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.
