Re: Rainbow House Adoption Center!

Our family now, one year after the adoption:
DH: Alex Raiden
DW: Marjo Lynn
DS/DS: Maddox James / Lennox Cole (15)
DD: Lena Magnhild (12)
DD: Alexandra Lynn "Lexi" (7)
DS/DS: Bartel Ruud / Stefan Laurens (6)
DD: Victorine Zoé (4)
DD: Klara Andrea (2)
Maddox and Lennox love to play with the boy-twins. They play a lot of football (soccer). Maddox, who usually goes by Max these days, sort of 'adopted' Bart and Lennox did the same with Stef. It's great to watch them play together.
Lena is still very much a mother to Klara or "Rara" as Victorine calls her. She's also became this way with Vicotine. She gets along with Lexi pretty well, adn we are very happy about that. Both Alex and me help her a lot with school work, because she has trouble focussing in school. Her grades are far better than when she started her new school though, the language problems made her isolate herself for the first few months.
Lexi has never been happier, she says she's very pleased to have sisters.
Bart and Stef are doing ok. At some point we spoke with their mother on the phone and she said she wanted to see how they were doing. We scheduled a time for her to come over, but she never showed up and we haven't heard from her since. Accoring to the police she's missing and they have no idea what happened. We're glad that Bart and Stef never knew all of this had happened. We will tell them some day, just not now.
Victorine usually goes by Zoe these days, she reacts to both names right now. Zoe is easier and she's more a Zoe than a Victorine. She's had an infection to her stomach about 5 months back and she was in the hospital for quite some time. She had to be fed through a tube, because her stomach didn't function as it should have. Right now she's recovered from it, and a few small scars are all that is left. She was wonderful during her hospitalisation, she never complained and only once she said that her tummy hurted. She learned Dutch very quickly and is going to the 'kleuterklas' (the first class of primary school). She makes friends easily and at school Lexi watches over her.
Klara is doing great, she's such a happy child! She's always smiling. At first when something was wrong she went straight to Lena, but now she comes to me and Alex just as often. She enjoys the attention she gets for being the youngest.
Alex is already talking about another child. He says he wants ten children. I'm still doubting... Right now it is very busy for me. The good thing is that the kids raise eachother just as much as I raise them, Lena is always such a big help. I love them all so much!
