Congrats!Congrats Stephens family! You have been blessed with...Georgiy Spyridon and Makari Yakov are eight year old twins from Russia. They are both lactose intolerant. Their mother died in childbirth, and their father died in a tragic plane accident just last year. Georgiy and Makari are still recovering from the loss of their father. They have a cat named Ania that they are very attached to.Madhur Shailaja and Jyotsana Ila are siamese twin girls from India. After birth their parent's decided to give them up for unknown reasons. Madhur is blind, but Jyotsana is not. They are only about 6mo. And doctors believe that they can be seperated.Please let us know how they are doing and feel free to apply for more children if you like!

One year later...Thank you for giving us such wonderful new additions! Mitchell loves to play with his new brothers and sisters. In fact, Mitchell, Georgiy, and Makari are very close now. Georgiy and Makari just turned nine. They have been seeing a specialist once a week to work no their English and cope with their father's death. Both boys are doing much better. :) We are careful not to feed them any dairy products. Georgiy has found a desire to paint recently. He is a great artist. Makari loves to play baseball and he even joined a rec team. He plays shortstop. Their cat, Ania and our cat Tybalt get along nicely, too.Madhur and Jyotsana were seperated a few days after their first birthday. It was a long recovery, but they are fine and seperate now. We are very glad everything worked out alright. Madhur has an aid to help her learn to walk and help her do daily activities with her blindness. Jyotsana is very happy and talks some now.Thanks again for the great family! ;)
