Thankyou,
Shane and
Amanda are settling in well with us.
It has taken
Shane a while to get used to living with us, and we have had a few run ins with the law, which we have dealt with.
Shane despite his tough exterior is still a very insecure little boy inside and has a lot of issues that are being dealt with by his cousellor. We have had trouble keeping him in school as he often play truant, but we are sticking by him and he is coming to trust us and in turn his behaviuor is startin to turn a corner. He adores
Chrissie and spoils her rotten,
Chrissie loves having an 'cool' older brother and the pair are thick as thives sometimes.
Amanda or Jazzy as she still insists we call her is also doing well. At school it took her a while to settle but to her delight she has found a small group of quiet girls who have welcomed her into their group. Her self-confidence is still quite low but with a secure base at home and some supportive friends, watching the improvements in her self esteem have been truly gratifying. She loves to go on girly shopping trips with me and we have enrolled her in singing classes. She has a bit of a love hate relationship with
Chrissie, who is a bit in awe of her and copies her. But i guess this is like any normal sibling relationship!
Thankyou again
from
Christian,
Laura,
Shane, Jazzy and
Chrissie
