We have found you a sweet two year old boy from Mexico to come and live with you. He's called Lorenzo and he speaks only Spanish. He was abandoned by his mother, who left him in a church when he was about one year old. He understands that he's going to live with a new family and seems to be excited about it. He's a pretty smart and independant little boy. He loves playing outside a lot.

Lorenzo is adjusting so much better than we could have anticipated. It hasn't been all easy, I can tell he's still confused when we speak English around him but we plan on him growing up billingual.
Sofia is completely in love with her little brother. She tries to carry him everywhere, unfortunately she hasn't quite figured out that carrying a two year old for her isn't that easy for long periods of time so we have to watch her so she doesn't drop him.
Our family feels complete with Lorenzo.

We've found you three children. One of them is a 15 year old girl from Belgium. She's called Helena Sofie, but she prefers to be called Lennie. She speak Dutch, French and English. She'sexpecting a boy. He will be due in about two weeks after she joins your family. She'll need a lot of support when she'll become a mom.
Here's Lennie with her very big belly:
The other two kids are twin boys. They're 9 years old and are called Mark Jason and David James. They're from Canada and speak both French and English. They used ot be very energetic, happy and active boys, but since their parents died they hardly ever smile anymore. They do like playing sports and computer games.

Mark and David are doing great, we had some trouble in the beginning. But with help of Walter, the boys now have a father figure, which they needed. Ben loves having big brothers and they love to go play outside and play soccer.
Lennie gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. She named him Jesse Cristian. We are helping her a lot with the nursing and parenting. She even goes to school now. She's learning hard to become a vet.
Laura loves helping around the house and being a big sister to Aron and Jesse.
Demi is just a little rascal and a tomboy. She loves to play soccer along with her three big brothers.
We want to thank you.. If you have any children left who also need a safe and loving home, please let us know, we have still room left for two more children. Thanks
ps. We updated the pictures of Lennie, Mark and David..

Thank you for updating on how everyone is doing. You said you had room for more children in need of a home and we have found two kids that would fit your family perfectly. They're one year ols twins Arnold Casper and Tessa Shannon. They were the youngest of a family of seven, and their older sibling and parents died in a plane crash while they were at their grandmother's place. Their grandmother wasn't up for the task of taking care of them and wanted them to be placed in a home with a lot of children, just like what they were used to. They are Dutch and speak only Dutch.
Here's a picture of them, Arnold is on the left and Tessa is on the right:

We have foudn three boys to come and live with you. They're triplets from Brazil. They speak Portuguese, but they're also pretty good at French, since their grandmother was French. They're 6 years old and all of them are very outgoing and full of life. They're called Bras, Rui and Cruz (no MNs). Bras (on the photo he's the one holding the melon) is definately the most mischievous one. He usually uses his charms to get him out of the trouble he gets in. Rui (on the phot he has the white shirt) is the most creative of the bunch, he loves drawing (on everything!) and he jokes a lot as well. Cruz (the middle one) is very impatient and the most active one of the three, he's also the one who has the tendency to get angry really quickly.
Here they are (from left to right: Bras, Cruz and Rui)

Bras, Cruz, and Rui are doing great! they get a long very well with our family, especially the other 6-year-olds. Rui is taking art classes from a friend of ours who speaks Portuguese, Bras has discovered he loves cooking, so me and him do a lot of that. Cruz loves dancing around to music, and generally being by himself. They are the perfect edition to our family.
Thanks,
Noemi, Asher, and the kids.

We have found you three children that need a home. They're all siblings, two boys and a girl. The boys are 4 year old twins and their sister is 10. The boys are called Heath Lucan and Leif Herod. Leif is a bit quiet and shy, Heath is more outgoing, but they're very much alike besides that. Their sister, Juliet Anemone, is extremely shy and doesn't speak at all. She stopped speaking when her parents died. If she really needs something, she'll write it down rather than say it. She loves animals and was excited to hear that you have two dogs. They're from London originally, but lived with their grandmother in Birmingham, since their parents died 2 years ago. Now their grandmother is getting to old to look after them, and they're in need of a new home.

It has been two years since we were fortunate to be able to bring home a sibset of three children- Juliet, Heath, and Leif.
Julie, as we have nicknamed Juliet, has made great improvements over the last two years. At first, it was very hard for us to have her here and for her to not talk to us- for the first few months she wouldnt even write to us to tell her what she was feeling or what she needed. We think the best thing for her has been our dogs. Although, I believe Christopher helped her a lot too by sitting with her for long lengths of time just sitting- when finally she opened up and talked to him. Julie loves the dogs and Gandolf especially. Gandolf has taken to sleeping with Julie at night and loves to follow her around. Julie has done quite well in school- especially now that she is talking. She doesn't have many friends, but because she and Damian are in the same class at school, he has helped her become quite popular! (He's always been a sociable boy!) Damian and her have gotten along quite well too. And Anika adores having a big sister to follow and play with.

We have found 3 children who will come to live with you. Two are brother and sister. Nona Josephine, the girl, is 6 and Jochem Christophe is almost 2. They are from Belgium and understand both Dutch and French. They were abondoned by their parents last year. No one has heard from them since then. Nona is a lively girl and very sweet. Jochem can be a bit mischievous, and is almost always happy. nona is very excited about getting older brothers and sisters.
Here are Nona and Jochem:
We also found another child that needed a home. He's almost 1 and from China. He's called Tai-Kun. He is very quiet and calm. He doesn't laugh much, but doesn't cry much either. He has been in an Orphanage since he was born, because his mom died while giving birth to him.

These children are both wonderful and adorable!! Thank you so much for giving them to us. It has been 1 year since we have received them.
Nona is enjoying every bit of being both an older and younger sister. All the kids get along great. Although when we first got them we talked to the children in French we started talking to them in English also. Nona is learning fast and is almost fluent now.
We have decided to call Jochem Chris instead because it was alot easier on everybody including him. He is adjusting well to everything. Though he is not as fluent as Nona, he can talk in some English. He is as mischievious as you said and is always getting into trouble. He also enjoys his new older brothers and sisters.
We have also enjoyed having Tai-Kun with us. Though he was very quiet when we first got him, he laughs and cries as much as any child his age now. The kids also enjoy having him around. He is learning how to talk and Nona enjoys teaching him with some help from Chris.
Thank you again for these amazing children.

We found you a boy to come and live with you. He's 1 year old and he's from Spain. His name is Santiago. His mother gave him up for adoption, because she couldn't take care of him anymore. She's very ill and there's no hope she'll get better at all. Santiago understands Spanish, but not English. He's a very bright kid and very quiet as well.
Here's a picture of little Santiago:

Thank you for blessing us with Santiago. We took one week off work to get to know him, and now that we're back to work, we leave him with Cat's mom. On Tuesdays and Thursdays when Cat's mom has bingo, Cat is able to take him with her to work. He is a very well-behaved child, and nobody minds having him around. The other teachers watch him while Cat has classes, so it's as if Santiago is being raised by the entire math department, the poor child! He is settling in very nicely after missing his mommy for a few weeks. He still misses her, but he's very young and bounces back fast.

We've found you three children to come and live with you. One teen father and his baby, they're from Chicago, and a 10 year old girl from Ukraine.
The teen father is called Irish Jaxen, he's 16 and only just became a father. The baby's mother didn't want to have anything to do with the baby, so Irish is has sole custody of him. The little boy is called Phoenix Jaxen, he'll be exactly one month old when he comes to live with you. Irish comes from a very problematic home situation. Both his parents were alcoholics and when he was 13, Irish decided to leave home and he lived on the streets for a while. His parents have passed away not too long ago, and he's looking forward to having 'real parents' as he calls it.
Irish and Phoenix:
Vira comes from Ukraine and lived in an orphanage there for 3 years. She's quite a happy person usually, but she can get very angry as well, then she's scream and slam doors. She was thrilled to find out she could be adopted and getting a little brother and sister. She speaks a bit of English, but not quite enough yet to be able to have a full conversation.

Dear Mar,
I can't believe it's been a year already.
The children you sent us are perfect, we adore them every bit as much we do Shawn and Kaleigh.
Irish came to us more openly then we could've imagined, and little Phoenix is the most beautiful boy out there. Irish is a wonderful father/brother and Shawn idolizes him. It's not unusual for me to come down stairs and Irish already has everyone ready for school and pre-school sitting at the table eating. Everyday he, Kyle, Shawn, and anyone else that wants to goes to a field near our house and play's football,soccer,baseball,you name it. He also plans to attend the Univerity of Alabama when he finnishes the Christian accademy he's in.
He has a steady relationship with a girl named Annissa. They truly love each other and plan to get married when they turn 20 in 2 years.
Vira has been a complete joy. So much in fact that we gave her the middle name Joy. Although as you said she can have a temper she also one of the sweetest girls we know. She taken to being a big sister better than we could have hoped and everyday she comes and try's to teach Shawn,Kaleigh,and Sometimes even Phoenix what she learned in school. She is taking a class to help her english but with help from everyone at the house she's almost fluent.She looks up to Irish as well and says that when she get's older and has a baby she's going to name it after him(Kaleigh says the same thing so sometimes there are fights over it)
Thank so much again. We love these children and can't wait to watch them grow.
Love,
Lorraine and Kyle

We have found you two girl to come and live with you. Giuliana Rosalia is 15 and she's pregnant. She was abused by her stepfather, who eventually got her pregnant. She'll need help with dealing the events in her past, as well as help raising her baby. She's from Italy and speaks Italian, but she's also fluent in Spanish and speaks a bit of French.
This is Giuliana:
The other girl is Delphine Rolande. She's French and speaks only French. Her parents died in a car accident when she was 3 (she's now 4). She is very shy. She both excited and afraid to come live in a house with so many people. She did say to us that she had always wanted a big sister, so at least she got that wish :)
Here's little Delphine:

-Liana (Guiliana) is adjusting superbly. She is in therapy biweekly (every other week, twice a month) and is adjusting with great speed. I have been homeschooling her and will continue to do so until she can speak adequate enough English to enroll in the local private school. She has recently given birth to boy-girl twins whom she named Filippo Tancredi and Allegra Viola, and they are very healthy.
-Delphine is quite a joyful child. She was shy at first, but she has plenty of other girls to keep her company. She and Nessie, our 5 year old, have bonded a lot and they requested to share a room. Delphine seems to take an interest in dancing, so we enrolled her in ballet and gymnastics. She likes it so far and is having a blast meeting other kids and can't wait to attend a birthday sleepover for one of ehr dance buddies. She has said she enjoys being in a larger family and she could stand for a few more siblings!
Thanks for blessing our family with Liana, Filippo, Allegra, and Delphine!

We have found you 3 children. They are Jillian Ashley (15) and Scott (17), a couple. They are expecting their first child. She's due in three weeks. Jillian is an orphan and Scott's parents kicked him out of their house.
Also because of problems at home Scott's little brother will join them. His parents gave up custody of him and Scott. He's very upset by the whole situation, but is looking forward to having a little brother and sister. He's not really looking forward to becoming an uncle, because he thinks that Scott won't pay attention to him anymore. His name is Ken (and hates to be called Kenny) and he's 7.

Dear Mar,
On behalf of our family, I would like to most sincerely thank you for bringing these wonderful people to us. Our lives have changed so much over the past month and we have never been happier or more complete.
Lia (as Jillian prefers to be called nowadays) has been such a brave young woman, it is hard to believe that she is only fifteen years old. Having the support of Scott has really helped her. He's been so wonderful and so in love with both Lia and their beautiful daugther. Baby Marissa Imogen was born two weeks ago, a week early after an easy birth. The doctors were all thrilled with her and said that she was a very healthy, very strong little girl. We're all immensely pleased and she's already charmed us all. Sunny hasn't stopped talking to everyone who will listen (including the dog) about her "widdle lista". That translates as "little sister" to you and I. She's quite enamoured with Lia as well, her new "fat lista".
