Welcome Temel!
in reply to a message by bananarama
Temel Musa is a nine year old boy from Turkey. He has black hair and dark brown eyes. He was diagnosed with Diabetes when he was only three years old and was put up for adoption only a year after that. Temel is a happy child though who loves sports. He loves animals and soccer (football in most places.) He would like a new pet.
We would love to hear how Temel is doing

Doing excellent!
We all love Temel and feel that our family is complete now. The older three expressed concern about his diabetes, but they accepted him eventually. They sometimes help give him his insulin injections.
The first day was great. Temel eagerly went into our home. Cengiz appears to be the closest to him because they're only a year apart. They now share a room. Kemal took Temel to his soccer game and actually let him play. Later, me and Fikri showed Temel around the city, including where he would attend school in a few weeks.
On the second day, Esma, Sümeyya, and Latife took Temel shooping. They bought him new clothes, sports gear, and a parakeet. Later, me and the boys took him to the nearby swimming pool. He really enjoyed that. When we got home, we found that Züleyha had made Temel an embroidered pillow that said "welcome" in Turkish.
The third day was Friday. In the morning, I took Temel and Cengiz to the park. I brought my camera and took pictures. That afternoon, the whole family went to Friday prayers at the nearby mosque. That night, we watched TV together.
Now we have had Temel for a full three weeks. He is doing great. Fikri writes stories for him and Latife takes him shopping. Temel attends and participates in Kemal's soccer practices. He likes his new parakeet and takes good care of him. He even helps Cengiz walk.
Unfortunately, Temel's real parents have moved to far-off England, so we can't see them. Temel can call his parents, though. But his grandma lives on the other side of Izmir, so he can visit her.
