Re: Welcome Antoine, Megan, Isaac, Chipo and Sasha!
Tony (as we've taken to calling Antoine) is a very sensitive and creative boy. He's a pleasure to live with and is so considerate of others. We're so glad that he is now a member of our family.Meg is doing very well. She's speaking to a councillor about her abuse and is doing very well with it. Her doctor has also given her some excercises to do to help with her asthma. She's also thrilled to have two big sisters who love pink every bit as much as she does!Isaac and Chipo are also fantastic. They both love to listen to rock music and dance about together (Chip is doing great at walking now), singing along to the lyrics. They have a very special bond due to being biological siblings that we're keen to nurture but they also get on wonderfully with the other children.Sasha has been a bit of a struggle but we feel that we're the right people to help her. We asked her whether she wanted to see a councillor to which she responded she didn't. Instead we spend plenty quality time with her every day, plyaing guitar and watching movies together. Martha and Sasha have been going to guitar lessons together whilst Jake and Sasha attend a local Russian club where Jake is learning Russian and Sasha can talk to others in her native language. She recently welcomed a daughter into the world, a little angel called Nina. Having her has changed her for the better and we've noticed her become much less flighty. She now acknowledges that for Nina's sake she must remain in the one place. DH: Jacob Thomas "Jake" Harper (42)
