HelpMeet Genie, Skender, and Pali!
in reply to a message by Emaleigh
Meet Genevieve Anne “Genie” Lewis-Harper, the newest member of your family! Genie recently turned 13 and she has been in foster care since her grandparents sadly perished in a car crash two years ago. Her birth parents have never really been a part of her life and they finally signed away their rights so she could be adopted. She has always been a bit shy and she will likely take a while to get used to having a new family but she has proved to be fiercely protective of her loved ones and we are sure she will grow to love her new family with time. She enjoys singing and acting and dreams of being a Hollywood star when she grows up. We think her creative tendencies will help fit right in with especially Maurie and Aerie and, while Genie has never been extremely strong in academics, her interest in history will help her connect with Avalon. We are sure she will prove an amazing addition to your family.
Meet Skender and Pali, ten year old twin brothers of Albanian-American descent. The twins recently entered the system when their single mother was imprisoned for a drug offense and signed away her parental rights so they could be adopted. She hopes that an open adoption can be arranged so she can support her boys, but understands that it is a lot to ask and will be extremely thankful to you whatever option your family chooses. For their part, the twins are glad to be going into a more constant family atmosphere and look forward to playing with their new siblings. Being identical, one of their favorite pastimes is pretending to be each other and they do enjoy to tell jokes and pull simple pranks in good fun. In their old school they enjoyed soccer and running and they would like to continue athletic pursuits. We think they will prove themselves supportive and fun big brothers to Maylis and Gerard and we have no doubt that they’ll make their older siblings and parents laugh a little more often.
Please keep us informed during the children’s transition into your household. We would love to hear from you.

Maurie and Avalon are so pleased to welcome these three children into their home! Genie fit in immediately, especially once Aerie realized the other girl's creative spirit. The two girls connected soon enough, due to the recent nature of their loss and general unfamiliarity with their new situation, and have become quite close. So far, Genie has connected with both Maurie and Avalon, though she's a little wary of the younger children.
Skender and Pali very easily took up the mantle of being big brothers. In fact, they seem rather proud of it! Maurie and Avalon were able and willing to arrange an open adoption, being open to the boys' birth mother keeping contact. Aerie's interactions with the twins took an a typical older-sister vibe from the very start, while Gerard almost idolizes the older boys.
These three amazing children are a perfect fit for Maurie and Avalon's family, and they couldn't be happier.
