Welcome Marie, Euan, Olivia, and Goran!Marie is 16 and seven months pregnant. Her original home was in Montreal, Canada. She was kicked out of her house when her parents learned that she was expecting. Marie is a sweet girl, but has a learning disability that prevents her from excelling in school. She makes friends easily and loves to interact with others, especially young children and elders. She no longer speaks to her parents and wishes to distance herself from her old family. She needs some patience as she works through her schoolwork, but will persevere until she is blue in the face. She loves 60s music, traveling, and shopping.Euan and Olivia are brother and sister, ages 11 and 8. They are from Dundee, Scotland and speak both English and Gaelic. They are up for adoption because their parents and older sister died in a house fire. Euan is tall with red hair and freckles. Olivia is also tall and freckled, but has dark brown hair. Both siblings play the violin and love classical music. Euan loves trains and airplanes and also likes to build models of them. He does well in school and makes friends easily. Olivia is very interested in American culture and loves Barbie dolls and dress-up games. She also makes friends very easily and frequently writes to her best friend Isla. Both siblings are eager to begin school in London and to explore the city with their new family.Goran is an infant from Skopje, Macedonia. His mother was single and did not want to keep the baby or risk an unsafe abortion. He does not know how to speak yet and will learn English as his first language.

Update on Marie, Euan, Olivia, and GoranDH: Benjamin Thomas "Ben"
DW: Blythe MarigayDD: Marie Yvette (16)
-DD: Louisa Charlotte (nb)
DS: Euan Arthur (11)
DD: Olivia Catherine (8)
AS: Goran Oleksy (1) Marie is coping very well after the birth of baby Louisa. She's been attending a special school for young mothers with babies where the girls are taught their lessons at the same time as caring for their children. This enviroment allows for a lot more one-on-one tuition and Marie is flourishing. Her teachers have been very impressed with her hard work, dedication and noted improvement. She's also settling very well into our life in London. Marie and Blythe often go for girly shopping trips and spend their afternoons browsing through London's clothing and music stores before stopping for coffee. She's also started to learn to play guitar from Ben.Euan is fitting into school very well. He's joined a modelling club wherehe has met many new friends and has been asked to join the school orchestra. The music teacher is particularly impressed by his talent and he is now learning to play piano as well as violin in school and practices very hard. At home he learns guitar with Marie and Ben.Olivia has also settled in well. She's a regular at all the tourist spots and recently had a wonderful weekend when her friend Isla came to visit. They plan on exploring the city further when Isla comes to stay for a week in the summer. Liv has taken very well to being a little sister to Marie and aunt to Louisa. She often helps care for her little niece and Goran and plays make-overs with the incredibly patient Marie.Goran is also coming on wonderfully. He's now walking well and has started to talk a little. Mainly he uses individual words ('mum-mum', 'papa', 'juice') but recently he's began to use short phrases as well like 'play ball' or 'hug please'. He's a real sweetheart and a joyous baby. He particularly likes playing with Flora the cat.
