Ari loved having so many new things to see and touch, and has taken to following Raoul around the playroom whenever he comes by to play. Despite the language barrier -- Raoul is quickly learning English, but Ari has had to start over anew with the language -- the two youngest boys played together well.

DD/DD [5]: Nadya Anara & Darya Saltanat "Dasha" [Astana, Kazakhstan]Location: Brooklyn, New York, USA
Nadya fit the prosthesis over her foot and ankle while surreptitiously stealing looks up at her new parents for signs of judgement or disapproval. James reached out and handed her her shoes when she was ready and made it a point to let his hand linger. She hadn't noticed before- most people didn't. His hand looked fairly lifelike to the passing eye, but upon a second look it was recognizable as a plastic and vinyl prosthetic. He tugged his sleeve up a bit to show the metal and plastic that helped to hold the arm together and operate the joints. Nadya took a moment to take in the arm before reaching up and touching it. James smiled."I fell from really high up when I was young," he explained*. "It was too broken to use anymore so I got this one." It wasn't exactly that simple, but he figured that was simple enough for someone only five-years-old. "Like your foot," Dasha had marveled to her sister and that had been that. Nadya reached up and took James's hand. Dasha had reached and taken Natalia's and the two of them walked out of the orphanage and into their new lives.
* Idk. They probably were speaking Russian.

DS/DS [1 mo.]: Luca Samuel Adams / Matteo Aramis Adams
Location: Chicago, Illinois
Round 3 - It took a year, but the Adams family is finally starting to get into a normal routine again. Elena continues to do well in school and is beginning to come out of her shell a little more. Lucia is also doing well in school at her own pace now that she has proper support from the staff. She continues to get better at English and is very happy to be able to converse with her peers now. Alex and Norah had a hard time deciding whether to adopt again so soon because the things were finally normal after a rocky year, but they despite that they knew deep down that it was time again, so little Enzo was recently welcomed into the family. He is the most content little baby and rarely gets upset. His sisters love cooing over him and playing with him, and Elena especially has taken up the "little mom" role as Enzo doesn't yell at her whenever she tries to boss him around. Round 4 -Alex and Norah were definitely not expecting to get pregnant and were shocked to find out that Norah was pregnant with twins. With the surprise of the twins, Alex and Norah decided to move out of their apartment in downtown Chicago and into bigger house in the suburbs. Luckily, the process went very quickly and they were able to move in before the twins were born. Besides the fact that the girls now have to commute a half an hour to school, they love their new location and that the girls can play outside and go to a nearby park without an adult. Luca and Matteo were born tiny and premature, but they are healthy baby boys and the family couldn't be happier. The girls love having two new brothers can take care of, and Enzo is excited to play with the twins, but doesn't quite understand that they can't play cars with him yet. Norah quit her job and took a new one where she can work from home, so she now can stay home and take care of the boys, and she loves the new arrangement.
