Carrie Elise is a 16 year old from Australia. She is currently 8 months pregnant with twin daughters. Carrie is very athletic and loves ice skating. Before her pregnancy, she was one of the top Australian ice-skaters. Now, Carrie has focused her attention on school and hopes to someday become a physical therapist or a nurse practitioner. Her favorite subject in school is Biology. Carrie also wants to talk to students about the rising number of teen pregnancies.
Charlotte Elizabeth is a fifteen year old from Washington D.C. She also has anorexia nervosa and may require hospitalization and/or in order to return to a healthy weight. Because of her illness, Charlotte has recently lost interest in school and her grades have dropped. Consequently, she may also need tutoring to catch up. One day, Charlotte hopes to become a fashion designer and live in New York, however, she currently does not have the grades to achieve her goal.
Please let us know how Carrie and Charlotte are settling in!

Carrie gave birth to healthy and beautiful twin girls not long after joining the family. She named them Alice Ruby and Imogen Grace. She has excellent grades in college and has decided to become a nurse practitioner with a minor in physical therapy. While she is at school Ismene's brother, Damien, watches over Alice and Imogen. In order to stay in shape, Carrie has picked up ice skating as a hobby again. She has also been a guest speaker at many local high schools talking to students about the rising number of teen pregnancies. The students are very receptive to Carrie and after meeting her twins they begin to realize how serious of a risk it is.
Charlotte spent the first several months with us in the hospital. She refused to eat and was dangerously thin. After five months she began to look healthier, and she was released from the hospital after a total of seven months. She is now doing well and maintains a healthy weight in addition to seeing a psychologist once a week. She managed to raise her GPA with the help of tutoring and a summer of sumemr school and is now in the top 15% of her senior class. She, with the help of Carrie, started her own local organization to bring attention to the seriousness of eating disorders. She has also been personally involved in the rehabilitation of numerous people in our city and neighboring cities. She has been going to night school twice a week at a nearby college and earning early college credits. She now has the grades to achieve her dreams.
Our entire family took to Carrie and Charlotte right away. Morgan and Thomas love having two older sisters. They always ask the girls to play soccer or basketball with them. Damien's daughter Magdalena looks up to Carrie and Charlotte and we're all glad because the two have blossomed into amazing role models. Damien loves having two teenage nieces to spoil and spend time with. Carrie has learned much about parenting from him and he encourages both the girls to follow through with their goals. Ismene and I feel that our family is now complete. We are very proud of all of our children.
Carrie and Charlotte have been a great addition to our family.
Thank you for placing them with us!
