Maeva Caroline is a seven year old from France. She speaks French and some English. Maeva lost her parents when they died in a tragic fire, that also destroyed her home. Maeva had no other relatives. She enjoys reading stories as well as writing some of her own and illustrating them. Her favorite stories involve make-believe.Francisco Alfredo and Rosario Elena are ten year old cousins from Spain. Both are bilingual, speaking Spanish as well as English. Francisco loves swimming and is almost always found at a pool. Rosario on the other hand loves horseback riding. She is often at the stables, caring for the horses. While she does not own a horse, she hopes to be able to own one with her new family. Both cousins lived with their grandmother, who recently died of cancer.Please let us know how Maeva, Francisco and Rosario are doing!

One year later . . .Maeva has greatly improved in her English, and has in turn taught us some French. She still misses her parents, but she is usually a happy girl. She takes art classes at a local program. She really enjoys it. We like to write stories together, and then Maeva illustrates them. Then she reads the stories to Jonathan.Francisco has joined the swim team at his school and has made several friends through it. He is one of the best in his age group. Once Rose is old enough, he wants to teach her how to swim. He is already teaching Maeva and his cousin!Rosario now goes by Elena, since having a Rose and a Rosario in the same house is a little confusing! Jonathan and I decided to get her a horse. Elena named the horse Domino, after her new favorite game. I also broke down and got horse as well. When I have time, I take her to the barn and we ride together.Rosie likes having older siblings. She misses them while they are at school, and cannot wait for them to get home. She will start preschool soon, and is very excited because she might see Maeva, Francisco, or Elena during the day.We cannot thank you enough for the new blessings in our family!
Arabella, Jonathan, Rose, Maeva, Francisco, and Elena
