Michelle, Born April , 1995 Megan, Born April, 1996  Casey, Born July, 1998  Michael, Born October, 1999 Courtney, Born July, 2002 Deanna, Born July, 2003    Matthew, Born December, 2006

All seven of these children are sweet and smart, and each have different strengths and interests. Michelle is the oldest, followed Megan, Casey, Michael and then Courtney, who is followed by Deanna and Matthew.

Creative Michelle is passionate about drawing and art, and she loves listening to music by Michael Jackson, Madonna and Sugarland. However, art and music aren’t the only passions of this quiet and responsible teenager  - her other loves, video games and shopping, are typical of most teens her age.

In contrast to older sister Michelle, Megan’s first love is for sports. Soccer, basketball, baseball … it doesn’t matter as long as it involves teammates and an energetic spirit! It’s not all sports for this teen, Megan’s outlet for creativity is writing – something she excels at and enjoys doing. This quiet young lady is also wild about reading.

Casey’s claim to fame is her ability with computers; she likes to play video games like bowling and tennis, as well as learn about their inner workings in Computer class at school. This energetic gradeschooler is also into soccer and riding her bike, and she also likes to help her foster mom prepare meals for the family.

Next comes Michael. He has dreams of becoming a doctor someday and is diligent about doing his homework each afternoon after schools. After finishing his assignments, he likes to reward himself with a bike ride or a game of football or baseball. Michael is a genuinely nice gradeschooler who loves spending time with his friends and his siblings.

Courtney’s strengths lie in both art and math – she’s equally comfortable solving complicated problems or drawing complicated pictures. Her passion for learning translates into a desire to someday be a teacher, something that her pleasant and respectful personality is well-suited for.

Deanna loves the atmosphere of outdoor festivals and amusement parks – her two favorite places are the county fair and Kings Island. Someday she’d like to visit the best amusement park of all: Walt Disney World. For now, however, she’s happy playing Candyland or video games like bowling and tennis.

Perhaps this pleasant and energetic toddler has a future career as a race car driver … Matthew is constantly on his Big Wheel or playing with his toy trucks and cars! Matthew is a great kid who loves to play ball, especially if it involves throwing and fetching with his favorite animal – a dog.

These seven children are great kids who all have potential in their different areas. They have respect for grown ups and each other, and truly enjoy one another’s company. Michelle, Megan, Casey, Michael, Courtney, Deanna and Matthew have bright futures ahead, with the guidance and love of a special adoptive family.
