Dear A Child Waits Foundation:

I am writing to thank you for your help with our adoption. Your kindness is a gift that will continue to give for a long time.

We have been home with Stefan and Stefani for just over 4 weeks now and the children are adjusting very well. Both of the children are healthy and happy, they are both growing rapidly. Both children are very small for their age of 3 ½ however they are gaining an average of about a pound a week since they became a part of our family. Their developmental delays are not what we feared they could be, but there are some. We were very happy to find out that their fine motor skills are well developed despite the problems with their hands. Stefani is very social and outgoing, she is learning English quickly and her vocabulary grows daily. Her English vocabulary is already up to about 50 words. Stefan is a quiet one, yet he understands a lot of what is said and communicates in his own way. His verbal communication increases daily but I think he will always be a strong silent type.

Again we would like to thank you for the assistance in their adoption. We are very blessed to have Stefan and Stefani as a part of our family.

Sincerely
Windy Petersen
