Leidy, Jennifer, Alex and Diego
This extraordinarily close group of siblings has not only taken care of one another since early childhood, they steadfastly keep in touch with former companions who have already been adopted. Their family solidarity and affection for one another, and their continuing interest in the lives of their friends who have left, are inspiring. Despite the obstacles posed by their status as a four-sibling group of older children, they have always expressed their dream to find a family in America.
Leidy (age 17) is an intelligent, joyful young lady who excels in school and has a goal of attending college. A devoted big sister, Leidy never shows a trace of bitterness despite the challenges of abandonment and life in an institution.
Jennifer (age 15) is an outgoing, tender girl who is devoted to her brothers and the younger children in the orphanage. She is an outstanding dancer, like her brother Alex, and seems to be everybody’s best friend. Jennifer wants to study design when she finishes high school.
Alex (age 14) is polite, calm and noble with a wonderful sense of humor. He has a wide variety of interests, including painting, cooking, sports and dancing. At dancing events, adults stand back and watch Alex’s moves with delight and a touch of envy.
Diego (age 12) is exuberant and playful. He is a skater and devoted “futbolista” who lives for sports. Like his siblings, Diego is also a budding dancer. When Diego first saw the ocean, he ran into the water fully clothed, dancing in circles until he fell down!
