Re: Ebba's adoption agency
in reply to a message by estel
Congratulations Lydia, Wil, Noah, Bekah and Marina!
Your new children and siblings are nine year old Jason Aaron, eight year old identical twins Clementine Linda and Katelyn Alannah and seven year old Chloe Eilidh.Jason, Clemmie, Katelyn and Chloe are siblings in desperate need of a new home and a fresh start. A home full of abuse by their stepfather, they were taken into care a year ago along with there baby twin sisters who have found a home elsewhere.Jason is a lovely young boy, who is extremely helpful and kind and will fit into his new home seemlessly. He does well at school and has some firm friends and enjoys ballet which he is very good at, he will need encouragement to persue this talent as it is thought he could make it at the top. Jason has taken the burden of care for his younger sisters on his young shoulders and it is high time this charming little lad got some of his childhood back.Clemmie and Katelyn are very alike and hard to tell apart, they will often switch places, so watch out for this party trick! Having suffered the worse of the abuse they are also very vulnerable and emotional fragile at the moment and will need to continue with their counselling long into the future. The twins draw strength from each other and often escape into their own fantasy world. The twins will need help in becoming two seperate people and will need understanding and guidance when they decided to face the past and confront their emotions.Chloe also suffered some apalling abuse and is also very vulnerable but unlike her sisters, she is confronting her emotions now. Angry, fraustrated and confused she throughs some big tantrums and can show some very difficult behaviour. Chloe should be allowed to demostrate her anger in a secure environment and her counsellor believes this is just a phase, which is understandable and she will with time get over it. By which she hopefully will have come terms with it and will be able to move on. Jason, Clemmie, Katelyn and Chloe have been through a traumatic time and will need time and patience to adjust and confront their demons. The girls are all behind at school so will need help here as well. All four love to dance and it is advised to enrol them in a dance school where they should flourishPlease tell me how Jason, Clemmie, Katelyn and Chloe get on with you.

Jason, Clemmie, Katelyn, and Chloe are adjusting well. There have been a few roadblocks, but we're doing well.Noah isn't home much because he's away at college. Bekah has been sort of like a second mother to Chloe and the pair has become very close. Marina likes having some younger siblings around and she's been helping them with homework and has even started taking dance classes so she can help them practice. Jason has been having a good time at our house. Since we live fairly close to the adoption agency, he and his sisters have been able to attend the same school. Jason is still doing ballet. Some of the neighborhood boys teased him about it, but Marina and Bekah straightened them out. Clemmie and Katelyn have switched places on us more than we care to count, but now they are starting to be themselves. Clemmie is starting to face her emotions and sometimes suffers mood swings. Katelyn still supresses her emotions, but draws on Clemmie for strength. Chloe still throws angry tantrums, but they've lessened as she and Marina have gotten closer. We enrolled the girls in beginning dance classes and they are doing good. We are also continuing to provide counseling for all four of the children. Jason doesn't need it too much anymore, but his sisters feel very secure when he goes with them to counseling sessions.

Thankyou for telling me how Jason, Clemmie, Katelyn and Chloe have been getting on.
It sounds like it has been a tough journey but you are making real progress with them, i was especially glad to hear that Clemmie has started to face her past. i am pleased your older girls sorted out the boys who were teasing Jason and that he is still carrying on, which shows his great strength of character. Chloe seems to be doing nicley and her friendship with Marina sounds like it has done her a world of good. Katelyn was always the quieter twin, when we knew which was which! It is thought that she suffered some of the worse abuse and this is why it may take her a bit longer than Clemmie to confront it.
Good luck for the future Will, Lydia, Noah, Bekah, Marina, Jason, Clemmie, Katelyn and Chloe.
