Camille Pauline is a 15 year old from France. She was kicked out by her single father after he discovered that she is pregnant. She has been very hard for the agency to place not only because of her age and pregnancy, but also because she refuses to go anywhere without her boyfriend, the child's father. Camille is due in about two months. She loves to dance, sing, read, and write. Since being kicked out by her own family, she has become passionate about wanting to help young mothers and fathers in similar situations.
Lucas Julien is Camille's 16 year old boyfriend. He was put into foster care at birth and has never had a stable home. He wants to be a loving father to his child and be a part of his child's life. Lucas likes to paint, play most sports, hike, and help injured animals. He thinks he'd like to have a future career that involves helping animals.
Both Camille and Lucas speak fluent English and Russian, in addition to their native French. They have decided to keep the gender of their child a surprise. They have no names chosen, but they'd like at least a French middle name. They don't want to feel pressured into getting married solely because they have a child together, but they have both expressed love toward one another and the desire to marry once they're a little older.
Please keep the agency updated on how Camille, Lucas, and their child adjust!

To all at the agency!
We would like to thank you most sincerely for bringing Mila and Luc into our lives. They have made our family more complete than we ever could have dreamed and are settling in wonderfully after a year with us.
Six weeks after they arrived with us Mila (Polly was never able to say 'Camille' properly and so the whole family quikly adopted this new nickname) delivered a healthy little boy. Mila and Lucas decided to honour their French heritage by naming their son Louis-Pierre Francois. Little Louis is now almost a year old and is growing up far too quickly for all of our liking! He babbles away happily with Polly in their own bizarre little language, can say Mama, Nana Mill (myself) and Nana Ola (his great-grandmother). So far no progress on Dada or Papa! He learned to walk at just over nine months and we have spent the last few weeks running around the house making sure Louis isn't torturing one of the poor 'woof-woofs'.
Mila has taken to motherhood like a duck to water. I can't remember being half as mature and poised as she when I first brought Phoebe back from the hospital seven years ago. She decided to breastfeed Louis-Pierre for as long as possible and as we are home schooling her she is able to spend lots of the day caring for her son (although in the early days we often helped with night feeds to allow the kids some much deserved sleep!) Despite being kept busy with the baby Mila excels at her schooling. Sometimes we have to nag her to concentrate but once she gets going her passion, drive and enthusiasm for learnigng takes ove.
