in reply to a message by Gracie
Natalie Jewel is a 7-year-old girl from Camden, New Jersey. She has blond hair and blue eyes. Her parents couldn't afford to keep her, so they put her up for adoption. They would eventually like to see her. Natalie likes dolls, music, and candy.
Ashlee Tayler is a newborn baby from rural South Carolina. She has no hair and blue eyes. Her mother was 14 years old when she was born and was neglecting her. The baby daddy refused to see her. She has no interests yet.
Patrick Andrew is a 9-year-old boy from Charlotte, North Carolina. He has red hair and blue eyes. He was taken away from his parents because they were abusing him. Patrick is outgoing, but can be very loud. He likes football, talking, and dogs. He has a female dog named Mya, who gets along well with cats and dogs.
Ali is a 13-year-old boy from Djerba, Tunisia. He has black hair and light brown eyes. His family was originally from Tunis, but his parents were killed by terrorists there, so he was moved to Djerba. Ali broke his leg severely in the same attack and now needs crutches to walk. He likes swimming, writing, and cooking.
Habib is Ali's 5-year-old brother. He has black hair and dark brown eyes. He likes swimming, dancing, and eating.
Carmen Ana is a 16-year-old girl from Guadalajara, Mexico. She has black hair and black eyes. Her parents couldn't financially support her when she was little, so they gave her up for adoption. She contacts them occasionally. Recently, Carmen found out that she was pregnant. She likes playing the maracas, dancing, and watching TV.
Xavier Louis is a 15-year-old boy from Reno, Nevada. He has brown hair and light brown eyes. His father left the family and his mother is too poor to take care of him, but would like to contact him. He likes football, rock climbing, and snowboarding.
All children speak English (as well as their native language if it's different), except Carmen, who speaks only Spanish.

Thank you for the wonderful additions to our family, all are doing well.
Natalie settled right in, though she still misses her birth parents greatly. They remain in contact though, and she's going to visit in a few weeks. She has started learning how to knit and wants to make clothing for her dolls. She helped Carmen a lot in learning English and learned a lot of Spanish herself in the process. Carmen started out at the local high school, after taking an intensive ESL class and is getting involved with the dance department since she had her baby, a beautiful baby boy she named Enrique Nicolas. She helped out a lot with Ashlee, now a todler with blond hair, who loves the animals, and is fascinated with Enrique. Helping out with Ashlee made it so Carmen knew what to expect with Enrique. When she graduates, Carmen plans to go to community college and become a nurse so she can give Enrique a good home.
Ali had surgery on his leg and after physical therapy will be able to walk without crutches, though he will still have a limp. He hopes to join the swim team then, because he will be able to be competitive when his leg is better. He and Habib spend a lot of time at the YMCA in the pool. Habib has also started allowing Carmen to show him a few basic dance steps, and he wants to start classes at the Y in the spring.
It took a while for Xavier to adjust to life in the country but he's settled in, and has made the football team, and plays tight end. He's really excited for the winter when he should be able to smowboard with just a short drive north to the slopes, and he will be getting his driver's license soon.
