Congratulations!
Congratulations Elise and Brandon!We have found four children for you.Meiying Lian and Xiu Mei Marrim are four year old twin girls from China. Their parents wanted to keep them, but because Meiying and Xiu Mei weren't boys, they had to give them up. They are healthy and developmentally normal. Xiu Mei is the larger of the two and was born first. She loves to draw and paint and is very good. Meiying is a "little mommy." She loves to play house and take care of her baby dolls.
Both girls speak English and Chinese.Alexi Christoff, six years old; and Dimitri Michail, three years old, are brothers from Russia. They came to the center when their parents were murdered. The boys did not witness this. They are healthy, but are mildly depressed. They miss their parents terribly. Alexi loves to cook and always wants to help, no matter what you are doing. Dimitri is the shy one. Even though he can't read yet, he will pretend to. Both boys speak English and Russian.We know they will fit in with your family and would love to hear how their arrival went

Meiying has found the dolls house in the back bedroom and sits and plays for hours with it, the baby dolls go to bed every night in her room. They girls speak Chinese within themselves, which I think is cute but they English to us. Xiu Mei has been painting pictures for each of the children, it helps them bond. Alexi asks about is parents more than Dimitri and they both get upset. Alexi has been helping to cook with me and all the kids make buns every week. Dimitri is getting extra help from the teachers to help him to read and we read to them every night.**miss_smiley**
