Welcome Bolek and Kornelia Bolek Edward is a four year old boy from Poland. He has brown hair and brown eyes. Bolek and his sister, Kornelia were given up for adoption because their parents could no longer afford to take care of them. They would still like to be able to talk to Bolek and Kornelia ocasionally. Boley is an outgoing boy who loves meeting new people. Bolek likes cars, cats, dogs, and hanging out with his little sister. Kornelia Malina is a three year old girl from Poland. She had brown hair and hazel colored eyes. She was given up for adoption for the same reason her older brother was. Kornelia is much quieter than her brother, but she also very sweet. Kornelia likes dolls, cats, and disney. It would be great to hear how the kids are doing

Thanks so much!Bolek has had a legal name change to Benjamin, to honor his new grandfather. He's very happy in his new home and is in love with Diesel and the kittens! Kornelia is also having a lot of fun with the kittens and has taken them under her wing (which Bridget has so kindly allowed). Kornelia and Bridget are getting along wonderfully, and Bridget is loving the "Big sister-little sister" role! David and Ben get along well also, but there are plenty of little spats (to be expected... they're 4!). There seems to be a bit of a blank between David and Kornelia; I think David thought one girl was enough. We plan on teaching them how to ride Chrome and Pegasus once they turn six (Bridget's already doing well with them).

Welcome Alessandro, Dante, Matthias, and Osman Alessandro Cosma is a fifteen year old teen father from Italy. He has dark blond hair and gray eyes. His parents died three years ago and Alessandra had been in foster care with his little brother. A year ago Alessandro's girl friend gave birth to a baby girl they named Alessa. Only a few weeks after taking care of the baby she left Alessa with him and never came back. Alessandra is quite responsible for his age. ALessandro likes cooking, watching tv, and hanging out with his one year old daughter. Dante Edmondo is a thirteen year old boy from Italy. He has light brown hair and green eyes. He is Alessandra's little brother so he is in foster care for the same reason his brother is. Dante is outgoing and loves having fun. Dante likes skating, riding bikes, and playing video games. Matthias Silas is a twelve year old boy from Greece. His has dark brown hair and brown eyes. Matt has been in foster care for two years since his parents could not take care of him. They would still like to be able to contact him sometimes. Matt is shy but is very bright. Matt likes reading, watching tv, and movies. Osman Umut is a eleven year old boy from Turkey. He has tan skin, dark hair and dark eyes. His parents gave him up for adoption because they no longer had the money to take care of him. Osman and his parents would still like to be able to contact each other. Osman is bold and somewhat outspoken. Osman likes sports, hanging with friends, and tv. It would be great to hear how the boys are doing

Thank you so much!It's been a while.Alessandro and Alessa are inseparable. They do everything they can together. He also spends time with Matthias and Osman.Dante is often aloof from the other boys, since he has very different interests, but tags along with our girls. Despite his typical masculine interests, he is the only one who doesn't mind going to the mall - as long as he can check out the video game department :D.Matthias and Osman had antipathy towards each other at first, due to historic Greek-Turkish rivalry, but we successfully convinced them that it's been many years since that time and they should be friends instead.Matthias contacts his parents semi-regularly, and he has become more outgoing. We are going to visit his hometown in a few months.Osman had the hardest time settling in. His opinions are quite strong, and can be quite extreme when he is upset. and we couldn't find a mosque. So we bought him a prayer rug and put it in his room. He contacts his parents once a month.

Thank you so much! Anya (we've changed her legal name to Anna) and Fedora (with her approval we've changed her name to Elena, to avoid teasing about hats) are such joys. Charlotte loves having two sisters near her age to play with, and Sofia is thrilled (usually) to have more little sisters to dress up in her costumes. We have adopted two more kittens named Leo and Hope, and all of the girls adore them. Anya and Elena have been dictating letters to their parents with Aleksander's help, but they are adjusting very well. Both girls are learning English quickly and love to talk. They've made friends with some of the neighbors' children and love to play at the park with them. Anya and Elena are both enraptured with Sofia and Charlotte's collection of dolls, and Anya has discovered a love for finger painting. Elena recently discovered the joys of swimming, and we plan to enroll her in swim lessons the instant she turns five (which is the minimum age for the lessons).Thank you for giving us our youngest daughters! They are a perfect fit into our family.
