Congratulations! You have adopted Albina and Lio Caito, siblings from Italy. Both are Catholics who speak Italian and English. Albina is twelve years old. She is a budding writer, and a bookworm who will devour any book she can get her hands on! She has a nut allergy, so you’ll need to be careful with food. Lio is a quiet eight year old who loves animals and is more comfortable with them than most people, so will make fast friends with your dog Lola!
Please keep me updated with their progress.

Thank you! Despite requesting younger children beforehand, Albina and Lio fit right in to our family and we wouldn't want to swap them for anything. Lucas enjoys taking them to church with him on Sundays and Clara loves reading and discussing books with Albina. Lio and Paloma have become very close and enjoy playing together, especially with Lola - who, as you predicted, gets on brilliantly with Lio. Lio has started Paloma's school in the grade above her - grade 3 - and Albina just started secondary school in grade 7. They seem to be settling in well, although Lio hasn't made many friends in his grade yet and is spending recess with Paloma and her friends. We are very pleased with this addition to our family; thank you again for matching us.
