Please welcome Elijah Joel (14), Stella Ruth (14), Benjamin Cade "Ben" (10), and Lucinda Clare "Lucy" (6)Elijah, Stella, Ben, and Lucy are siblings from the United States' Midwest. They came to us two years ago after their single father lost his battle with cancer. They had lost their mother one year prior to complications from pneumonia. It has been difficult to place them until now due to their desire to stay together. They are thrilled to finally have a family to call their own!Elijah and Stella are incredibly close. After their mother died when they were only ten they became largely responsible for the upbringing of Ben and Lucy, since their father was so often ill. Although they did have an aunt to care for them while their father was in the hospital, she paid them little attention. As such, both of these children are extraordinarily responsible and mature for their age. They both enjoy reading, although Elijah prefers historical fiction and Stella prefers science fiction. Both twins are tall and lanky with dirty blond hair and freckles. Ben is stockier than his older siblings, with darker hair. He has little patience for sitting inside on nice days and would much rather be outside kicking a ball or climbing at the playground. He has a pet guinea pig called Radar that he takes good care of, and is very excited to have a dog in his family.Lucy is a cheerful little girl. She loves playing with her baby doll and refuses to go anywhere without it. She also has quite the collection of stuffed animals. She wants to be a ballerina when she grows up and hopes to take dance lessons soon. Please let us know how Elijah, Stella, Ben, and Lucy are doing!

It's been a year since Elijah, Stella, Ben, and Lucy came to live with us and it has been wonderful. Elijah and Stella are 15 and have both gotten their learner's permits and are learning to drive. They are very good drivers because they are so responsible. They also help out around the house and with their 5 younger siblings. Ben is loving having two pets. He takes very good care of Radar and Molly follows him around wherever he goes. They especially like playing outside together. Ben has also started playing soccer. Lucy, Katie, and Alice have become the three musketeers. They share a room and spend all day playing together. While they sometimes bicker they love each other. All three are taking dance and gymnastics together. Having her sisters around has led to her not taking the doll with her everywhere but she still sleeps with and doesn't like to share it. Levi loves all the attention and that he always has someone to play with. Thank you so much for completing our family.John, Alex, Elijah, Stella, Ben, Katie, Lucy, Alice, Levi, Molly and Radar
