HelpRe: Smiles' Adoption Agency
in reply to a message by gabriellagrace
Jarek Kacper and Marcel Lucjan - 4
Jarek and Marcel were found in an abandoned home in Poland. A woman heard their cries as she was walking by. Traces of drugs were found in their system which lead doctors to believe that their mother was a drug addict. The boys have now been in the agency for 3 1/2 years. They were only 6 months when they were brought in. Jarek enjoys coloring, watching cartoons and playing outside with his brother.
Marcel enjoys watching cartoons, asking questions (he's a very curious child), and reading (even though he's 4).
Svetlana Zoya "Lana"- 3
Svetlana is the child of a 14 year old girl. The mother died giving birth in Russia. The father is unknown. Svetlana stayed with her grandmother for one year until the elderly woman became incapable of caring for herself or Svetlana. Svetlana has taken to being called Lana since she has been at the agency. She is definitely an adventurous child, always finding things to get into.
Mia Charlotte and Phoebe Erin - newborns
Mia and Phoebe were taken away from their mother at the hospital when they were born. The reason behind this was because there was visible evidence on the mother's body that abuse was occurring within the home. The mother was given a choice by DCF officials. She could either leave the husband or give up the babies. Refusing to leave her husband, the children were turned over to the agency. The twins are very skittish and jumpy. They tend to stay quiet. And have very healthy sleep and hunger schedules.

It's been two years and our children are now
Adina, 12
Yonatan, 10
Casper, Lucius, Barak & Maayan, 6
Alana, 5
Mia & Phoebe, 2
THE ADOPTION
The first few weeks with the children were rough. For starters none of the children could speak Hebrew OR English OR Spanish (those are the only langauges I know) so we had to have my mother there to translate. For those of you who don't know her, my mother is a lovely women and she can understand a little bit of Russian and Polish, but not alot. By the end of the first month with the children we had come up with a system of cards. Food, water, sleep, hug, kiss, and play were just some of the many symbols. Soon the children began to understand us and we understood them.
THE CHILDREN NOW
Adina is still the leader of the bunch. Yonatan loves to help Adina out. Maayan & Alana are now best friends. This makes Barak jealous at times because Maayan used to exclusivly be friends with his but now she has someone else. Maayan often tries to assure him she does love him and he knows this but is still jealous. Lucius and Casper pretty much stick to one another but are slowly but surely starting to include him. Mia & Phoebe are best friends. They are identical and enjoy each others company but also love hanging out with their older siblings.
