[Games] Re: Big Smiles Adoption Center (with a twist)
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. - MelissaArielle Norah

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.
