HelpRe: Bopperlynn's Adoption Agency
in reply to a message by bopperlynn
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.
