Your AdopteesCongratulations! We have found three children for you that are in need of a new home.Sarah Jaime (6) is a young girl from Anderson, South Carolina. She has been deaf since birth and communicates through sign language. Sarah was given up for adoption at the age of two, and has no contact with her biological family. Sarah is very lively and enjoys reading, animals and is very talented at painting.Daniel Eric (3) and Johanna Grace (3 months) are siblings from Hastings, Nebraska. Their parents and older brother were tragically killed in a car accident just two months ago. Their grandparents cannot care for the young children, so the were put up for adoption. They were being raised in a Christian household, and the grandparents wish to keep in contact with your family. Daniel has brown hair and blue eyes, and enjoys trains and drawing. Johanna has brown hair and brown eyes, so far she likes being cuddled and listening to people sing. Please update on how Sarah, Daniel and Johanna are adjusting!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your AdopteesCongratulations! We have found three children for you that are in need of a new home.Isabelle Mae (15), Mackenzie Dawn and Elizabeth Rose (12) are sisters from Vancouver, BC. They have been in the foster care system for a year, following the discovery that their parents were abusing them. All three girls were abused for several years, and often have nightmares and trust issues. Their parents have since lost all parental rights. Isabelle has wavy brown hair and brown eyes, while fraternal twins Mackenzie and Elizabeth each have curly brown hair and blue eyes. Isabelle is a sporty teenager, she especially enjoys figure skating, soccer, hiking and playing various board games.
Elizabeth is fairly quiet, and enjoys reading, writing and sewing.
Mackenzie is the extrovert of the sisters, enjoying dance, music and cooking.Please update on how the girls are doing in their new home and how they're adjusting.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's now been a year since we adopted the girls. They all have adjusted greatly to their new life.Isabelle plays in girls' soccer team and has made some very good friends there. She also goes to figure skating in winter and she enjoys when we go hiking as a family. It took her some time to trust us and to be sure that we'd never abuse her or her sisters, but now she is a well adjusted member of our family who really enjoys when we do fun activities as a family.Libby and our foster daughter Anna have become best friends. Anna wants to become a fashion designer when she grows up and together with Libby (who has amazing sewing skills) they have designed and made some clothing for themselves and their sisters. Libby also goes to book club in her school and dreams of becoming an author. Libby still sometimes suffers from nightmares and nighttime anxiety because of her past, but she's been in counseling and nightmares are much less frequent now. It also helps that our cat Wildrose immediately fell in love with Libby and often sleeps with her in her bed.Mackenzie has started taking dancing lessons and she's really enjoying it. She has made lots of friends in school and loves to hang out with them. On weekends she often cooks the family meals with her dad and loves trying new recipes. She wants to become a music teacher or a chef when she's grows up. She's well adjusted to her new life with us and loves that there's never a quiet moment in our house.DW: Therese Amelie Roseau (42)

Your AdopteesCongratulations! We have matched you with two children in need of a new home.Claire Audrey and Holly Mira are 2 year old identical twin girls from Maitland, NSW, Australia. Their parents were both killed in a boating accident a year ago, the only close relatives are their elderly grandparents who cannot care for them. Claire and Holly both have straight auburn hair and blue eyes, both are developmentally normal.Claire is a very energetic and friendly toddler. She enjoys animals, playing outside and playing with her dolls. Holly is more shy than her sister and often gets nervous around new people until she warms up to them. She enjoys coloring, music and crafts.The girls' biological grandparents would like to keep in touch with them if that is okay with your family.Can't wait to hear how Claire and Holly are settling into their new home!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
vote up1
Update...Two years after adopting the twins and they have settled perfectly into life with the Bowens. Holly likes to stick closely to her big brother Xander - who immediately took her under his wing - the pair can amuse themselves for hours with a colouring book each and a set of paints. Claire on the other hand is much more confident to wander off from her parents and brother, she loves the summer months where she can play all day out in the garden with Bart - whom she has a very close understanding with - and Sam and Oliver have bought new garden equipment just for her. Sam is getting Holly into piano lessons after the girl expressed her interest and they seem to be bringing her out of her shell more, while Oliver spends time with Zander and Claire playing football or any other highly energetic activity.
Currently the family are saving up money for flights over to Australia to visit Claire and Holly's biological grandparents whom they have remained in regular contact with via phone and video-chat. DW: Samantha Rose Bowen [25]
