HelpRe: Hurray!
in reply to a message by rainbow_Maya
Dear Rainbow House,
We are happy to update you on the children we adopted. They arrived a little over seven months ago. Our children liked them right away. It helped that Mir was already adopted, so he felt connected to Motya and Yuri. As with Mir, we decided to give Motya a nickname. She chose Tia. Since Luka and I are of Russian heritage, all of our children speak Russian. It made the transition much easier. Tia and Yuri are still learning English, but they make progress every day. When Luka was younger, he played professional hockey. Now he is retired and works as a talent scout. Our boys have grown up playing hockey though and they were all too happy to let Yuri join in the fun.
Alexei, Mir, and Roman haven't changed all that much. They are the same 'Three Musketeers' that they've always been. Of course, they play with Tia and Yuri, but not as much as their younger siblings.
Motya has loved having two younger sisters to play with. At first, Anna was a little perturbed about Tia being older than her, but she soon warmed up to the idea. Kitty adores Tia and plays with her all the time. Tia and Anna are taking dance lessons now and we hope to start Kitty on them next year.
Yuri is adjusting well. He and Evgeni really hit it off. Yuri likes to play with him and make funny faces at him. Yuri plays with the older boys some too. They mostly play hockey, but they also play in the boys' fort and ride the horses on our property. We are considering getting some tests done to see if Yuri is eligible for a hearing aid or a cocheral implant (?). However, he never complains about not being able to hear and it doesn't seem to bother him at all.
We are all doing great and hope to adopt again when the boys are teenagers.
Sincerely,
Luka, Vanya, Alexei, Mir, Roman, Tia, Anna, Kitty, Yuri, and Evgeni.
