We have two beautiful girls for you!Alessandra Charise [5] and her little sister Melanie Rosabelle [4].
Both girls were born to English parents in Haiti. Their parents both died there a few days after Melanie was born, and since then the two girls have been in an orphanage in Haiti. They are now getting the gist of English, and are excited to have a new family. Melanie can be very agressive at times, and it takes Sandy's gentle nature to calm her. Melanie likes running and is very energetic. Sandy likes dancing and wants to be a ballerina one day.Please keep us posted!

I didn't want any older than 4, so I am changing the ages to 4 and 3.LN: Vincent
DH: Christopher Jacob [29]
DW: Summer Jeanna [28]DS: Damian Connor [7]
DD: Anika Faith [5]
AD: Alexandra Charlotte "Lexi" [4]
AD: Melanie Belle "Lane" [3]With Alessandra's concent we changed her name to Alexandra, and once Anika started to call her Lexi, it stuck. Lexi has been such a great girl and has been adjusting very well, especially because Anika and her are so close. Anika and her both joined a ballet class together and they both love it. They have a preformance soon and they just got their costumes. Anika has a purple one and Lexi has a white one.
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketLexi has already learned almost perfect English and is so good about helping her sister learn it too. Lane, as we have come to know her, is not settling in as well as he sister. She really enjoys running around with the dogs, and they have been good companions for her. She is slowly learning english but still tries to get away with just speaking kreole.
