Congrats Sullivan family! You have been blessed with...
Ziva Liat, Ariel Kreine, and Hadas Tovah who are three best friends from Isreal. Ziva's parents died in a car crash a couple of years ago, Ariel's family took her in. When Ariel's parent's died in a bombing accident a year later they decided to try living on their own. They met up with Hadas a couple months later who had run away from a crowded home. Ziva is now nine, Ariel is twelve and Hadas is ten and a half. All three girls feel like sisters.
*NOTE* Names can be changed
**NOTE AGAIN** Please let us know how they are doing!
***AND AGAIN*** After your update, feel free to apply for more children!

One Year Later
Dear Adoption Agency:
thank you so much for blessing us with such little angels! We have given Ziva and Hadas new first names: Sarah and Esther, respectively. But we've kept their birthnames as their middle names. It is a tradition in our family to keep two middle names anyway.
The first couple of months really put what little hebrew I know to the test! My husband is of Jewish descent, and we both speak a little bit, but it was definitely a challenge to communicate! The girls had each other though, I could tell it made the transition a little bit smoother.
One huge challenge was helping Alden (our oldest) get over the 'disappointment' that he was no longer the oldest. In fact all three girls are older than he is. He has grown to look up to them though. I know it was hard for he and Lael (our youngest), to accept 3 more sisters--boys have a hard time with that for some reason. But they all have grown very close. Especially Lana -- she loves having sisters.
We have been travelling a lot-- I am a UN consort, so we travel a lot between home in Mali and Israel or Europe. This last year we've made many trips to Israel & The girls have shown us their hometowns and we even met Esther's (Hadas') parents. I couldn't really understand them, but Esther told me later, through tears, that her parents were grateful we could give her a healthy happy home where they couldn't. It's hard for her to know her birth family still lives and she's not living with them.
We have grown a lot in this past year as a family. It has definitely been a challenge, but not an impossible one. We thank God every day for the blessings these girls have brought to us. Thank you, Adoption Agency! Perhaps we will return to ask your services again some time.
Sincerely--
Ayvin Sullivan
