Meet our Future Attorney - R

Becky's sister, Dana here! My family is currently hosting two boys, R and S, from the Ukraine. The boys came over with the same group that brought over Becky's boys last summer, and like Becky's boys these boys are looking for their family.

Let me introduce you to R. R and S are from different orphanages and didn't know each other when they got here. R speaks English - well. He taught himself after visiting the US several years ago. Because R has the advantage of speaking English he is able to translate for S. R takes this responsibility seriously and has gone out of his way to make sure that S understands everything that is going on.

R is 15 and is big for his age (though not as big as my 15 year old). He is great shape and seems to be a natural athlete. He is motivated, as evidenced by his ability to teach himself English. He has big plans for the future - he wants to go to college and law school and he is willing to do the hard work to get there.

In addition to being a great translator for S, R has been amazing with our younger kids. I expected he would get along well with our 17 and 15 year old and he does, but he is also darling with our 11 year old daughter and 9 year old son. He is especially cute with our son. He plays with him, encourages him and even prods him to make better decisions and listen to his parents.

R would be an amazing addition to any family, though I would love to see him in a family with some little kids. I am certain he is a success story just waiting to happen.

If you are interested in meeting R you can attend any of the events the kids will be at over the next three weeks to meet him. You can also host him in your home. The family that adopts this boy will be a very lucky family! Contact Rob Jolley at 801-259-7034 for more information on any of the kids.
