To
Caspian, Sonora and all the kids: Here are your new family members:
Hanna-Lara and her sister
Lilja-Pala (ages 7 and 3) are from Iceland. Their grandfather who raised them just died. Hanna-Lara is a great skier. Lilja-Pala hasn't spoken since her parents died, but we think she will start again soon.
Noemi Palmera (2) is from Cuba. Her parents died in a hurricane; she almost died too. Even though
Noemi has recovered, she has a horrible fear of water. She is a cute little kid who always manages to make a mess.
Elsa Karla (4),
Lena Lisbet (4) and
Kerstin Teodora (14) are siblings from Sweden. Their mother died giving birth to their little brother and their father was the captain of a ship that sank only a few weeks after the mother died.
Kerstin refused to be separated from the twins, and know they are all happy to have found a new family. They love their ferret
Thorbjörn.
Let us know how the girls are doing!
The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one. (Elbert Hubbard)
