HelpRe: Here you are!
in reply to a message by Alice
It has been 12 months since Carlos and Felipe joins the Presleys and they have flourished!
Both children were understandably quiet and unsure when they first came to England; their time in the care home meant they weren't where they should be in their emotional development and they struggled to communicate in either Spanish or English.
But now they're bouncy, happy 6 year old chaps who love school and are making amazing progress. Mollie and James are still super keen for Carlos and Felipe to keep learning Spanish so in addition to the short lessons during schooling, they go to Spanish classes once a week. Alongside Octavia and Tasha, the twins also take up swimming lessons - the first time they've been swimming - and have recently taken up football too.
Octavia and Tasha have taken well to their new brothers, they have gone into Tasha's class at school and she is very proud to tell everybody that they are her brothers while on the playground Octavia is fiercely protective of the quiet, Spanish boys. The school have been amazing in making Carlos and Felipe to feel welcome from putting Spanish labels around the classroom to covering adoption in their PSHE curriculum.
The family is looking forward to many more happy years raising their four beautiful children.
