Welcome Henrik & Runa, Haukea, and Kristjan
Henrik and Runa are 15 year old twins from Luleå, Sweden. Henrik is very athletic; he enjoys hiking, hockey, and snowboarding. He and his sister are very extroverted and enjoy hanging out with large groups of people. Henrik is also quite the cook; his signature dish is ostkaka. Runa also is very active; she goes jogging every morning, and likes to ice skate and snowboard. Despite being very athletic, she likes to be pampered once in a while, and indulges herself in Henrik's ostkaka. They are close but their is always a slight competition between them on who's better at snowboarding. Both were raised Christian and speak perfect English. Henrik and Runa are both tall, with platinum blonde hair and gray eyes. They are both charming to have around.Haukea is a thirteen year old girl from Mountain View, Hawaii. She is she'd like to learn ballroom. She also likes music, ranging from contemporary to classic to modern pop. She can carry a tune quite well but she would rather focus on her studies than become a pop star sensation. Haukea has set her sights on becoming a doctor someday and she always puts her best effort forth in class even if she doesn't completely get the subject. To add to this, she has dyslexia but she is determined not to let this stop her. She is petite for her age, with caramel skin, big brown eyes, and long wavy hair. Haukea was raised Protestant. She is sociable and will fit right in with your family. Kristjan is a sixteen year old boy from Akureyri, Iceland. He, unlike the other three children, is very quiet and introverted. He was brought into the agency/orphanage when the authorities found evidence incriminating his father for child abuse. Kristjan is traumatized, & untrusting of males and needs good role models for him to regain trust and respect for male authorities. Other than that, Kristjan is more of a homebody, he enjoys reading, writing, and watching movies. However, he is athletic and likes motorcross, and playing tennis. Another thing about Kristjan is he would like to become a film director; he enjoys to stay in the background and watch everybody to see how they interact and then applies that to his films. His films are quite intriguing and the sisters and i are sure he has a future in filmography. Kristjan is of average build, with coppery blonde hair and blue eyes; he speaks broken English. He truly is a delightful young man.Congratulations on the newest additions to your family and keep us posted on how they are settling in. Have a wonderful day!

The Sloane Family
Ivy and Zavier have Oliver, Kristjan , Henrik, Runa, Kea, Gwen and Blythe
Kristjan is now settling in well and is sharing more and more with us. He has formed a particulary close bond with his new cousin Oliver who has been specialising in councilling within his medical training. Kristi idolises Oli and they are the best of friends spending their free time watching old movies and have even started their writing a screeplay together. They plan to then act and direct it with friends. Kristjan and I have also been playing tennis together, a passion I had as a child but I'm rather out of practice so Kris always beats me!Henrik has also settled well and has enjoyed a couple of weekends hiking in the countryside with Zavier. Whilst Hen and Zav are hiking Runa, Kea, Gwen, Blythe and I have girly weekends at home, painting our nails, watching chick flicks and eating take out.Runa is also really enjoying having younger sisters and is great with Kea, Gwen and Blythe. She has even been teaching her younger sisters to speak Swedish and has three eager pupils on her hands.Hen and Runa have also been enjoying using the nearby indoor snowboarding run and I have to say, they are both very talented!Kea has also been great and love having so many siblings as there is always somebody to chat to or have a karoke competition with! We have uber competitive family sing-offs regularly! However, she's also been remarkably focused on her studies and Kea's new teachers have been very complimentary of her skills and results. We believe that she will be able to achieve her dreams of training as a doctor and in the meantime she has been getting some extra help from cousin Oliver who is in his third year of medical training.Thank you so much for everything you have done for the Sloane family! We greatly appreciate all your efforts for us.
