Aisling and Owen, please welcome one set of triplets from England and one set of twins from Ireland!
Olivia Reese, Zachary Cade, and Nicholas Peter are fourteen-year-old triplets from England. Olivia, known as Libby to her friends, has a passion for cooking, and is always ready to whip up a delicious meal. Zachary, sometimes called Zach, is a very good swimmer. He has won several races and hopes to become a professional someday. Cole is an excellent musician- he used to have a band with his friends Matt and Colby. He's hoping to find some friends to start a band with.
Conall Devin and Una Moira are three-year-old twins from Ireland. Conall is an active, wild boy who loves to run around outside. He would love a family to play with, especially with the weather getting warmer. Una loves to dance and sing and play pretend. She's going to be quite the performer some day! Una also has a pet rabbit that she would like to bring with her. She's very attatched to him!

Mandy and Drew, weclome your four adopted German children!
Matthias Martin, age 12, is a quiet boy who is very good in school. In Germany, he was at the top of his class in every subject, although he didn't brag at all about it. However, now his confidence isn't that great since he can't speak much English and needs help from his family to boost his self-esteem.
Svenja Margarethe and Marius Orel are eleven-year-old twins. Svenja loves to be with her friends and go shopping- she's the typical eleven-year-old girl. She's bubbly and loves to have fun. Marius has a Great Dane that he brought from Germany named Zenzi. He and Zenzi have a great time together! Marius is also very athletic and loves soccer.
Marina Zella, ten, was training very hard in Germany to become a famous ballerina, and already she has starred in local productions. She hopes to continue her training with her new family. She can be shy at first, but will warm up to you as she adjusts to her new life.

Thank you very much for our four wonderful children!
Matthias is doing better in school and we got him an English tutor to help him learn faster. Svenja and Marius are a great source of joy to our family. Svenja has already made several friends and is very popular in school. Marius is on the soccer team and he enjoys playing soccer more than anything. Zenzi was a big adjustment for us, because neither of us have ever had a large dog. However, Zenzi is as playful and nice as could be. We are letting Marina continue her dancing and she has done better than I could have imagined.

Hannah, Alexander, Arthur, Matilda, and Cedric, please welcome two sets of American twins!
Alyssa Dawn and Abigail Elise were abandoned at birth. Now, two years old, they want a family to play with them and keep them safe. Alyssa is a little more outgoing than Abigail and loves to run around. Abigail is quiet, and likes to be read to. They're both very smart and are excited about going to school and making new friends, although that will be a few years off.
Evan Charles and Sean Richard, age seven, were also given up at birth by their fifteen-year-old mother Samantha. Now twenty-two, Samantha wants to keep in contact with her sons. Evan is interested in animals and playing with blocks and Legos, Sean is more interested in playing around with his friends outside. The twins brought with them a Great Dane, named Luke.

Sadie, Michel, and Adam, please welcome five-year-old twins from France!
Nathalie Nicole has dark blonde straight hair and hazel eyes. She loves to play dress-up and pretends to be a princess. She speaks French, and a little English, but needs a lot of work to become fluent in English.
Her twin sister, Simone Solange, has dark blonde curly hair and hazel eyes. She wants to be a ballerina and loves pirouetting around the house! Like Nathalie, she needs a lot of work to become fluent in English.
They brought with them their beloved dog Valentin and insist on keeping him, as he's their only reminder of their parents- their father who died in a car crash, and their mother who commited suicide. Valentin is a large poodle and is very lovable.

Ellen, Jim, Laz, Toby, and Fifi, please welcome twins from China!
Heng Huan and Jia Lan, six-year-old twins from China! Heng Huan means "eternal happiness" and Jia Lan means "beautiful orchid." Heng has a cat which he is very attatched to- he named it Wei Wu which means "great sorcerer." He insists he keeps it with his new family. He is a stubborn, but lovable boy. He is pleased to know that his new family has a boy so close in age to him. Jia loves to dance and sing and laugh, and would delight in playing with Fifi. The twins are also interested in keeping their Chinese names but adding on an American name to use at school. Please help them choose a name.

How lovely!
Jia Lan will be a Julia in school, both because it's similar to her Chinese name and because Ellen and Jim admire St. Julia of Certaldo--and Jia Lan liked her story. At home, her siblings have taken to calling her Jiji.
Choosing a name for Heng Huan was more difficult, because it didn't immediately remind his parents of an English name. Because a sound-alike choice didn't seem like it would work, they told him stories of saints and important Biblical characters to see which he found most appealing. He liked St. Francis Xavier a great deal and was especially excited when Jim and Ellen told him that Francis Xavier was the patron saint of China. So Francis Xavier (he insisted on the full name) he is--Frankie for short.
Wei Wu has entered the family well--he's a friendly cat and gets along well with Daisy Pop, the family mutt.

Elise, Brandon, Travis, and Tegan, please welcome four children into your family!
Catalina Dulce, eight, has golden skin and dark hair, with warm brown eyes. She is very into animals and likes to ride horses. She was put into the custody of her grandparents at birth, as her parents could not provide for her and her sibilings. Her grandparents are getting old and cannot care for her any longer.
She has twin brothers, Donato Elias and Enrique Gaspar. They are six years old, and identical, each with round faces and the same eyes as their older sister. Donato is quieter than Enrique, and enjoys playing games such as Tag and Hide-and-Seek. Enrique is looking forward to have a family who can run and jump and swim with him.
They also have a little sister, Inez Loida, who just turned three. She was born without hearing in her left ear. She has learned sign language, but wears a hearing aid most of the time. She is a bubbly child and loves to laugh and play with you- she's looking forward to have a sister her age and will love playing with Tegan!

Catalina seems to enjoy looking after the other children, especially Tegan. We have bought her a horse so at least there is something she really likes. Catalina enjoys my homemade chips! Donato and Enrique are so hard to tell the difference between and I get so mixed up, they just laugh. We take the whole family swimming each week and all the kids play hide and seek together. Inez loves playing with Tegan and Travis, they are picking up sign language in bits.

Katherine, James, and Georgie, we're pleased to welcome five children into your family!
Please welcome Alexei Leonid, age seven! Alexei comes from Russia. He is a very smart boy and is interested in science. Alexei, or Alex, as he's sometimes called, has strawberry-blonde hair and big brown eyes. He speaks Russian, as well as some English. He has been in a foster home since he was three years old, when both parents died in a tragic boat accident. His biggest wish is to have a permanent home, and he's excited to meet you!
Alexei has four sibilings, quadruplets. They are four years old. The oldest of the quads is Marina Olya. She is very shy and isn't very trusting. However, once she gets to know you, she'll warm up to you. Next is Yuliya Anya, who is the polar opposite of Marina- she's outgoing, wild, and spontaneous. They both have blonde hair, fair skin, and gray-blue eyes. Lana Klara is the third of the quads. She's a very good reader and can read mostly English, with a little Russian. She's quiet and loves to cuddle with her sibilings at night. She has red hair and gray-blue eyes. However, Lana has some growth problems and as a result, is smaller than the rest of the quads. She has learned to work around this and is accepting of her problem. Sergei Rurik is the youngest of the quads, and looks up to Alex. Sergei loves Superman, and pretends to fly sometimes! He has red hair and brown eyes like his brother.

Now that our daughter, Georgie, is twenty-two and is on her own, James and I were becoming lonely in our big house. So we decided to adopt a set of siblings from Russia: Alexei, Marina, Yuliya, Lana, and Sergei. One year later, this is what they're up to:
Alexei, who calls himself Alex, is the oldest, at eight. He started in third grade this year. Alex had a bit of trouble with the reading at first, but he's amazing in math and science -- He won second place in the school science fair this year! James has been trying to get Alex into some sports, and they seem to enjoy playing hockey together. Alex is a wonderful little boy, and is a big help with his sisters and brother.
Marina is very quiet, but she has a great bond with her siblings. She went to day camp this summer with the quads, and she was very taken with the art classes there. While she didn't make as many friends at camp as Yuliya, Marina did make one good friend, a little girl named Jenna, who we were pleased to see was in her kindergarten class this year.
Yuliya has been calling hersilf Julia lately, because she said it's "better". James and I weren't sure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, but we decided that she could if she wanted to. Julia loved day camp with a passion, and as I would drive the four of them home each afternoon, Julia's voice was always chattering along about some friend or game she had played that day. She loves school as well, though her teacher said she sometimes has trouble concentrating.
