Help[Games] One Year Update
in reply to a message by Maridawn
Well, Andro has gotten a promotion at work--he is now a supervisor at the plant. Thanks to the payraise, we have been able to have two additional bedrooms built on to the back of our house. Guess what comes next... We would appreciate it if another child, a boy between ages thirteen and sixteen, could be placed with us. We would like to take in a child with behavior problems or other emotional disabilities which would make it more difficult for that child to be placed.
Chelo and Melchor are doing very well. We went this summer to visit Celo's son and the son's mother, and he has been quite happy since the visit. Of course, it was difficult for him to leave them, but Naiara has promised to send pictures every month. Chelo has been attending public school as a sophomore, and is rapidly progressing in his English skills.
Melchor is in the local high school's drama class, and was recently in the school play. He has made one very close friend, another freshman boy named CJ. CJ has helped him a lot in socializing with the other students by teaching him American customs and introducing him to our area's way of life.
Both boys, Chelo especially, had difficulty adjusting to Andro and Cerys, as neither are Christian and the boys were raised Catholic, but are learning to respect their religion or lack thereof. Lucas and Chelo get along very well; Chelo is considering a job in an assisted living agency when he grows up.
Thank you for such wonderful children!

Congrats!
Salathiel Jackson is a fifteen year old boy who watched as his younger sister was beaten to death by his father last year. He is still devastated and speaks very little. He sometimes gets very angry for no apparent reason, and can be somewhat violent. Because of these outbursts, he has been deemed unadoptable. He is really a sweet boy though, and will love to be in a family with so many children. His hobbies include reading, drawing, and writing poetry.

Thiel has been a challenge, but he is doing much better. He and Chelo got in a fight a few weeks back, but they are getting along better now, and the tension has decreased dramatically since then. He has been going to a counselor every other week, and they seem to be making progress. Thiel is quite the poet, too--he read one of his poems at the local high school's sophomore variety show. He has had some trouble fitting in at school, but has been accepted by three junior boys, and recently spent the weekend with one of them.
Thank you for blessing our family with three wonderful sons.
