Congratulations
Adiel Hasanati and Essien Dumaka are 1 1/2 year old twins from the Congo. Their father was never in the picture and their mother died in childbirth. They had been living with their grandmother since they were born, but she passed away a few months ago. Adiel is missing two fingers on her left hand due to an accident that happened shortly before the twins first birthday. Adiel and Essien are both very vibrant children and are practically inseparable from each other. Adiel is your typical little girl, her favorite thing in the world is dolls. Essien loves to run around and be outside.
Please update us on how your children are adjusting to your family.

Update: 1 Year Post-Adoption
Adiel and Essien are bright and thriving 2 1/2 year olds.
Adiel still enjoys playing with dolls, but she is a finger painting prodigy too. In addition to finger painting, she attends weekly occupational therapy sessions to improve dexterity in her left hand.
Essien is perfectly suited for life in upstate New York. He loves tromping through the wintertime snows, adores playing with Honeydew, and always asks to feed the goats.
Both twins have grown accustomed to life in the Beaulieu-Smith home. Grandma and Grandpa, Elodie, Daniel, Vivian, and Eleanor love the twins dearly. Life is hectic with four children ages five and under, but the family wouldn't have it any other way.
