Your Adoptees!
Michiko and Akane are twin one-year-old girls from Japan. They were left at the orphanage by a mother who refused to reveal the reason, other than that she will never meet them again. The girls have been raised until they were a few months old by the mother before she gave them up. Now that they are to be adopted, their caretakers wish them the best of families.

Your Adoptees!
Lidochka is an eight-year-old girl from Russia. Her mother, a single mother at that, gave her up for adoption just before committing suicide for obscure reasons. She was sad that she will never meet her mother again, but had learnt to satisfy herself with what is at hand. She likes to read books and has been able to teach herself bits of English with some help from her friends at the Adoption Centre.
Eduard is a ten-year-old boy from Russia. He has grown to befriend Lidochka and made himself her guardian. He was left at the Adoption Centre since an early age for unknown reasons, and is already quite fluent in English since the helpers taught him. He likes to play strategy games, and has "adopted" a cat which he named Masha.
Jyoti is a five-year-old girl from India. She was found roaming the streets a year ago and was taken into our care. When no-one claimed her as their own, she was prepared for adoption. She likes to play with dolls and animals, and often begged to be told stories by her caretakers.
Alexis Dylan is a newborn baby from America. His mother was very young, and gave him up possibly due to that reason.

Your Adoptees!
Gisele Faustine is a ten-year-old girl from Canada. She was given up for adoption after her elderly grandparents could barely manage to care for her anymore. They wish to remain in contact with Gisele whenever possible, though. Gisele likes animals and books, and has brought with her a calico cat named Lucienne.
Jeremy Joshua is a five-year-old boy from America. His mother neglected him after her divorce and even started abusing him, leading his being sent for adoption. He is still optimistic with the naive positive nature of children, though, and refuses to hate his mother. JJ likes to watch Disney films (he adores Mickey Mouse) and playing football (soccer).
Thierry Marcel is a seven-year-old French boy. He used to live in an orphanage operated by nuns until now. He likes animals and sports of any sort, and is said to be an excellent swimmer.

Two years later...
Joséphine (30) and Connor (34)
Gisele (12), Thierry (9) and JJ (7)
After some difficulties shortly after the adoption, resulting mostly from understanding issues between Thierry and JJ, the family has now really grown together. Every family member is more or less bilingual, and there's a mix of English and French words buzzing around the house.
Gisele started Collège last year and has made a lot of friends in her new class. She currently discovered writing and has started a fantasy story, but refuses to let anyone read it until it's finished. Also she wants to take up riding lessons.
Thierry and JJ play together in the football club of their school - even though JJ is two years younger than his big adopted brother, he plays just as well. Together they score a lot of goals and have become very good friends.

Your Adoptees!
Sergio is a two-year-old boy from California. He was given up after it was evident that he was diabetic. His family had not enough money to support his medications and gave him up. He speaks a little Spanish and likes to play with water and jiggling to fast music.
Ashlie and Brandee are twin newborn girls from Detroit. Their mother was a teenager, and gave them up due to pressure from her family, who had barely let her keep the babies anyway. She still wants to be in touch with the babies' developments, though, and does not mind if their name was changed, simply because she had no idea for their names herself.

Annie Miriam is a two-month-old baby from America. She was left at an orphanage with a note bearing only the word "Annie". The nuns supervising the place gave her the middle name Miriam, the Hebrew form of the name Mary.
Nicholas Fritz is a ten-year-old boy from England. He was given up for adoption because of his frequent attitude problems. It is later reported that he suffered from a mixture of anger and bitterness towards his neglecting family and mild dyslexia. He likes sports and animals, though, and loves dogs very much.

Your Adoptees!
Michel, Donatien, and Blanche are triplets from France at the age of six months. Their mother was a teenager, and after nursing her children for a while, decided it was best that they be adopted.
Hirshel is a five-year-old boy from Israel. His mother having died of miscarriage long ago, he was sent for adoption when his father died in an attack on the town where he lived. He remains cheerful as much as he can, though, and immerses himself in building wooden models and painting them. His wooden model of the Temple of Jerusalem is phenomenal.
Raisa is Hirshel's three-year-old sister. She loves to play with dolls and playing dress-up.

Your Adoptee!
Griffin Anthony is a fifteen-year-old boy from Australia. He seems to be a little schizotypal, thinking that he heard people talking to him and having eccentric habits. He has been transferred from one foster family to another, but many can't handle his strange temperaments. However, he does seem to have a talent for the arts, as he is known to be almost a prodigy with the piano and is brilliant with strategy games.

A year later...
It took some time until Griffin found his place in our family. He had been in so many foster homes and didn't immediately believe that he was going to be a member of our family permanently. His schizotypal personality has caused some difficulties, and he was hospitalized once when he had quite bad paranoid episode. With his new medication, therapy and support from our family he's now feeling quite good, but still has his problems. We have encouraged Griffin with his hobbies and interests, and we are still suprised how talented pianist he is. Few months ago Griffin played in a concert where they raised money for a children's hospital, and made all of us very proud.
