Re: Bopperlynn's Adoption Agency
in reply to a message by Nicola17
-Gregory Scott, Kenneth Michael, and Coleman Sawyer are brothers from New York. Greg and Ken are twins, aged 13. Greg likes baseball, movies, hanging out with friends, and swimming. He's upbeat and kind but will tell you when he disagrees. Ken likes to read, swim, play soccer and basketball, and does well in school. Due to abuse throughout childhood and trying to balance his life, Ken has become a cutter. He has attempted suicide twice and if once more, he may be put in an institute permanantly. Cole is 16 years old and a father to a 2 month old named Joanna Beatrise. The mother refuses to let Cole see his baby and would like to eventually gain full custody of Jo. He believes he has a good chance because she's off track doing drugs and sleeping with various strangers. All three are Wiccans and have remained unadopted because they wish to stay Wiccan.
-Magdalena Guinevere is a 15 year old from Montana. Vera loves sports, especially soccer and volleyball. She does excellent in school by maintaining straight 'A's in all honor classes. She also likes animals, nature, and literature. She has severe emotional problems that she keeps buried inside. Her psychiatrist says this may eventually make her hurt herself, although there are no signs of attempt of suicide as of now. She has a brown mackeral maine coon kitten named Storm [female].
-Alexander Joel is 14 and from Illinois. He likes nature, reading, video/computer games, movies, and most sports. Alex is friendly and kind but can be shy. He has mild allergies but takes medicine for it.
Please keep us updated on Greg, Ken, Cole, Alex and Vera!

Update
Greg has settled in well, and has found a friend in Jacob, a 14-year-old Wiccan boy we adopted. He surprised us by doing very well with baby Paul as well, and was rewarded with Paul saying something other than 'no' when they were playing a few days ago.
Ken had a bit more trouble settling in, as he was afraid of how the other children would react to his cutting. To his relief, they accepted him readily. Mami even chose to speak to him, a high compliment. He sees a psychologist every Wednesday evening, and she is pleased with his progress. Ken has not tried to kill himself again, although it will take time and effort to recover from his addiction.
Cole is doing well. Jazeps and Chelo, who both have one-year-old sons, have taken him under their wings. Cole has not yet gained custody of Jo, but he goes to court in a few days.
Vera had trouble adjusting to such a large family in the beginning, but she now enjoys that she is never on her own. She is somewhat of a tomboy at times, but has also befriended Annika. Storm is having even more trouble than Vera--Mr. Data and Yoda weren't happy to give up part of their turf to a kitten.
Alex was very shy for the first few days, but the hyperness of some of the older boys and Robbie drew him out. He is cautious about the oldest boys, especially Tad and Thiel, but is fine with sharing a room with Robbie.
