HelpRe: Adoption Congrats - Round 2
in reply to a message by Ariel
DH: Dylan Aleksey Hawthorne [28]
DW: Ashley Christina (Banks) Hawthorne [28]
AS: Zakariya "Zak" Kayin Hawthorne [7]
AS: Rasim Amadou Hawthorne [4]
AD: Andreea Madalina Hawthorne [6]
AD: Raluca "Luca" Domnica Hawthorne [5]
A little bit over three months ago Dylan and Ashley brought home their two daughters from Moldova after a nearly seven months long and exhausting adoption process. Andreea is six and Raluca, who goes by Luca, is five. As Zak and Rasim the girls came into the family with their own challenges. Their bond is very close, which is understandable given their situation, but it took weeks until they were ready to let anyone in. Andreea is the leader of the two and people pleaser, Dylan and Ashley work hard with her to teach her that it's okay to say ones own opinion instead of saying what she thinks they want to hear. It's a long road ahead, but they already celebrated some small victories. Luca is the quiet one of the girls, she and her pink stuffed bunny are inseparable. Having an older sister with dyslexia Ashley noted the signs that Luca has been showing really early on and they found a wonderful therapist who works with Luca every week.
The boys needed also some time to adjust, especially Zak who has been thrown of after the family grew from four to six. There have been also some signs of jealousy from Rasim, but Dylan and Ashley tried their hardest to spend some alone time with all their kids to make them feel special. Now when Luca is getting out of her "boys are cooties phase" and the girls are getting used to being a part of a family all is settling down in the Hawthorne family. Especially the weekend mornings when the whole family gathers in the kitchen and they all prepare breakfast together are moments that Dylan and Ashley will treasure forever.
