ADDog: Taco [dachshund] Matteo, Marisol, and Maricruz were born in Mexico, their family moved to the United States when Maricruz was 2. They are all normal children except that Marisol is missing her left hand, it was damaged and removed in the car accident that her parents died in. The children are all still adjusting to not having their parents Jose and Maria. Tell us about your new family!

We love having Matteo, Marisol, and Maricruz in our family! They are all wonderful children, though they still miss their birth parents a lot. Taco gets along well with Strider. This fall, all three of them will be going to school with Gemma. Matteo will be in second grade, Marisol will be in first grade, Gemma will be in kindergarten, and Maricruz will be in pre-k. All three know English well already, but James and I have been working on their reading, especially Matteo and Marisol. Marisol is adapting well to using only one hand. We are helping her learn how to answer any awkward questions people may ask her. Gemma loves having so many siblings!Love,
Saskia, James, Matteo, Marisol, Gemma, and Maricruz.
