Congratulations!
Dear Kingsley Family, We have found several children whom we believe will fit in well with your family. Their names are Adéläide Benoite, Aurélie Esther, Emeline Paulette, Sacha Mathilde, and Martin Hercule. All of the children are from France. Adéläide was orphaned at the age of seven, and has not been adopted yet. Aurélie, Emeline, and Sacha are sisters who were taken from neglectful parents. Martin was found roaming the streets at the age of four, and no one ever claimed him as their missing son, so he is now up for adoption. Adéläide is seventeen years old. She likes to paint, and wants to go to an Art School if at all possible. Adéläide speaks both French and English fluently, and has experience translating. She loves animals. Aurélie is also seventeen years old. She is quite timid and fearful of many things. She doesn't like adults much, and prefers to spend her time around young children. Aurélie should have some sort of counselling to help her become comfortable around adults. Emeline is fifteen years old. She is clever and conniving, but has a great sense of loyalty to her sisters. She plays the piano and the flute. Emeline doesn't like school, so it may be a challenge to get her to go. She understands and can speak English fluently, but often referts to speaking French when she is angry or being willful. Sacha is eleven years old. She doesn't understand why her parents did not take care of her, but looks up to Aurélie and Emeline as idols. She speaks French and English fluently. Sacha likes dogs, and would like to get one when she is adopted. She does well in school. Martin is twelve years old. He is very bright but not confident in his abilities. He doesn't ask for much, so you may need to read between the lines of what he says to figure out what he needs/wants. Martin is very strong and likes to work hard. We hope you enjoy your children. Please tell us how they are doing!

Congratulations!
Dear Jackson Family, We have found five children who we think would do wonderfully in your family. Their names are Mykhaila Rose, Sofiya Anne, Kalyna June, Marius Malte, and Stefan Lauritz. Mykhaila, Sofiya, and Kalyna are from the Ukraine. Their parents could not afford to take care of them anymore, so they were given up for adoption. Marius and Stefan are brothers from Denmark. Their parents are not known, though their mother left a note with us telling us their names and ages. Mykhaila, Sofiya, and Kalyna are two months old. They are identical triplets and very attatched to one another. Their names can be changed so that they sound more English. Kalyna is lactose-intolerant, so we request that she be given special soy formula instead of regular formula. All of the girls are very sweet and will capture your heart immediately. Marius is three years old. He is a smart little boy, but a little confused about where his mother is. Marius likes to watch cartoons and is very artistic. Marius likes to play catch as well. He is very protective of his little brother. Stefan is one year old. He is walking already, but unsteadily. He talks a lot in words that only Marius seems to understand. Stefan is very fun to be around, and is very compliant with our requests. We hope you enjoy your new children. Please tell us how they are doing!

Congratulations!
Dear Greyson Family, We have found three children whom we think would be the perfect additions to your family! Their names are Mei Yi, from China; Marya Kristina, from Russia; and Abhay Khwaja, from India. Mei Yi's family did not want to keep a girl, so they gave her up for adoption. Marya was orphaned last month in a car accident where she lost her grandparents, parents, and older brother. Abhay has lived on the streets for his whole life. His mother died two years ago from a disease much like Cholera. Mei Yi is six months old. She loves being held and likes being with other children. She seems to like animals and is very gentle with them. Mei Yi can sit up and makes a lot of talking sounds. She is intelligent and promises to be a wonderful child. Marya is three years old. She likes to play dolls and chatters in Russian all the time. She doesn't know much English, but she is a fast learner so it shouldn't be too hard for her to learn. Marya has always wanted a sister. Abhay is four years old. He is small for his age due to malnutrition and living in poverty. We have been teaching Abhay English, and he already knows a lot. Abhay is a very sound sleeper and rarely wakes up for anything. He likes lions, cars, and playing games.We hope you enjoy your children. Please tell us how they are doing!

We are so thankful for our wonderful children... we cannot imagine life without their smiles and giggles (and cries as well!)Seb has transformed into a wonderful father this past year. Because of the intensity of my career, Seb has postponed his to care for the kids the past year. He has been able to work from home mostly, taking photos of the kids and neighborhood.Mei is the love of both my and little Marya's life. She is very intelligent and loving, and does not cry very often. She has learned to speak, and now she can talk like a two to three year old. Mei has begun to walk, and her favorite food is peaches. She loves to sit with her big sister and look at pictures.Marya is the sweetest girl imagineable. Although there was some difficulty with the primary language barrier, spending time with Mei helped her to break out of her shell and start communicating. Marya is fluent now, and both Seb and I have learned our fair share of Russian. Marya has made two close friends, Eliza and Ray, and she spends her time drawing and playing with our puppy Theo.Abhay, whom we call Abe, is adjusting well. He has already put on a good amount of weight, and he is much healthier. He learned English along with Marya, and he still loves to play with cars. His favorite toy is his stuffed Lion, Luka.Thank you! We are so happy.The Greyson Family,
Seb, Iris, Abe, Marya, and Mei

Congratulations!
Dear Fair Family, We have found six children in need of a home. They are siblings named Charlotte Marie, Thomas Jacob, Andrew Louis, Stephanie Adelaide, Declan Moses, and Sarah July. Their father died of lung cancer shortly before Sarah was born. Their mother passed away several weeks ago of cervical cancer. Charlotte and Thomas have been doing their best to take care of their siblings, but it is not working well. They are from the UK.Charlotte and Thomas are six year old twins. They are lovely children, though prone to bouts of sadness and crying due to the passing of their mother. Charlotte especially tries hard to take care of her younger siblings, and she is very mature. Thomas is a bright kid, very ingenious. He likes to invent things and has said that he would like to be an inventor when he grows up. Andrew is four. He is very quiet and looks to Charlotte and Thomas for leadership. Andrew likes horses and dogs. He wants to be a horse trainer when he grows up. Stephanie is three. She is loud and boisterous. She likes to run around and would be very good at soccer or ballet. Stephanie likes to be in charge, though she has three older siblings and she can be a little headstrong. Declan is two. He is also quiet and timid. Declan follows Stephanie around everywhere, and she bosses him around. Declan feels very lost when he isn't around his siblings, so it would be good for him to share a room with Andrew. Sarah is just four months old. She is a lively baby, much like Stephanie. She likes to make noise and giggle and coo. She is trying to crawl around and follow her siblings already, but she hasn't figured it out yet.We hope you enjoy your new children. Please send us an update on them!

2 years later......Hello! It has been 2 years since we adopted Charlotte Marie "Charlie" , Thomas Jacob "Tommy" , Andrew Louis "Drew", Stephanie Adelaide "Stephie" , Declan Moses "Dec" and Sarah July. Abbi, our DD, is now 9 years old. She loves helping Charlie take care of her younger siblings. She has been playing the piano lately and has become quite good at it. She has her first recital this Saturday!
She is now in 3rd grade and absolutely loves her teacher.Charlie, who is now 8, has just started the second grade! She is doing very well and has made many new friends. She and Abbi have been a huge help with the younger children. Charlie has taken up ballet and loves it! Tommy, who is also now 8 and in the second grade, has been very busy. He is currently doing karate, which he enjoys so much! It is great to see him smile! We also got him involved in an after-school activity in which they learn how to build things. You should see the house decorations he has built! They are amazing!Drew is now 6 years old and in 1st grade. He loves school and never gives us an argument about doing his homework. He has been playing soccer and loves it! It gives him a great release for his energy! We also got him a dog, whom he named Chester!Stephie, who is now 5 years old and in kindergarten, has grown up so fast, but she is still very loud and loves to run around constantly. We also got her involved in soccer and ballet, which has been great because she loves running around (but her ballet teacher doesn't like that too much :)
We are trying to get her to control her argumentative way when she doesn't get to be in charge, and she's progressing well I think.Declan is 4 and he has become such a social little boy! You would never believe it was him! He still feels a little bit lost when none of his siblings are around, and still has a room right next to Drew, but he has opened up a lot! He is very bright and he is playing T-ball, which he thinks is the best! He is attending preschool 3 days a week and is so excited to ride the big yellow school bus!

Congratulations!
Dear Montgomery Family, We believe that we have found the perfect children for you! Their names are Jutta Marlis and Otto Bernd. They are siblings from Germany who were orphaned when a fire killed their parents and two older brothers. Jutta is nine. She is very smart and likes numbers. She also likes doing magic tricks with her brother. Jutta does well in school, and shows no ill effects from the death of her family. She does attend counselling though, just in case. Otto is three. He has some trouble falling asleep and appears to suffer from nightmares. He relies on Jutta a lot. He attends counselling and play therapy classes every week and is doing well. Otto's favorite things are cows.We hope that you enjoy your children. Tell us how they are doing!

Congratulations!
Dear Kane Family, We have found some children who we think will fit in wonderfully with your family. Their names are Carlos Elian, Isabel Luz, Hailey Marina, Nicholas Ian, Zoraida Ariana "Aida", and Calixta Emiliana. Carlos and Isabel are from Venezuela. They never knew their mother, but their father was recently tried and sentenced to jail for his part in a large drug smuggling ring. They don't know of any family members. Hailey and Nicholas are twins from the United States. Their mother did not want them, and the father is not known. Aida's father (her closest and only living relative) passed away last month in a drive-by shooting. Calixta was orphaned at the age of three, and is very close to finally finding a home.Carlos is ten years old. He is very smart, and likes to play with cars. Carlos speaks mostly Spanish, but does know some English and communicates pretty well with signs when he can't figure out the words. Carlos is a gifted musician, and he plays the harp, lute, and violin exceptionally well. Isabel is six years old. She relies on Carlos to interpret for her because she knows no English. Isabel seems to be quite intelligent. She likes to play soccer and is fascinated by airplanes and helicopters. Hailey and Nicholas are just four days old. They still look very identical, but Nicholas' eyes are a much darker shade than his sister's hazel ones. They sleep well for infants, and don't eat too much. Their mother hoped that they would be raised in a stable, loving environment. Aida is fifteen years old. She likes field hockey, writing, and flirting with boys. Aida speaks English fluently, though has begun reverting to Spanish since the death of her father. We are confident that Aida will eventually begin to speak English again once she settles in to her new home. Aida brings with her a dog, Pogo. Pogo is an eight year old Spanish Mastiff. He is well behaved and fully house trained. Pogo is the only connection Aida has left to her family.Calixta is fourteen years old. She enjoys anything that has to do with science. She wants to be a wildlife researcher someday, and works hard in school to achieve her dreams. Calixta speaks mainly English, but has a heavy Spanish accent. Calixta gets along well with other kids and should have no problems in your home. We hope that you enjoy your new children. Please tell us how they are doing!

Congratlations!
Dear Fox Family, We have found seven children for you to adopt. Their names are Adéle Christanne, Aimée Dominique, Benoit Absolon, Laure Marise, Alexei Roman, Natalya Faina, and Yevgeniy Pavlo. Adéle, Aimée, Benoit, and Laure are our only quadruplets. They are from France where their overwhelmed parents could not care for four of them at once. Alexei, Natalya, and Yevgeniy are siblings from Russia. Their mother died of an unknown illness and their father was never in the picture. Adéle, Aimée, Benoit, and Laure are exceptional French quadruplets. They are eleven years old, and very very smart. They like to play tricks (especially Aimée and Benoit). Adéle likes to write songs and short stories. Aimée is an outdoorsy type girl who likes hiking, rock climbing, and skiing. Benoit likes baseball and has recently discovered that he also likes basketball. Laure is the quietest of the bunch. She likes listening to music and drawing pictures. Alexei is nine years old. He is the leader of his siblings, and a take charge kind of person. He speaks little English, but is learning fast. He likes ice hockey and would like to play someday. He does all right in school, but isn't the kind of kid who likes to sit and study. Natalya is seven years old. She is clever and can sew very well. In fact, she has sewn some of her own and her brothers' clothing. She is no good at cooking, but would love to learn. Natalya likes cats.

Thank you so much for these children! We are happy to have them. The quadruplets are doing very well. They are in advanced classes at school, and their teachers say that they are some of the best students they've ever had. Adele's English teacher has read some of her short stories, and says that she is very talented. We are encouraging Adele to keep writing. She says that she would like to be a famous writer someday. Aimee is a very energetic young lady! She definitely keeps us busy, with long hikes every weekend and other activities throughout the week. She is in a rock climbing club at school and she is quickly making friends that share her interests. Benoit is just as athletic is Aimee. He is on the baseball team and the basketball team, and somehow he still manages to keep up with his schoolwork. We love going to his games and watching him play. He is one of the best players on the team, and says he would like to be a professional athlete someday. Laure is a wonderful girl. She spends most of her time in her room listening to music. She shows us some of her drawings, and they are very nice! We are trying to encourage her to join the art club at school, and she seems interested. We hope that it will help her to make some friends. Alexei is a great boy. He is learning English very quickly, and we think he will speak it fluently within a few months. When he told us he would like to play ice hockey, we instantly signed him up for a local team. He is having a great time playing hockey and hanging out with other boys his age. He has already made several new friends. Natalya is wonderful. She continues to sew, and has made several gifts for her new siblings. She has joined a sewing club at her school where she is meeting lots of new people. We are beginning to teach her to cook, and she is learning very quickly. She has been begging for a cat, so we are considering adopting one from a shelter for her.

Dear Orr Family, We have found two little boys for your family. Their names are Li Wei and Huo Chang. The boys are both from China, where their parents already had two children and could not raise another. Li, often called Liam by the staff, is just under two months old. He is adorable. Liam seems to like animals, and shows no fear of anything. He likes to eat. He sleeps almost anywhere and is a joy to be around. Huo, often called Henry by the staff, is a year old today. He is almost walking, but definitely crawling. Henry likes to smell things and lick things, so watch out for that. Henry likes to play with other children, but is not at all bossy. We hope you enjoy your new little boys. Please tell us how they are doing!

Congratulations!
Dear Brulee Family, We have found seven darling girls for you to adopt. Their names are Kiana Leilani, Rosabel July, Colette Joy, Rivka Shayna, Zahra Aubrey, Michaela Rose, and Rowan Laurel. Kiana is from Hawaii. She has been on the streets for as long as she can remember. Rosabel is from England. She and her sister Colette were removed from an abusive relationship with their single father. Rivka is from Israel. Her parents thought it best that she grow up in a place where she didn't have to worry about wars all the time and staying safe. Zahra, Michaela, and Rowan are sisters from Australia. Both Zahra and Michaela are allergic to peanuts, and this has kept many families from wanting to adopt them. The girls' parents died in a boating accident six summers ago. Kiana is eight and a half years old. She is a beautiful little girl, well suited to modelling. She enjoys playing with friends and practicing on the flute. Kiana did not begin formal schooling until last year, but she is already almost caught up to third grade level. She has a pet ferret named Lilo (after Lilo and Stitch). Lilo can be a little mischevious, but is an all around good animal. Rosabel is fourteen. She is very afraid of men, and likes going to a place where she can surround herself with lots of sisters. She is very smart, but often keeps things to herself. We recently gave Rosabel a journal to write in, and she has been doing well with it. Rosabel likes to play field hockey. Colette is eleven. She is Rosabel's younger sister. She does not particularly like men either, but is a bit more trusting. She can't wait to start playing soccer. Colette isn't really good in school, but she's very athletic and gets along well with people. She'd like to try tennis out too, it you have time. Rivka is nine weeks old. She is an adorable baby with very Jewish features. Rivka is not very fussy and seems to have adjusted well to being without her mommy and daddy.

Dear Funk Family, We have found seven children whom we believe will suit your family. Their names are Adelaide Rose "Addy", Samantha Joy "Sammy", Nicolette May "Nicky", Sara Josephine, Michael Ambrose "Mikey", Collin Peter, and Zachary Elian "Zach". Addy is from Scotland, as is Sammy. Both girls were born to single mothers who could not care for them. Nicky, Sara, and Mikey are triplets from the Ukraine, but were given English names by the orphanage they were found at. Nothing is known of their history. Collin was born in England, but his mother died of cancer two years after he was born, and his father died not long ago in an auto accident. Zach was given up for adoption because his parents could not deal with his disability any more. Zach has autism, and has more or less shut himself off from the world. Addy is nearly 3 months old. She has hit all of her developmental milestones so far, and likes the company of other people. She is completely healthy and ready to belong to a family. Addy has a stuffed teddy bear given to her by her mother. We would appreciate it if she was allowed to keep it. Sammy is two years old. Her mother, Ella, had problems with depression and schizophrenia. Sammy is a joyful child and full of laughter. She is very smart and already knows most of her colors, numbers, shapes, and letters. She cannot read yet, but we are sure she will be reading soon.

Dear Pieters Family, We have found two children for you that we think will fit in wonderfully with your family. Their names are Eric James and Owen Jacob. Eric and Owen are two month old twin boys from England. Their mother (a 17 year old) could not take care of them by herself, so she decided to give them up for adoption in hopes of a better life for her boys. Eric and Owen are completely healthy and ready to move in with their new family. They are identical and have dark brown hair and hazel eyes. Eric sleeps almost all the way through the night, though Owen wakes up rather frequently. The boys are pretty good all around, and not too fussy. Their mother, Angela Rose, would like it very much if you would send her a letter or two every year just telling her how the boys are doing. She understands if you do not wish to do this, but says it would make her very happy. We hope that you enjoy your new little boys! Please send us an update on them when you can!

Congratulations!Dear Hammel Family, We have found three wonderful children for you to adopt. Their names are Elodia Marcela, André Cruz, and Melissa Anne. Elodia and André are siblings from Spain. They were orphaned when Elodia was two and André was one. Because André has a moderate stutter in his English speech, he and Elodia have not been considered for adoption by many families. Melissa is a happy-go-lucky four year old who was given to us by the court system after both parents signed away their rights.Elodia is fourteen years old. She speaks not only Spanish and English, but also Italian and some German. She is hoping to learn Japanese soon as well. Elodia is a very ambitious young girl. She wants to be a translator one day. Elodia is driven to succeed and does well in nearly everything she does. She plays the piano quite well, though she has never had a formal lesson. She is very protective of André, and has helped him the best she can. André is thirteen years old. He is a sweet kid, but kind of quiet and withdrawn due to his stuttering. He goes to a speech therapist twice a week and has progressed immensely. André prefers to speak only Spanish (because he does not stutter), but we encourage him to speak English as much as possible. André loves to read, and devours any and every book he can get his hands on. He is learning how to swim at the moment and would like to continue his lessons. Melissa is four years old. She is very outgoing and not afraid to speak her mind. She is very smart and remembers everything. Melissa has a lot of energy, and is currently doing gymnastics to help her get rid of some excess energy. She likes playing dress up and playing with dolls. We hope that you enjoy these children. Please write back and tell us how they are doing!

We wered delighted to welcome Elodia, Andre and Mellisa into our home. Elodia just started her freshman year at one of the best exam schools in Portsmouth, which she got into despite the different curriculum she had been learning in Spain. She is really enjoying high school and is making lots of new friends. In addition, she is taking Japanese as her foreign language and is playing soccer on the freshman team.
Andre is in the neighborhood middle school in eighth grade. He was a little hesitant and worried about starting school becasue of his stutter, but he has found some nice friends and is beginning to feel more confident in speaking English. He has joined the swim team at the local Y, and is really enjoying that a lot. He also love trips to the college library with Charlotte.
Melissa has started pre-school three days a week, and is in daycare the other two days. She loves gymnastics, and can't wait to join a team when she is eight years old.
The family is planning a trip with all five Hammel children to Spain this summer.

Congratulations!
Dear Warberton Family, Thank you for your interest in providing a home to so many children! We have seven children whom we believe will fit in well with your family. Their names are Devdan Firdos "Dev", Lilavati Madhu, Kumari Sonal, Manjula Rashmi, Pranav Vivek, Indah Tri, and Citra Utari. The first five children are siblings from southern India. They lived in poverty along with their parents. Unfortunately, both parents passed away from tuberculosis along with another sister. Thankfully, the children are healthy though Lilavati, Manjula, and Pravav also had tuberculosis. Inda and Citra are sisters from the Indonesian island of Bali. After a flash flood washed away their village, the girls were found high in a tree. No other survivors from their village have been found, and nothing is known of the girls' history. Devdan, called Dev by his siblings, is 12 years old. He is the leader and his younger siblings clearly look up to him for provision. Dev seems to have some schooling, and he can speak English enough to get by. Dev's favorite pasttime is kickball, a game he picked up while staying here in the orphanage. Lilavati is around 11 years old. She is in a somewhat fragile state of health, though we assume that she was once a strong child. Her bout with tuberculosis almost killed her, and she still suffers from frequent upper repiratory infections. It is recommended that you not enroll her in school where she may be subject to an array of bacteria and germs. Instead, she would probably do best with a tutor. Lilavati enjoys reading, especially books on Indian culture and religion.Kumari is nine years old. She is a vibrant, active little girl who is not afraid to share her feelings. She misses her parents very much, and looks up to Dev and Lilavati as a sort of 'replacement parents'. It should not take her long to adjust to you and your family. Her favorite pasttime is also kickball. You will often find her tagging along behind Dev.

Thank you for our wonderful new children. Our boys are thrilled with their siblings. It has been one year since we received our children.Dev has joined a soccer team. He is active in that and in his school. We gave hired tutors for him as well as getting him involved with the ESL program at his school. His English is much better. He has also met another boy around his age who was born and raised in India. Our families have become great friends. We will all be travelling together to India this summer.Lilavati "Lily" is doing very well. After a few months of intensive therapy, her lungs improved a lot. She still has trouble, but she has an inhailor and a nebulizer to use when she needs it. She has been taught by a tutor, whom she has become quite close to.Kumari "Mari" has also joined a soccer team. She is friends with everyone she meets. She loves being part of our family and has grown quite close to her "new mommy and daddy".Manjula "Julie" has blossomed. Her language developement has improved quite a bit. She speaks mostly English now. She is an easy going girl. She still doesn't run much, but mostly because she isn't in that much of a hurry.Pranav "Prani" has grown so much! He is walking now. He only speaks some words, but the words he does speak, he speaks them a lot.Indah is doing great! We enrolled her in ballet and she is blossoming. She loves it! She loves having brothers. They care for her very well. She is still scared of water, although it is fading. We initially had to give her sponge baths because she was afraid of the tub. She has now seen her siblings use the bath and be ok. She is slowly losing her fear.Citra is also losing her fear of water. Hers is going away a little quicker since she is younger. She is very fond of our sandbox. She builds many castles. She is an adventerous child. She just loves to play and explore.Thank you for our great new family.
