Aries Quapoulee (September 14, 2007)
Sweet and caring Aries. Aries (pronounced Ay-Reese) has been a real blessing at Acres of Hope and has done well since day one at the orphanage.
Aries is quiet, but not necessarily shy. She doesn't need to be the center of attention but is comfortable speaking what's on her mind. She has a maturity consistent with a child of about 10 years and socially does very well.

Aries is doing well in school, though technically she is behind. She would probably be at about a first grade level. She cannot read yet. Aries cooperates well in her lessons and takes her education seriously. She learns fast with one-on-one tutoring. Aries is also very creative and enjoy arts and crafts. Outdoors Aries prefers to stand by and watch the activities than to jump in and participate.

Aries is generally very good-natured but sometimes pouts when she asked to do something she doesn't want to do. Besides this she has no significant behavior problems.

Aries is a sweet girl who play swell with other children her age. She is very caring, and protective, and loves to look after younger children. She will do very well with younger siblings.

Aries is a maturing girl who is developing into a young woman. With this has come an increased sense of modesty and a slight shyness towards new people and relationships. It will be good for Aries to have her new mother come alongside her and help her understand the changes she is going through.

Aries is excited to be adopted to America by Igor and Charity Alonso. She loves to look at her photo album and was thrilled to receive the gifts from her parents. Aries wears size 8-10 clothes and size 5 shoes.

Aries will be home with her new parents, along with Darling Boy (Emmanuel), on Monday, October 22, 2007. Thank you all for your continued prayers!
