loves being a nana. Because of Vera's PTSD and Aleksei, Elly felt it was best to homeschool Vera until she graduates. Then she can choose to go to college or not.

-Maximilian Soren, Alexandrine Gisela, and Corinna Ingrid are eleven year old triplets from Germany. Maximilian loves biking, hiking, basketball, baseball, and anything outdoors. He's outgoing and outspoken. He doesn't like school and his grades are usually just enough to get him to the next grade. Alexandrine is artistic and expressive. She draws well, sings, enjoys photography, studies languages, and plays several musical instruments. She prefers solitary activities. Corinna is an academic overachiever and hopes to graduate in about four years. She loves math and science and plans on majoring in something dealing with one of them. She loves being around other kids and hopes to one day have a large family.
Please keep the agency up to date on how Maximilian, Alexandrine, and Corinna adjust.

Our family is mixing quite well, Zoe our eldest naturally is very outspoken and has taken to the triplets well. She and the girls Alexandrine, who we call Alexi, and Corinna, "Cori", all share the big bedroom up stairs next to the boys Max, Hayden and Brayden.
Max and Hayden have several things in common and are both on the same little league baseball, football and soccer teams. Brayden seems to take a small offense to this because after all Hayden is his twin not Max's twin. I tutor Max in his studies so that he does not "just get by" any longer.
Alexi is enrolled in the gifted and talent Arts program through school and she has started to learn the flute to add to her already several talents of playing the piano, harp, cello, violin, and piccilo! Zoe and her take vocal lessons and instrument lessons together.
Zachary the baby of the house seems to love all three, but however Raina is not adjusting well to them at all and so to help this I make sure that I spend as much time during the day when everyone is at school with her and Zach alone.
Corinna has expressed wanting to graduate early, my husband and I have talked about this and have come to an agreement that she can not graduated until she is 17. She has high ambitions which is wonderful but we want her to have a "normal" teenage experience. We have enrolled her in advanced classes and allowed her to take some correspondance classes with a university when she is 14. We also arranged for her to be a volunteer at the medical lab in town since she told us she wants to go into Disease Research.
That is our family for now.

-Twins Zachary Daniel and Camille Maren, aged 2, and 8 month old Lilah Beatrise are siblings from the U.S. Zachary is a very healthy and happy little boy. He enjoys being around people and loves doing anything active. Camille is quiet and is shy. She gets very uneasy and panics when surrounded by people and often prefers solitude. Her doctor believes her constant isolation may be connected to an emotional disorder, but she's very young so he is unsure. Lilah has hearing problems but her doctor believes it can be corrected by hearing aids. Their father died not long after Lilah's birth and their mother died of cancer, leaving no relatives able to adopt the kids and keep them together.

Thank you for bringing Judith who we now call Judy and Peter into our lives.
They are both doing very well, though it was a bit tough going during the last month of Judy's pregnancy, as she had pre-eclampsia and was put on be rest, but we were very happy to discover when she gave birth that it was twins, one boy and one girl. At first she still didn't know what to call them, but she settled on Shauna Christine and Lincoln Forrest. She's been unhappy in being shut up in the house to help look after the twins, but is still very glad to be a mother and understands it is her responsibility. She is catching very quickly in school, afterall she is an overachiever. She has started playing basketball and dancing again and thinks she may try out for the swim team in the fall if she gets back into good enough shape.
Peter took a little longer to adjust, as he didn't quite know how to make friends at school, but made great strides by joining a rec-league basketball team and the praiseband at church. He and Owen have started up a language xchange with Peter teaching Owen Hungarian and French and Owen teaching him Spanish. Riley has been tagging along making a general nuisance of himself but Peter has taken him under his wing in true older brother form, so there is quite a bit of bickering, but they get along well.
The biggest problem really was that Monica felt she was getting ignored and being only three years old that was very difficult for her, but since Shauna and Lincoln have been born she has been able to "help" with them and has felt more included. All in all our family has come together quite nicely.

-Clara Mirella and Viviana Zita are five year olds from Italy. They have brown hair and green eyes and are small for their age. They both love music and the outdoors. Clara is outgoing and pretty talkative. She loves to socialize with anyone and doesn’t mind being the center of attention. Viviana prefers smaller groups in quiet settings and doesn’t talk a lot. She’s very shy and sticks with those she knows. They love water activities, music, and both like the idea of having more siblings.
-Amabel Maren is a newborn from the United States. She was born premature and has respiratory problems as a result. It’s not a lifelong problem and should correct itself over time.
Please keep the agency updated on how Clara, Viviana, and Amabel adjust.

Thanks for joining us with Clara, Viviana and Amabel.
Clara and Viviana were a little clingy towards eachother at first. After a while they have become a bit more independent, but they still love to play together. Clara and Vivi share a room with Magnolia who is 4. They have become good friends and sisters, and they all love listening to me playing the piano.
Little Amabel is doing very well, and seems to have settled in well to her new surroundings. Felix, Clara, Vivi, Nolie and Violet love playing with her and helping us dress, bath and feed her. After a visit to the doctors, he said Amabel is doing very well and her respiratory problems are beginning to clear up. Amabel shares a room with Violet, which she loves!
All of the children are doing well and are getting on with each other.

-Adisa Kayin is a six month old boy from Nigeria, Africa. He has slight hearing problems, but nothing too serious. His parents are 13 and 14 years old and can’t afford a child.
-Mai-Tri Sukhon is two years old and has Vietnamese, English, Thai, and Indonesian backgrounds. She enjoys dancing, singing, and being outdoors. She loves being around people and can’t wait to have other kids to play with. Her mother didn’t want a child but doesn’t believe in abortion, so Mai-Tri was put up for adoption.
-Akemi Kumiko is a one year old girl from Japan. Her parents were killed in an accident leaving Akemi with no relatives to care for her. Akemi doesn’t understand why she hasn’t seen her parents in so long. She loves to dance, play with other kids, and is soothed by music.
Please keep the agency updated on how Adisa, Mai-Tri, and Akemi are adjusting.

It has been two wonderful years since Mai-tri, Akemi and Adisa joined our family and the children are now 5, 3 and 2 years and 6 months old respectively. Leon and i were both pleasantly surprised at how quickly the children settled down. The three are now inseparable and go around all day together playing and chattering a mixture of languages. Mai-tri is the clear leader of the group and she rules them with an iron fist! Thank you for blessing us with three such gorgeous children :)

-Kristen Pearl and Blake Thomas are two-year-old blonde brown-eyed twins. They love playing outdoors and dread rainy days. Blake seems to love trying sports and dancing to music. He is very active and talkative. Kristen is calmer and enjoys seeing new sights. She enacts well with others but knows how to entertain herself. She doesn’t talk anywhere near as much as Blake but isn’t afraid to put her two-year-old’s two bits in. Their mother is an 18 year old girl, raised Catholic. She believed her children would be better off in a more stable environment, but would like to stay in contact with them in any way possible. The father is out of the picture.
Please give the agency an update on how Kristen and Blake adjust.
