Your Adoptees
Gabriella Marina is a 13-year-old girl from Italy. Her mother died years ago and her father is in jail for fraud and embezzlement, so she was put into foster care. Gabriella is a smart girl with an uncanny knack for Physics and Chemistry, but she also loves listening to music, photography and playing videogames. She dreams of working at CERN or NASA. Gabriella has wavy brown hair, blue eyes and slightly tanned skin.
Alfie Jack is an 8-year-old boy from England. His parents simply left the house one day and never came back, so he was put up for adoption. Alfie likes cars, motorcycles, dogs and computer games. He has a Cocker Spaniel named Joe whom he wouldn't like to be separated from, and no plans as for his future profession. Alfie has straight blond hair, grey eyes and fair skin.
David Joshua is a 5-year-old boy from the USA. His parents died in a fire, and he has been living with his aunt, uncle and cousin since then. However, Davey's uncle has accepted a job in South Africa, and they aren't sure it will be safe enough for David there. Davey likes ferris wheels, swimming, sports in general and funny films. He wants to become a fireman, and he has curly red hair, blue eyes and fair skin.
We would be delighted to hear how the children are doing.

One year later
Juliet and I are very happy to meet our three new children! Connie is also very pleased to have a new sister and two brothers with her.
Gabriella has been progressing outstandingly in her studies. Recently, her school placed her as their representative in a rocket-building competition. With some help from the entire family, Gabriella constructed a small homemade rocket for the contest, and won! We are all very proud of her. She has bonded very well with Connie, and to celebrate her first anniversary living with us, has been given a brand new camera.
Alfie is also very happy. He spends most of his free time playing computer games with Davey or playing ball with Joe and Mina. Alfie and I also like to play with the remote-controlled cars, and we have recently bought him his own RC car. He now has plans for his future: he has declared he wants to be a motorcycle racer like his idol, Valentino Rossi.
Davey is going on well with the rest of the family. He seemed to be quite attached to Alfie, who was rather protective of him. Davey has become fluent in Italian and loves to play football with his neighbours, especially the comical Benito, whom he calls "Mr Bean".
We thank you one more time for the joy you have brought into our lives!

Nirmala Lestari is a 16-year-old girl from Indonesia. She lost all her family in a recent earthquake, and as such was put into foster care. Nirmala is a shy girl who loves pottery, reading, plants and learning new things. She would like to learn more languages and become an English or French teacher. Nirmala has straight black hair, brown eyes and tanned skin.
Liliya Oksana is a 12-year-old girl from Ukraine. Her stepfather abused her for years, but eventually he was arrested for beating up another man. Liliya's mother refused to believe what her husband had done to her daughter, so Liliya was put into foster care. She is wary of strangers, especially males, and often expresses her feelings and state of mind through her drawings. Liliya has recurrent nightmares, but with professional help they may occur less frequently. She would like to study Arts or History. Liliya has straight blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin.
Amadeo Filippo is a 9-year-old boy from Italy. His parents died in a car accident, and so he was given up for adoption. Amadeo is always smiling and is surprisingly calm for a boy his age. He likes to read, especially fantasy books, animals and science - especially things related to outer space. Amadeo dreams of being an astronaut; however, he suffers from an agressive form of leukemia, and both chemo and radiotherapy have proved ineffective - a bonr marrow transplant is Amadeo's only chance. He has curly red-brown hair, hazel eyes and fair skin.
Femi Adisa is a 6-year-old boy from Nigeria. His mother died of an AIDS-related infection, so he was put up for adoption. Unfortunately, Femi is HIV-positive too. Despite this, he's a cheerful child who loves to learn and play with other kids. He wants to be a doctor when he grows up. Femi has curly black hair, black eyes and dark skin.
Ivana and Nevena are 2-year-old twins from Bulgaria. Their parents emmigrated a year ago, leaving them with an aunt, but recently there have been no news of them, and their aunt can't stay with them anymore. Nevena likes singing, dancing and dressing up, while Ivana prefers to watch TV, fingerpaint and play hide-and-seek. Both girls have straight brown hair, green eyes and fair skin.
We would be delighted to hear how the children are doing.

The delay is certainly understandable and completely forgiven! Afterall, the adoption process can be quite lengthy. ;)
Nirmala is now seventeen, and her name has been changed to Bethari Nirmala. We gave the children the option of changing their names to ones more easily understood and pronounced in this culture, and they all jumped at the chance. Nirmala chose Bethari, an Indonesian name I suggested for her, and opted to keep Nirmala as her middle name as a way to stay connected to her past. She now goes by Beth among her friends. The devastating loss of her family coupled with her shy nature made it a bit hard for her to open up to anyone, especially at school. She had some difficulty at first, but after a while she became more talkative and now has quite a few friends, as well as a boyfriend. That came as no surprise to us - Bethari is a beautiful young woman with a lot going for her. :)
Liliya Oksana is now Clara Liliya Oksana. She expresed a desire for a new name, but was reluctant to fully give up her old one. She mostly goes by Clara, but Bethari affectionately calls her Lili. Clara has been seeing a psychiatrist for the past year, and it has greatly helped her nightmares, but she still has them sometimes. Her doctor is very optimistic, however. It was difficult to get her to open up about her past, but the ice was broken through art therapy, which Clara loves. She now says she plans to be an art therapist when she grows up.
Amadeo Filippo chose not to change his name. He's now ten years old and is doing well. We've had a few close calls with him and we're very lucky to still have him with us. We're pleased to tell you he got the transplant and it has done wonders for him, but we're still not sure what the future holds. It's been only a year but he's such an important part of our lives. We'll miss him terribly when he goes away to space camp for a few weeks this summer, but we're all very happy that he's getting the chance.
We chose Femi's new name, Finlay Benjamin. He's made many friends in school. He truly enjoys it; he loves learning new things and interacting with other children. We're very proud of him. Recently he asked for a puppy of his own and we saw no reason to say no. He's a very responsible child and has been taking good care of the family's newest addition, Pedro the white lab.

Your Adoptees
Yamato is a 4-year-old boy from Japan. His parents died in a car accident, so he was given up for adoption. He likes to play baseball and football (soccer), practise his calligraphy, and animals. He has a canary named Pisuke he would like to take with him. Yamato dreams of becoming a famous baseball player. He has straight black hair, black eyes and fair skin.
Sa'id is a 4-year-old boy from Morocco. His parents died while trying to cross the Mediterranean, and his relatives couldn't handle an extra mouth to feed, so he was given up for adoption. Sa'id likes to play football (soccer), help out, draw and paint, and the meaning of his name fits him to a T. He doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up. Sa'id has straight brown hair, brown eyes and tanned skin.
We would be deligthed to hear how the children are doing.

Your Adoptees
Rebecca Leanne is a 15-year-old girl from Australia. She is 3 months pregnant, but doesn't know her baby's gender yet. Her family kicked her out when they found out about her pregnancy, and her boyfriend didn't want anything to do with her either. Becca, as she likes to be called, has a passion for music and loves to play her trumpet. She also likes fashion and drama, and often participated in amateur plays. Becca would like to become a famous trumpeter, but with a kid on the way she will probably settle for teaching music. Becca has wavy light brown hair, blue eyes and fair skin.
Thomas Antoine is a newborn boy from Québec, Canada. Both his parents are struggling with drug addictions, so Thomas was put into foster care. Since his mother didn't stop taking drugs while pregnant, Thomas is an addict baby. He is somewhat fussy, but loves to eat. Thomas has brown hair and brown eyes.
We would love to hear how the children are doing.

Mihailo Pavle is a 6-year-old boy from Serbia. His mother died in childbirth a year ago, along with the baby, and his father recently commited suicide. Despite this, Mihailo is an extroverted and bright boy who loves to ride his bicycle and climb up trees. His idol is Lance Armstrong. Mihailo has straight brown hair, blue eyes and fair skin.
Niamh Honora is a 5-year-old girl from Northern Ireland. Her parents died in an attack four years ago, and she has been living with her grandparents since then. However, they no longer have the means to give her a happy, healthy life, so they decided to give her up for adoption. Niamh likes fluffy toys, watching TV and films and playing badminton. She wants to become a famous chef. Niamh has wavy red hair, green eyes and fair, freckled skin.
Manon Lucie is a 3-year-old girl from France. Her parents died in a car accident, and she was put into foster care. Manon has diabetes, which greatly annoys her because she loves sweets. She also likes to sleep, make sand castles and animals. Manon has curly black hair, blue eyes and fair skin.
Jacek Krzysztof is a 1-year-old boy from Poland. He was the fruit of an extraconjugal affair, so his mother gave him up for adoption. Jacek has nasal septum deviation, which gives him some trouble breathing, but it can be fixed with a septoplasty. He has no interests yet, but Jacek likes to sleep, watch TV and play with his feet. Jacek has blodne hair, brown eyes and fair skin.
Laura Margarida is a 6-month old girl from Portugal. Her teenage mother could not take care of her, so she gave her up for adoption. Laura has no interests yet, but she likes to babble and play with musical toys. She has brown hair, hazel eyes and slightly tanned skin.
We would be delighted to hear how the children are doing.

no problem! Re: Your Adoptees, i year later
We changed Mihailo Pavle's name to Milo Pavle Lima. He is now 7, and in his second year of school. He is top of his class, he is a very smart boy. Milo is doing wonderfully and gets along with his siblings well. He loves meeting new people, he is very open. As a treat for good behaviour, his parents bought him a tree house and put it in the backyard. It is Milo's sanctuary, he loves it. Although he is young, he dreams of being an athlete like his idol Lance Armstrong. His new parents are encouraging his passion, they often go on long bike rides together.
Niamh Honora is now simply Neve Honora Lima, we changed the spelling to avoid pronunciation confusion. She is now 6 years old. Neve shares the passion of her parents, and wants to become a chef. She often helps in preparing meals, and we have developed a system where she earns points based on her cooking performance. This gives her great joy, if she earns enough points, her parents will treat her to a new fluffy toy. She loves playing sport, particularly badminton.
Manon Lucie's name is now Marianne Lucie Lima, nn Marri. She is now 4 years old. We are managing her diabetes and have decided to all try a sugar free diet in order for Marri to fit in with everyone else. She loves playing with our pets Cupcakes & Panini. She is very affectionate & shy, it takes a lot for her to open up to people, an obstacle we have overcome since we adopted her. As a treat, Michael made her a sandpit in the backyard, she loves playing in it.

Your Adoptees
Paige Danica is a 3-year-old girl from the USA. Her mother passed away from cancer and her father's whereabouts are unknown. She lived with her grandmother and six cousins in a two-bedroom house, so she was put up for adoption. Paige has asthma and is intolerant to lactose, so extra care needs to be taken with her food. She loves to act and is very fond of animals and insects. Paige says she wants to be an actress, and she has curly black hair, brown eyes and dark skin.
Miguel Javier is a 2-year-old boy from the USA. His single mother comes from a very strict Catholic family, and when they discovered that she was pregnant, they forced her to give up the baby. Miguel has been in foster care since he was only a few days old, but he's a happy toddler who loves construction blocks, "dancing" and drawing. Miguel only speaks Spanish. He has straight black hair, brown eyes and tanned skin.
Sadie Isabella and Chloe Gabriella are 4-month-old twins from the USA. Their teenage mother couldn't keep them, so she gave them up for abortion. They have no interests yet, but both seem to like music and bright colours. Sadie has brown hair, green eyes and fair skin and Chloe has blonde hair, grey eyes and fair skin.
We would be delighted to hear how the children are doing.

Myles and I are so thrilled to instantly have a house full of children! First off, we have decided to give each of the children new names, as a sort of welcome-to-our-family gift.
Paige is now Agnes Spring, because we think she looks like a little lamb (lamb is kind of the unofficial meaning of the name Agnes) and because her birthday often falls on the first day of spring. She is sweet and cuddly--you can tell her grandmother raised her with a lot of love. We've already made it out to Riverside once to visit her family, and they are thrilled to see Agnes healthy and thriving.
Miguel is now Clemente Roy, and we've been calling him Clem. Clemente honors our favorite place to go for a family day--the beach at San Clemente, and Roy is for his personality--he is a little king! We're not quite sure yet whether he is acting so hyper and imperious because of the transition to a new home, or if this is just how he is! He and Agnes have really begun to bond, though, and she hugs him and holds him when he gets overstimulated and upset.
Sadie is now Eve Alix, and Chloe is Laure Apolline. Evie and Laurie, as we call them, are so sweet. Myles hates me for this, but I love to dress them up in matching outfits. Evie is more rambunctious--she's the one who really keeps us awake at night, while Laure is the smiley--or gassy?--one. We'll see how they develop. We're planning a meeting in the park next week with their mother. It'll be the first time she's seen them since she gave birth to them. And I think I'm going to put the girls in their matching ducky bonnets.

Six months later
It's been just over six months since Eleonore "Ellie" and Kristin joined our family. They have had a few issues though, sometimes they would wake up crying for their families. They are doing a lot better now, both have quickly picked up English (but they still speak German all the time) and are excelling in school. Ellie is an outstanding soccer player and made the final cut for her school's soccer team. She loves going on our family hikes every weekend with her new family. Kristin is a sweet little girl who loves to play house and cards with Alden and Arwen. All four girls are very close and help each other with homework and sports. Heike also has a new friend Henrik whom we got just after the girls moved in. We would all like to thank you so much for giving us two more beautiful daughters.
Sincerely,
Katherine, Richard, Ellie, Alden, Arwen and Kristin

Ellie is an outstanding soccer player and made the final cut for her school's soccer team. She loves going on our family hikes every weekend with her new family. Kristin is a sweet little girl who loves to play house and cards with Alden and Arwen. All four girls are very close and help each other with homework and sports. Heike also has a new friend Henrik whom we got just after the girls moved in. We would all like to thank you so much for giving us two more beautiful daughters.
Sincerely,
Katherine, Richard, Ellie, Alden, Arwen and Kristin

Your Adoptees
Thabo Kgosi is a 1-year-old boy from Botswana. His mother had AIDS and died of an infection, but due to the work of a NGO while she was pregnant, Thabo isn't HIV-positive. He's a very curious child who constantly reaches out for objects. He likes to "dance" and play peek-a-boo. Thabo has curly black hair, black eyes and dark skin.
Hye-jin is a 9-month-old girl from South Korea. She was abandoned at a hospital, so nothing is known about her parents. Hye-jin is a quiet child who loves being outdoors and attempting to catch butterflies with her bare hands. She has straight black hair, brown eyes and fair skin.
Antonio José is a 5-month-old boy from El Salvador. His mother died in childbirth and his father couldn't take care of him by himself, so he gave him up for adoption. Antonio likes bright colours and food. He has straight dark brown hair, brown eyes and tanned skin.
Daina Elita is a newborn girl from Latvia. Her parents were run over by a car when they were getting back from the supermarket. Her grandparents took her in, but their income is extremely low and so she was put into foster care. Daina has no interests yet. She has blonde hair, grey eyes and fair skin.
We would be delighted to hear how the children are doing.

Your Adoptees
Jasmine Christina is a 16-year-old girl from the USA. She lived with her mother, stepmfather and step-siblings, but she was forced to leave the house when she told her family she might be a lesbian. She is currently confused about her sexuality, and wishes people accepted her for who she is and not who she likes. Jasmine has a very keen mind for numbers and logic, and she loves mathematics and playing chess. She also likes to play basketball, but hasn't had the chance to do it in a while. Jasmine has wavy black hair, brown eyes and dark skin.
Libena Terezie is a 7-year-old girl from Czech Republic. Up until recently she lived with her aunt, who unfortunately had to emmigrate and couldn't take her niece with her. Libena loves drawing, baking biscuits and animals. She owns a cat named Vít, and she's very careful about keeping it inside and away from mean dogs. Libena has a dyslexia problem that is the most likely culprit of her dislike of school and reading; with professional help, she would probably be able to overcome it. She would like to keep in touch with her aunt, as long as someone else writes the letters. Libena has wavy blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin.
We would be delighted to hear how the children are doing.

Jasmine and Libena have settled well and have completed our family. Ismene and I love being parents.
Jasmine has found her way her with us. She is more self-confident and assertive and finally knows who she is. She adores her little siblings and has been a great help around the house. She was very happy when she discovered none us us knew how to play chess so she taught us. She tried out for her high school's basketball team and made it! We're all very proud of her!
Libena loves having two younger brother to watch over and teach. Her and Morgan and Thomas have all become really close and they do everything together. Libena often helps with meals but when she's not helping to cook she's sitting outside drawing. She has been seeing a professional about her dyslexia and has improved greatly. She is on track at school and has even started to read for her own enjoyment. With the help of the family Libena has stayed in touch with her aunt through letters and they love to exchange photographs.
As for Vit, he just loves being the center of attention! With four doting kids at all times, he's just soaking up the love and attention and becoming rather spoiled!
Thank you for helping to complete our family and bring Jasmine, Libena, and Vit into our lives!
Aderyn, Ismene, Jasmine, Libena, Morgan, Thomas, and Vit Marinos-Meremenski.

She also likes to dance, read and make her own clothes. Caitlyn has curly brown hair, hazel eyes and fair skin.

Stefano Pietro is a 9-year-old boy from Italy. His parents were caught in the middle of a shooting between mobsters, so he was put into foster care.

He has wavy brown hair, green eyes and tanned skin.
Kemen Ortzi and Haizea Naiara are 4-month-old twins from País Vasco, Spain. Their parents passed away in an ETA attack, and so they were given up for adoption. They have no interests yet. Both Kemen and Haizea have brown hair, blue eyes and fair skin.

6 months later and question
After finding out we were going to have to go to France, Russia, and Israel we didn't know where to start. We ended up going clockwise starting in Russia. When we got to the orphanage Ally (once Alyona now Allison Tamara) and Leah (once Larisa now Leah Marie Theodora) pounced up on us. They were very glad to be going home with their "mama" and "papa". Igor (once Igor Aleksey now Igor Alexander) was a little more hesitant but soon followed in his sisters' footsteps. We all happily left the orphanage and went to a hotel where the rest of the kids were wating for us. The kids felt right at home with their five siblings but felt it was still two quiet. Three days later we headed to Israel to get Yonatan (once Chaim now Yonatan Chaim) and Zachariah (once Maor now Zachariah Maor). When we got to Israel we put the kids with my parents immediately went to the orphanage. Ally, Leah, Cara, and Tallie played dolls, Igor took a nap, Julie, Tim, & Andy played a game of soccer. At the orphanage we were handed Yoni and Zach and told we could leave right away. On the way home from the hospital we picked up a few presents for the kids. The kids were delighted as they were told these were presents from the boys. After about a month of bonding Julie, Igor, and I flew to France. Everyone else went back to our home in Amsterdam. When Julie, Igor, and I arrived we went to our hotel for the night. The next morning we set out to pick up Maggie (once Celine now Margaret Cecelia). Maggie was confused when she saw us because she'd been told that we had ten children. After getting an explanation she happily went to the hotel with us. We spent about two days in the city and they took a train home. Now six months later I can't imagine my life without them. Soon we will be leaving for a contintent wide adventure. If you want to be kept posted just let us know. We would love to adopt a little boy (5 or under) from anywhere in europe while we're on the trip

Your Adoptees
Maret Loviise is a 13-year-old girl from Estonia. She used to live with her grandmother, who recently passed away after a stroke. Maret loves to write and dreams of being the next Agatha Christie. She also likes to garden and, unlike most girls, has a penchant for terminating grasshoppers and the likes of them. Maret has straight light brown hair, blue eyes and fair skin.
Andrus Olev is an 8-year-old boy from Estonia, and Maret's cousin. His single mother has been struggling with her drug addiction for a long time, and gave Andrus up for adoption since she couldn't take care of him anymore. Andrus is a quiet boy who loves to play with his toy cars; he would like to be a Formula One racer when he grows up. He loves animals and wishes he could have a bird or fish of his own. He would like to let his mother know how he's doing every now and then. Andrus has straight blond hair, blue eyes and fair skin.
Sevda Aysel is a 3-year-old girl from Azerbaijan. Her family was too poor to handle the extra mouth to feed, so they gave her up for adoption. Sevda likes to play football and paint, as well as sing. Sevda has wavy black hair, brown eyes and slightly tanned skin.
We would be delighted to hear how the children are doing.

Milo was very impressed of getting so many new siblings all of a sudden. He loves it, though - there's always someone for him to talk to (in a mix of English and Estonian and gestures) and to play with around the house. Also he's very proud of being Sevda's big brother, which is a completely new experience for him.
Maret has started to set out a vegetable garden next to the house and wants to grow her own carrots and tomatoes. She's often to be found between her plants, earth all over her clothes, and writing a new thought on a slip of paper.
Andrus had the biggest problems of the three to get used to his new life, but is doing fine now as well. He, along with Maret, started school a few months ago and made two close friends.
Sevda is the baby of the family, whom everyone adores. She and Milo have become very close and have started to have regular shooting practice in the yard.
