Dear Keassh Family,

We have found eight children for you! The youngest is Tai Niu, from China. She is just two years old. Her parents wanted a boy, so they left her on the door of a Chinese orphanage. She has been in our care for just over a year and has brought a smile to the faces of all our staff. We have given Tai the English nickname of Sara, but you are welcome to change it. The next two are three year old boys. They are not related, but have become very good friends. They are both from Vietnam. Bao Vinh, "Vince", is a happy healthy little boy who loves to play games and tell stories to his friends. Phong Ngai "Finn" is a great little boy, but he is legally blind. Finn and Vince bonded together their first day here at the adoption center and have been inseperable since. The next child, also a boy, is ten year old Javier Mateo from Brazil. His parents died of malaria six years ago. Javier contracted the disease too, but has fully recovered. The oldest boy is thirteen year old Gabriel Kajetan from Poland. Gabriel does not speak any English, but I'm sure he'll learn quickly with such a large family to help him. Gabriel is quiet by nature and it may take some time before he comes out of his shell. The last three children are girls who have lived together for awhile in our Adoption Center, but who are not related. All three girls are from an orphanage in Germany. The German orphanage only keeps children until the age of thirteen, so the girls all came here and were reunited two years ago. Alena Friede is the youngest, at fifteen. She loves to dance and talk with her friends. Gitta Seraphina is seventeen. She loves animals and speaks very little English. Luckily, Alena and Vera can translate for her. Vera Mirjam is eighteen. She is studying very hard in school and wants to go to college. We have enclosed current pictures of Javier, Gabriel, Alena, Gitta, and Vera as well as aged pictures of Sara, Vince, and Finn. We hope you enjoy these wonderful children!
