Congratulations
Michael Kayode is a five year old boy from Africa, he came to our orphanage when his parents could no longer afford to properly care for him at the age of 3. He loves drawing and painting most and loves to look others art and critique it. He can be a bit shy and needs help with his English but he loves people and gets along well with everyone.
Tristan Alexzander and Trinity Elise are twelve year old twins from Britain. They're the best of friends and have stayed close since their parents recently died. They have trouble trusting adults but easily befriends those around their age and younger. They both love music and write songs together all the time, Tristan will sing the lyrics while Trinity plays them easily on almost any instrument.
Oliver Cameron is a seventeen year old boy from Britain. He's been in foster care since he was six and spends most of his time outside on his own. He loves most athletic stuff but especially hip hop dancing, which he's quite good at. He also street performs simply for the fun of it and does his best to make others happy.
Please update us on how your children are adjusting to your family.

UpdateMichael is adjusting well in our home. Though he has trouble with his English, he seems to love playing with my son Patrick. We are having a teacher come once a week to help him learn better English. I'm sure he will soon be speaking it fluently.Tristan and Trinity were slow to open up, but have become good friends with my daughter Baylee, which has helped them come out of their shell. They both enjoy the extra school activities. Tristan has joined the school choir and Trinity the school orchestra.Oliver, not having any other kids his age in the family, has opened more up to my husband. He enjoys playing football in the yard with him and is now on the school football team. We have found out he is a very bright boy and is a joy to be around.
