Full name: Elisabeth Giannina [Koning] Novak
Age: 27
Occupation: Bakery Owner
About [Personality, background, etc]: Elisabeth is a fairly outgoing person who will start up a conversation with just about anyone, making her well known and liked locally through her work. She still understands people's boundaries though, and won't force someone to talk if she senses that they're uncomfortable. She loves baking and seeing other people enjoy what she makes brings happiness for her. She enjoys being outside in nature and doesn't mind getting a bit dirty and scratched up while doing so. Her hair is dyed pastel blue-green with dark brown roots showing, and is usually up in a ponytail. She's been interested in taking care of children for a long time and worked in a daycare before moving to her current home. She more recently began to consider raising her own children, and agreed with Christopher to adopt.
Full name:Christopher Michael Novak
Age:26
Occupation: Photographer
About [Personality, background, etc]: Christopher is more introverted than his partner and prefers talking about "big" ideas to small talk, although he doesn't especially mind it either. He also likes nature and is fascinated with it, in fact it's one of his favorite things to take pictures of. He has a very strong sense of morality and always tries to do what he thinks is right. His brown hair is short and slightly wavy and he has a beard. He does have mild depression which he takes medication for, and it sometimes impacts his self-esteem and ability to find motivation, however for the most part he is content with his life. He doesn't have all that much experience with children but always envisioned himself becoming a father one day and he's looking forward to adopting.

Introducing Ty, Audrey, Valentina and Maxi
Tyler Stefan, ‘Ty’ is a 12 year old boy from Toronto. Ty has been in the care system for a long time, and everyone is very glad to see him being adopted. Although he's young, he’s developed a few behavioural problems and tends to lash out at others. However, he's been trying hard to work on his temper and behaviour, and at heart he’s a sweet, energetic boy. He also has mild dyslexia, and so sometimes school is a struggle for him - his real passion is ice hockey, which he's played a few times and would love to start attending proper lessons for.
Audrey Eloise is a 9 year old girl, also from Toronto. She’s very shy, but with some help and patience she should be able to come out of her shell a little. She loves baking, and when she heard that her new family own a bakery, she was incredibly excited, and she can't wait to help Elisabeth out.
Valentina Emilie is 7 years old, and was born in Austria. She was fostered by a family there until she was 3, and then was fostered by an American couple. She speaks both German and English, and loves to draw. She dreams of becoming an artist, a ballerina, or an astronaut - she hasn't quite decided which yet. She's very cheerful and bubbly, and can always find something to talk about.
Maximilian James, ‘Maxi’ is 6 years old, from Ottawa. He loves nature and animals, and would love to become a zookeeper one day. Maxi is quite quiet, and only speaks when he has something he’d really like to say. However, he’s not shy, and he can't wait to meet his new family!
The agency hopes these children will fit in with the family, and would love to hear about their progress!
