Welcome Carter and Mia!Carter Caleb is a 5-year-old boy from Boston, Massachusetts. He has red hair and blue eyes. His parents are yuppies. They were abusing him, so he was taken away. He would like to change his name because he thinks it's ugly. He likes baseball, cars, and dogs. He has Asperger's syndrome.Mia Annette is a 3-year-old girl from Los Angeles, California. She has blond hair and blue eyes. Her parents are unknown. She got into a car accident, shattering her leg. Now she needs support to walk. She likes cartoons, dolls, and playing dress-up.Tell me how the kids are doing.

Thanks! The kids are fitting nicely into our family.Carter is now Ronan Adair Brody as he wanted to change his name. Because of his Asperger's syndrome, Ronan has difficulties in social interaction, but he is slowly developing a friendship with his brother Darwin. Because he likes baseball (and seems to know everything about it) we thought it would benefit him to start playing baseball with other kids. It also helps him to learn important social skills. Ronan has asked if we could adopt a dog for him. We promised that when our friend's dog has puppies, he'll get one of them.Mia is having physical therapy because of her leg. She can walk with crutches now, but because the leg still hurts she's not able to walk much. Mia adores her older sisters Leila and Serene and always wants to play with them. She shares her bedroom with Reese and they often play dress-up and tea party with their dolls and teddy bears.Thanks,
Aubree & Dorian, with Leila, Serene, Darwin, Reese, Ronan & Mia + aunt Katherine
