[Games] Hurray!
in reply to a message by Rose
Congratulations Michelle and William!
We are proud to inform you that we have found four children that would love to be part of your family!
They are Vivien Lucille (5 years old), Didier Marc (4 years old), Nadia Monique (3 years old) and Manon Victorine (1 year old) from France.
They are not "real" siblings but cousins that grew up with their grandmother. Vivien and Nadia are halfsisters, Manon is Didier's halfsister but all hardly knew their mother.
Social service noticed the bad conditions the children where living in, as their grandmother is already in her 80s and couldn' look after them anymore. Manon seems to be a bit behind in her development, but we hope that with the right care, she will soon catch up. Nadia has a very bad speech, but maybe coming into a new country and different language will let her lose it. Vivien and Didier are very mature and Vivien can already read! Didier loves to draw and sing, and it would be great for all the children if you had a lot of outdoor for them to play, as they come from a small village in the countryside.
We hope that you get along well with them, we would love to hear how it went.
Yours,
Rainbow House

William and I are so happy, Vivien, Marc, Dia and Marie are little angels. As I can speak French (so can my husband as he spent two years there due to his job, that was when we met) it made the transition for them easier. All four only grow up speaking French as that was all their grandmother would speak.
Though James, Derek and Naomi never learned French they learned quite a bit of it after Vivien, Marc, Dia and Marie came. I was shocked at how mature Vivien was, but apperently she had to look out for her siblings most of the time, or they wouldn't have even had anythign to eat. My first mission was to make sure Vivien knew she didn't have to be so mature. She was just a kid but she didn't laugh or play like most kids did. Naomi was extremely helpful in that regard, she was so used to only having boys around that Vivien didn't have a chance. As soon as Naomi say a way to have a tea party and dress up games without only using stuffed animals she turned her huge stubborn streak (Inherited from her father I'm sure ^_^) to getting Vivien to play with her.
