Finally! Boys! But this time, we turned to adoption. Martyn Pavlo and Adam Petro are 13-year old twin boys from Ukraine. They're parents died in an accident when they were three and have been in an orphanage for most of they're life so far. Both have pale blonde hair, while Martyn has pale blue eyes and Adam has brown eyes. Martyn is very outgoing and a great musician, while Adam like art and is less outgoing. They're both adjusting to our family very well and Chris is thrilled to finally have sons!

Chris and I have not been getting along at all. There were constant arguements and we were all stressed out. We realized things would not get any better, so we ended up getting a divoce. Chris took the boys, while I stayed with the girls. I moved back to Ireland by my parents, so I hardly ever see the boys and Chris hardly sees the girls. It was hard on all the kids, esspecially Lia, a daddy's girl and Katya, who was very close to Chris.xDH: Christophe Salomon "Chris"(42)
