Aron Gunnar and Joakim Konrad are brothers from Sweden. They lived with their single mother in a small two-bedroom house. When she died unexpectedly, the boys were left alone in the house until almost a week later. Seven-year-old Aron, though still struggling some with his mother's loss, is a bright and cheerful boy for the most part. He is rather reserved and prefers to be alone with a book than in a large crowd, though he does fine with just a few people around. At two years of age, Joakim is a very active child, always getting into things, and runs around like crazy. Besides being active, Joakim also loves to paint.

Julia Grace is a sweet little one year old from the USA. Her teen mother tried to raise her on her own for awhile, but she decided it was just too stressful without support and had to give Julia up. Julia enjoys dress-up more than anything else, she is always oohing and aahing over anything sparkly and pretty.

Please update us on how your children are adjusting to your family.
