Tia- 11 years




She is the one who has probably changed the most so far... While in Ukraine she acted very spoiled . She would jump all over Roma our translator or Ben. We would be playing cards and when she was done she wanted everyone else to be done... she would run around the room, put her hands in the fish tank, mess up the cards... a real pain. I did not like her manipulative part of her personality but we saw a spark of hope in her several times... and boy has she changed. She is no longer a demanding child and is patient and very caring. She loves Ava ( our baby grandaughter) and animals. We saw this tender part in her at the orphanage when she would bring us a puppy or once there was a hurt baby bird she tended to. She and Lily are very close. They love to wear similar outfits and hairdos. She is a good student also but more timid learning or speaking the English language. She loves church and even goes to our friends house to play... of course the mom is from Ukraine and speaks Russian which is fine because she is a dear friend of ours.
