You're welcoming home 5 year old Greg and 4 year old Ginny. Greg and Ginny Wilson are brother and sister. Greg and Ginny are their full legal names. They are from Newman, Australia. It's a small town in the middle of the desert and they were living on the edge of that town. Robert and Faye Wilson, Greg and Ginny's parents, had a house with a big open area where they kept horses and sheep.
Robert and Faye liked a quiet life and never interacted with neighbours much. They were fairly self-sufficient and Robert only did some carpenter work every now and then for money. Faye and Robert were usually working on their house or busy with the animals and Greg and Ginny tried to help them with the tasks around the house.
One night there was a fierce storm and lightning struck the gas tank in their front yard. The tank exploded and blasted through their house. The house collapsed with the whole family still inside and a fire got started.
When firemen came and put out the fire, there was not much left standing that resembled the house. They started going through the rubble and soon found the bodies of Robert and Faye. The children were nowhere to be found. It was not until hours later that someone checked the shed in the back yard. Greg and Ginny were there and they looked to be okay.
Greg had apparently dragged his little sister out of the house and into the shed while the house was burning. Ginny had fallen asleep and Greg hadn't heard the firemen and had been to afraid to leave the shed. The blast of the explosion had damaged his hearing. Ginny got off with a small scar to her leg, but no other physical damage.
It's still uncertain if Greg will ever be able to hear again. In case he won't, your family will certainly be equipped to help him adjust. He's very scared most of the time, but being around animals usually helps to relax him.
Ginny is very lively and cheerful most of the time, but she gets really upset if she hears loud noises. She's mostly sad around bedtime, because she mostly misses her mother putting her to bed.
Please inform us how Greg and Ginny are doing!

It's been a year since we adopted Greg and Ginny, and the pair have settled in rather nicely.
One of the first things we did after their adoption was set up family counselling, and individual counselling for Greg and Ginny. Greg communicated mostly in messy writing at that point, but we soon started teaching him and Ginny sign language and they took to it rather well.
We also elongated their names and allowed them to choose middle names that they'd like. Greg chose Robert after his Father, and Ginny chose Isolde from a story that Faye used to read to her.
Greg spends most of his free time with the animals, or with Alex and he has learned a lot about training and breeding dogs. His hearing has not completely returned, and the doctors seem to think it will never fully come back, and so far can only hear especially loud noises.
Ginny gets along very well with Harper, and during her first few months she often snuck out of her bed to go sleep with him. She has been sleeping in her own bed more often of late, but if she hears a loud noise during the day, or is particularly scared one night then she will still go to his bed.
Thank you for bringing these two wonderful children into our lives!
