Remi was the first to arrive at the house of the Bennett family. From the very beginning he was talkactive and very friendly and quickly became best friends with his new brother Ciaran. He also loves to take care of his little sister Geraldine and brother Beathan. Therese is also very found of her new brother and they have a very close relationship. Magali is especially happy because Remi is from France just like her grandfather was and both talk often about the country while Remi teaches the other children more about the culture of their ancestor. Remi joined the track and field team of his new school and enjoys it very much, while Magali took him to her tennisteam where he joined the children's team. Magali, Alastair and the children are so glad to welcome such a great boy to the family.
The second ones to arrive at the family were the sisters Lucia Rocio and Ixchel. Lucia quickly became friends with her new sister Therese and though they don't share the same interest, they get along very well. To advance her artistic talents, Alastair took her to artclasses which she enjoys very much. For Ixchel on the other hand it wasn't so easy to adapt to her new family and she remained shy and reserved for a longer time. At some point she formed a very strong bond with Beathan, who recently turned 7 as well, and the two are almost inseperable. Because of this Ixchel opened up to her new family and quickly came to love her new family. With an intelligentstest the family found out that Ixchel has a very high I.Q. and she now takes part in classes to aid her talents.
The last to arrive was little Arya. All the other kids fell in love with her immediately and she is the baby of the family. Especially Remi loves her very much and takes good care of her. She is very interested in the cultures that Magali, Alastair and all the other children come from and Magali now teaches her Euskara, a language that Ciaran, Therese and Geraldine know as well. She is especially close to Geraldine who loves her new role as a big sister for Arya and Ixchel. Recently Magali and Alastair made plans to soon visit not only Dundee in Scotland and Limerick in Ireland (where Alastairs grandparents are from) but also Le Havre, France; Bilbao, Spain and Turku, Finland (where Magalis family is from) to show all their children (but especially their new additions) where their family is from. They also agreed to visit Paris, Mar de Plata and Rajasthan, the former homes of the adoptees, to teach all the children more about their new big international family.
