Parent 1: Alexander Charles Harrington (48).
Alex could be described as charming, determined, and most of all, stubborn. Perhaps this is what makes him such an exceptional pilot. He is an extremely intelligent man who has all but lost his wit throughout his and Elizabeth's twenty-three years of marriage. Despite his vast amount of accomplishments, he considers his five children his most impressive.
Hobbies: Boating, cooking, and hiking.Parent 2: Elizabeth Katherine Harrington (46).
Elizabeth works as a neonatal nurse in a nearby hospital. She cares for ill newborns and infants almost daily and does everything in her power to help them. She is no different when it comes to her own children. Elizabeth can best be described as loving, nurturing, and supportive. She encourages her children to experience the world for themselves and often gives them the little push they need to put themselves out there.
Hobbies: Vollunteering at local animal shelters, reading, and writing.Current Children:Francis Henry Harrington (19).
Francis is a leader. He takes great responsibility of his younger siblings and always looks out for their well being. He is kind, but he is also very clever and bold. Because of this, he could sometimes come off as a bit brash or arrogant, but he means no harm.
Hobbies: Soccer, paintballing, and traveling.Leonardo Shannon Harrington (18).
Leo, along with younger brother Will, are quite comical. Leonardo loves to make people laugh and is quite good at making people see the silver linings of the seemingly worst situations. He's a sweet, laidback kid who just loves to live in the moment.
Hobbies: Baseball, playing his guitar, and playing card games with his father and siblings.Klaus Matthew Harrington & Kenna Louise Harrington (16).
The twins of the household. Both Klaus and Kenna are passionate about art. Klaus loves to draw while Kenna's preferred area of expertise is painting, especially with oil pastels. Klaus admires architecture and Kenna wants to try her hand at sculpting. Both of the children are often described as outspoken and confident of who they are.
Klaus's hobbies: Watching movies, going to art shows, and drawing.
Kenna's hobbies: Going to music festivals, shopping, and painting.William Charles Harrington (14).
Will is the current baby of the family. He could sometimes have a quite cynical outlook, but despite that he is incredibly kind and humorous like older brother Leo.

Meet Kliment and Aleksei!Meet the newest Harringtons! Kliment (15) and Aleksei (7) are brothers from Ukraine who couldn’t be happier to find loving parents and siblings. They grew up in a large poverty-stricken family with an alcoholic father. Kliment, a dedicated and protective older brother, decided to take Aleksei and run away when their father started abusing Aleksei. He has continued to support his brother through the ordeal of the orphanage system and has left very little time to take care of himself. Although he speaks limited English and hasn’t had much schooling to date, he is naturally very intelligent and has resolved to learn the language at his new home. We also have seen him demonstrate exceptional social skills and emotional intelligence, characteristics that will lead him far in life. Little Aleksei is extremely cheerful and has almost no memories of their rough childhood. He has been a joy to work with and, like his brother, has a natural instinct to help others. He especially looks forward to meeting his new siblings and making new friends at his new school. Because of their rough childhood, neither child has been able to develop many hobbies yet but we are sure that they will find their interests when they settle into their new home. We see many similarities between the boys and your description of your children and we think they will fit right in with your family.Please keep us informed during the children’s transition into your household. We would love to hear from you.

The Harrington's couldn't be happier with their new additions! Both of the boys are acclimating fantastically. Alex greatly admires Kliment for his ability to take on so much responsibility at such a young age and his dedication to his studies and education. As for the children, Kliment and Will were fast friends due to their shared appreciation for academics and sarcasm. Will introduced him to some of his now favorite videogames, and it's one of their favorite things to do at home. Kliment has loosened up a lot upon realizing that him and his brother are safe and can finally start focusing on himself more. He joined the soccer team at school and is quite talented, with Francis helping him out every now and again.Aleksei is such a sweet boy! He's a great help around the house and is quite shy. He loves to hang out with Elizabeth and Kenna, who spoil him most profusely. The ladies of the house have taken him to many fun places where he could explore such as Santa's Workshop, the Children's Museum of Denver, and the Rocky Mountain National Park (along with Klaus and Alex) to name a few places. Although he likes spending time with the girls, he's also really enjoyed hanging out with Klaus. Francis also loves to spend time and play with him!Both of the boys have really come out of their shells. In the first few months they had insisted on sharing a bed, which is understandable. Now, Kliment enjoys sharing a room with Francis and Aleksei with Klaus.Their English is also coming along wonderfully! Both of the boys also attend counseling twice a week due to their prior situation.
