Welcome Sarah, Etsuko, Simon, Harry, Patton and Izzy!
Sarah Charlotte is sixteen and from Conneticut. She has recently come out as a lesbian, and is quite introverted. She is very musically talented, especially on the violin, and also loves art and drawing. She has no disabilities. Her parents were very violent and abusive towards her, so she was removed from their care.Etsuko is eight and from Japan. She speaks only Japanese but is very eager to learn English. Etsuko is bubbly and kind, and loves learning, reading, cooking, and other children. Her parents died when she was younger and her ageing grandmother is no longer able to take care of her. Her grandmother lives in Tokyo and would like to stay in contact with Etsuko if possible.Simon August is a newborn boy from England, and Harry David is his four-year-old brother. They recently lost their parents in a car accident, which they were also involved in. Harry has some emotional issues from the accident - he is very nervous and sometimes wets his bed. He is very protective of his younger brother, and enjoys reading, sports and being outdoors. He speaks English, and Simon cannot yet speak.Patton Grace is a twelve-year-old girl from South Dakota. She is very girly and loves makeup, drama, clothes and pop music, but is also interested in medicine. She lost her parents recently in a fire and has not spoken about the incident much. She grew up in the same apartment block as Izzy (below) and the two are quite close.Isadora Jemma Michelle is thirteen and passionately hates her full name, preferring to go by Izzy. Izzy loves music, especially alternative music, and is interested in Goth/punk fashion. Izzy's parents died in the same fire that killed Patton's mom and dad. She is Patton's best friend, though they are very different.Congratulations on your new family members!

Thank you!Kaori and Remy have:
Sarah, Izzy, Patton, Etsuko, Harry, Daxton, and SimonIzzy's legal name is now Izumi Julienne Matilda. We replaced her old name with new names, same initials, and she can still go by Izzy. She likes having a Japanese name. Patton wanted one too, so her new name is Patton Grace Hikari. Sometimes, she'll go by Kari, but normally she is just Patton.Simon and Harry were both given Japanese names as well. They are now Simon August Kazuki and Henry David Kaito "Harry". Harry still wets the bed, but it's happening less frequently. Etsuko was given an "American" name, her legal name is now Etsuko Maren. The family calls her Suki. She is learning English very quickly, since she is surrounded by it. She and her grandmother "visit" via Webcam, but it's difficult due to the time differences. The family will go to Japan this summer, and Suki will get to visit her in person.We offered Sarah a Japanese name, but she said she didn't want another name. So she is just Sarah Charlotte. She's coming out of her shell a bit more, now that she isn't surrounded by violence, but is still quiet. She has made a few friends, and even has her eye on a girl at school. We'll see how that goes. ;]Thank you for these children!
