Help[Games] Hurray!
in reply to a message by Mar
Congratulations Marjo and Alex!
we are proud to inform you that we have found five children that would love to be part of your family!
They are the sisters Lena Magnhild (11 year old) and Klara Andrea (1 years old) from Norway.
Lena has been living in a childrens home since she was 4 years old until her mother decided she was capable of bringing her up when she was 9. Social workers were very supersticious as she hadn't been in contact with her daughter at all. But under supervision Christin, the mother, was aloud to take her home. She gave birth to Klara only 5 months after having Lena back home and shortly afterwards commited suicide. Lena was clever enough to take her babysister and return to the childrens home when she found her mother. She has been seeing a therapist ever since, but is still traumatized. Lena will need a stable background, somewhere she knows she can relay on. She loves her sister to bits and is very mature for her age. But if someone hurts or takes something of Klare, she will be VERY defensive! Her school work is lacking a bit, as she is more interessted in caring for her sister, but if she knows Klara is save, she might be able to be a child again.
Klara is a very healthy one year old, probably due to the fact that Lena cared for her when she was a baby.
Bartel Ruud and Stefan Laurens (5 years old) are twins from Amsterdam. They are identical but easy to distinguish. Bartel is a very active child and Stefan is the "sensible" one. Which doesn't mean he won't get in trouble! They were brought to the orphanage a year ago by their mother who said she can't cope with them. She is an ex-prostitute and doesn't want her sons to grow up knowing this. But after trying to live a "normal" life for four years, money has run out and she wants to go back on the streets. She hopes her sons will be part of a dutch family and maybe even allow her to visit sometimes as a "friend of the family". Bartel and Stefan are waiting to move in with a family with children and start school next year.
Victorine Zoé (3 years old) is a little girl from France. Not much is know about her. She was found under a park bench and estimated to be 2 days old. The hospital staff gave her her name meaning "victorious life". She is a real fighter! After having to spend the first 6 months in hospital she was brought into a childrens home. She gets along very well with the other children. It would be best for her to be in a large family where she is never alone, because she seems to have a problem with that. She always needs someone around her.
We hope that you get along well with them, we would love to hear how it went.
Yours,
Rainbow House

Our family now, one year after the adoption:
DH: Alex Raiden
DW: Marjo Lynn
DS/DS: Maddox James / Lennox Cole (15)
DD: Lena Magnhild (12)
DD: Alexandra Lynn "Lexi" (7)
DS/DS: Bartel Ruud / Stefan Laurens (6)
DD: Victorine Zoé (4)
DD: Klara Andrea (2)
Maddox and Lennox love to play with the boy-twins. They play a lot of football (soccer). Maddox, who usually goes by Max these days, sort of 'adopted' Bart and Lennox did the same with Stef. It's great to watch them play together.
Lena is still very much a mother to Klara or "Rara" as Victorine calls her. She's also became this way with Vicotine. She gets along with Lexi pretty well, adn we are very happy about that. Both Alex and me help her a lot with school work, because she has trouble focussing in school. Her grades are far better than when she started her new school though, the language problems made her isolate herself for the first few months.
Lexi has never been happier, she says she's very pleased to have sisters.
Bart and Stef are doing ok. At some point we spoke with their mother on the phone and she said she wanted to see how they were doing. We scheduled a time for her to come over, but she never showed up and we haven't heard from her since. Accoring to the police she's missing and they have no idea what happened. We're glad that Bart and Stef never knew all of this had happened. We will tell them some day, just not now.
