Adopting so many children at once was sure a shock to our family dynamics. Fortunately, Rory and Carly were very understanding and have done their best to help everyone fit in. At first it was difficult because of the language barrier between us and the children. Slowly, we are picking up Russian and Czech and the children have done amazingly well with English.
Nessa, Laya, and Aggie have fared the best so far. They are all taking figure skating lessons and seem to enjoy them. Sofya has probably had the hardest time adjusting, likely because she is the oldest. Sofya is currently taking an ESL class and hopes to enroll in a few classes next year to finish her education. Sofya's children; Maryana and Adam are doing well. Maryana has picked up English very quickly and likes chattering on and on about her day. Adam is a very cute baby. He is quiet, but has his moments of rowdiness like any boy. Kole has begun speaking a few phrases in English and some in Czech. He is going to therapy three days a week and likes his therapist. Jerry is a very good interpreter for his younger brother. He is in the Boy Scouts now and enjoying some time with other boys his age.

Thank you very much for letting us adopt these wonderful children!
