Congrats on Arielle btw!Ebony Helena, 2, Maxwell George and Marcus Jude, 4 are siblings from the US. They were put into care because their young mother, Isabelle, couldn't cope with 3 young children. Max and Marcus were planned (well one of them!) but Ebony was unexpected. Isabelle is a Catholic and doesn't believe in abortion so she had to have all three children. She thinks they are better off without her for now. Isabelle would like to keep in touch with the children though. Max and Marcus have a guinea pig each, Ty and Ollie, and they play with them every day! Ebony can be a little madam but is very lovable, loud and outgoing. Max and Marcus have very similar personalities, they are both quieter than Ebony but love cuddles at night.**miss_smiley**

The children have been a delight to our family!Max and Marcus are excited about being big brothers for a second time, and they love to play in our backyard, now that it's warm and sunny most of the time. They enrolled in preschool and have been doing quite well, making friends, playing with blocks and legos, and enjoying recess. While having similar personalities, Marcus is a little quieter than Max, although their helping eachother adjust to their new life.Ebony is really sweet. She's very into Disney princesses- every day she's Snow White or Cinderella, or the Little Mermaid, as well as Princess Ebony once in awhile! She's smart and quickly learned her colors; now she walks around saying, "The sky is blue! The grass is green!" She's adorable. I don't think she quite understands that she is going to be a big sister, but I think she'll love Arielle once she's born! Isabelle has contacted us very recently and we discussed our plans for raising Ebony, Max, and Marcus. She was a lovely young woman and we hope to have monthly outings with her and the children. She told us that she was engaged and her wedding was in mid-June- she invited us, and wanted Ebony to be a flower girl, along with her fiancee's five-year-old niece Lily, and Max and Marcus to be the ringbearers. Thank you, Smiley Angel's for giving Ebony, Max, and Marcus new opportunities in our home! - MelissaArielle Norah
