Congratulations! You have adopted Aleksander and Valentin Antonov, brothers from Russia. Both speak fluent English. Aleksander is 15. He is quite introverted but very clever in STEM subjects, especially biochemistry. He wants to be a doctor when he grows up. His brother Valentin, who is 13, is the complete opposite. He’s very extroverted and creative, his favourite pastime being playing the guitar. He is paralysed from the waist down after a car accident, so is confined to a wheelchair, but that doesn’t stop him from anything! Please keep me updated on their progress!

Hello! Aleksander and Valentin are a wonderful addition to our family! We have all been learning biochemistry together, even though Valentin hates it. We all have so much fun. And, you are correct! Valentin is confined to a wheelchair, but certainly doesn't disable him!

Congratulations, you have adopted three children! The first child you have adopted is Elisa Bates, a 9 year old girl from England who speaks English and Spanish. She loves music, and can play the violin and flute. She has asthma, but is very good at using her inhaler if necessary. She is a Catholic. You have also adopted Andrew and Bertram Massey, brothers from England. Andy is 11 years old and loves to cook. He is also a very good swimmer, so would love to pursue this sport further. He can be moody at times, but this will probably pass once he settles in to his new home. His little brother Bertie is three years old, and is showing early signs of ADHD, so needs to be kept occupied. He enjoys playing hide-and-seek and ball games. The brothers are both Protestant Christians.
Please keep me updated on their progress!

Congratulations! You have adopted Davis Galloway, a three year old boy from Scotland. He is a sweet kid with a great sense of humour, though he is quite clingy after the loss of his parents. He loves animals, especially dogs, so should get on with your three, as well as your daughter Hazel. He enjoys cooking but has a dairy allergy, so you’ll need to be careful. He currently doesn’t follow any religion, being so young.
Please keep me updated on your progress!

Thank you! Davis is a great kid, and very funny! No kidding about the humor. Jared has been pining for a little brother since Seth and Luke are off to college next year. They've been writing a comic series ever since they were nine, and were published at sixteen. David is the newest character, of course, and Seth calls his jokes "comedy gold, especially for a tike." Hannah and Hazel are tighter than tight, but Hazel says Davis is her favorite brother. He's very clingy still, but when everyone's at school he amuses himself with the dogs. I've started filming more (I took a long break from Hannah's to Jared's birth), and Davis has been in one of my shows! He's a new minor character, by necessity, but he loved the spotlight. I'm thinking he'll be a great actor when he grows up.My brother, an actor as well, is loving it. Davis might like him more than he likes me, in fact.His dairy allergy has been fine. We've all gone dairy free (except for Theo the oldest two) because it's easier that way. I'm excited to have a child who's interested in cooking, as none of mine are. They would rather play basketball or dance, but they sure eat a lot!Davis loves the dogs, especially Hugo. He doesn't see Freedom that often because she's Theo's, and he's actually kind of scared of her. He calls him "a dog made for him." Hazel finds his infatuation a little annoying, since Hugo is technically hers (her "first birthday as a Hancock" present). Linus will soon not be around any more, because he's Seth's and Luke's, but we're thinking of getting another dog. A German Shepherd, like our old dog Ripper (the first dog we had along with kids (Seth and Luke)).To put it shortly, Davis is great, and we love him!

Congratulations! You have adopted Albina and Lio Caito, siblings from Italy. Both are Catholics who speak Italian and English. Albina is twelve years old. She is a budding writer, and a bookworm who will devour any book she can get her hands on! She has a nut allergy, so you’ll need to be careful with food. Lio is a quiet eight year old who loves animals and is more comfortable with them than most people, so will make fast friends with your dog Lola!
Please keep me updated with their progress.

Thank you! Despite requesting younger children beforehand, Albina and Lio fit right in to our family and we wouldn't want to swap them for anything. Lucas enjoys taking them to church with him on Sundays and Clara loves reading and discussing books with Albina. Lio and Paloma have become very close and enjoy playing together, especially with Lola - who, as you predicted, gets on brilliantly with Lio. Lio has started Paloma's school in the grade above her - grade 3 - and Albina just started secondary school in grade 7. They seem to be settling in well, although Lio hasn't made many friends in his grade yet and is spending recess with Paloma and her friends. We are very pleased with this addition to our family; thank you again for matching us.

Congratulations! You have adopted GabrielleGabby” and MarigoldGoldiePace, siblings from England. Gabby is five years old and loves football, and is excited to learn basketball from you. She also enjoys cooking, which she is looking forward to doing with her new family, although you’ll have to take special care as she is lactose intolerant. Her vivid imagination gives her interesting dreams; she sometimes sleeptalks. Goldie is nine months old, and, although she is young, she is developing a strong personality - she is always happy and enthusiastic. She loves being read bedtime stories. Please keep me updated on their progress!

Thank you! Gabby and Goldie are the perfect additions to our family! Gabby enjoys playing sports with us including football, and basketball (she learned how to play and loved!!!). Agathe and Gabby get along perfectly! They enjoy playing together, and Gabby had made friends extremely easily. She also enjoys cooking with Claudine! We are sure to be careful with her lactose intolerance. Goldie is the cutest! We love having a baby around the house. She listens very well and never stops smiling. Hudson makes sure to read her a bedtime story every day, and she falls asleep immediately! Thanks again!

Thank you so much for matching us with Christine! She's so sweet and fits in well at home. River's taken an immense liking to her, and they've been playing soccer together thrice a week. Christine insists he play her a song on the guitar to help her sleep. She's taken to walking in the garden with me, and we've been picking herbs that are in-season and planting new flowers. We've planned our first camping trip this weekend, and we'll be taking Aisha, who Christine loves. Thank you again for bringing the perfect addition to our family!
