Thank you for blessing us with thses wonderful children! We gave them all middle names, and since one of our children is already named Ayla, we call her by her middle name, Ellen: Ayla Elena "Ellen" / Charisma Alba / Danika Arden "Dani"/ Nadia Cosima "Nadenka". We just adopted 2 year old quads; our family is growing rapidly.We have 20 kids, not including Ellen, Charisma, Dani, and Nadenka, that are 2 years old-15 years old, so they never have to be alone. Charisma, Phoebe, and Leah have made friends. Leah and Phoebe are also blind and are teaching Charisma sign language. Dani hasn't talked to us yet, but we'll give her time. We understand that she will talk to us in her own time, or she may not (which is also fine). Nadenka loves having so many family members to play sports with. She is a great athlete and has made our school's swim team and has joined dance classes. Ellen is shy, but she has made friends with a lot of her siblings, as many of them love to entertain as well. She is in the drama team at school and hopefully she doesn't have stage fright: she won the lead part in the next school play! All four girls are wonderful and everyone in the family is so happy! Thank you.
