The most rewarding part of the work they did at Rose House was rehoming their children with families who would love and care for them the way they needed.

All these records were written up by hand, by Ro, in a series of custom made journals.

Child's Name: Patience

Age: 5 years

Date of Birth: 2nd May 2005

Race: Human, dark-skinned

Height: 3' 2"

Weight: 38.4lbs

Date entered Rose House: 31st December 2009

Progress and Development: Has improved vastly in health and general fitness during the time she has spent here. Exceptionally bright; no difficulties in literacy, numeracy, or general manners. Social skills are top notch; rather a fearless little woman.

Medical history: Arrived at Rose House with fractures in both ankles, as well as deep tissue damage to her abdomen. All healed to the best of ability, though she seems left with a residual limp. She may grow out of it, she may not. The usual array of coughs and colds during the winter months, none serious.

Prospective Parent(s) Name(s): Louis and Jennifer Canava - two boys, Jeremy (8 yrs) and Joseph (6 yrs)

Reason for wanting to adopt: Choosing to adopt a daughter to expand their family; the boys want a little sister.

Address: 118 Circle Street, South Gate

Employed Yes/No: Yes. Louis works as an restorative architect, and Jennifer as a morning receptionist at the Gate Clinic. Jeremy and Joseph are enrolled in a local school.

Marital Status: Married

Race: Human, mixed

Background check: Clean. Jennifer has links to the movement, though is ignorant of Rose House's connection.

Additional comments: Over the course of three months, the Canava family have visited Rose House a total of thirty-seven times, either singly or in groups. They expressed a wish to get to know the children, and let the children make the decision for them. Patience gets on extremely well with Jeremy and Joseph, and observation of them at play suggests that the boys are just as happy with her as she is with them. Jennifer and Louis have participated in the evening routine a total of eight times; Patience appears contented with them. She has named her teddy bear Canava for them. When informed of the request to adopt, she gave every sign of happiness with the decision, though it was tempered with a little sadness at leaving Rose House. She fits in well with the Canava family. As agreed, Patience will continue to attend the school at Rose House for an agreed period of time, during which any concerns or questions from either the Pankhursts or Patience may be addressed.

Child's Name: Oliver

Age: 15 years

Date of Birth: 14th December 1995

Race: Human, Asian

Height: 5' 2"

Weight: 103.lbs

Date entered Rose House: 1st August 2003

Progress and Development: Has improved vastly in health and general fitness during the time he has spent here. Has developed social and networking skills in accordance with predicted success over the seven years he has been with us. Oliver has also taken to assisting in the care of the younger children, two in particular - Alice and David.

Medical history: Arrived at Rose House with minimal bruising and malnutrition - Ed got there in time to prevent the worst from happening. Oliver seems to have an unusual ability to resist common colds and coughs - has never suffered from any of the usual childhood illnesses during his time here.

http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab51/RhyDinLittleTheatre/Rose%20House/Alice.jpg
Child's Name: Alice

Age: 12 years

Date of Birth: 26 November 2008

Race: Half-elven, physical characteristics typical of the Sylvan Elves

Height: 4' 5"

Weight: 134. 5lbs

Date entered Rose House: 17th March 2006

Progress and Development: Came to Rose House fairly advanced with her literacy and numeracy abilities, though incredibly shy of everyone but her brother, David. Thanks to the work of Oliver, Alice has definitely come out of her shell, though she is increasingly attached to Oliver as time goes by. Has improved vastly in health and general fitness during the time she has spent here.

Medical history: Without knowing much of elven or even half-elven anatomy, there is only a little confidence in the statement that Alice arrived with us unharmed physically. As the years have gone by, nothing harmful or untoward has been noticed. Her confidence has certain improved, though only when she is within reach of Oliver, or her brother, David.

Child's Name: David

Age: 7 years

Date of Birth: 2nd February 2003

Race: Half-elven, physical characteristics typical of the Sylvan Elves

Height: 3' 7"

Weight: 110.6lbs

Date entered Rose House: 17th March 2006

Progress and Development: Has improved vastly in health and general fitness during the time she has spent here. Arrived with his sister, Alice, displaying signs of severe mental abuse. Over the years, with the friendship and support of Oliver and Alice, David has slowly come out of his shell, though he remains a skittish young man. General consensus is that the sooner he is settled in a stable environment, the better. Must insist on him being rehomed with his sister.

Medical history: Arrived at Rose House with his sister, Alice, with minimal bruising over the ribcage and back. Timid and easily startled, for several months he would not speak to anyone but Alice, who in turn told Oliver, who would inform us of what was said. Staff cannot take any credit for the turnaround - Oliver's efforts brought David back from the brink. The usual array of coughs and colds during the winter months, none serious.

Prospective Parent(s) Name(s): Entaro and Magda Dan'elea

Reason for wanting to adopt: Unusual case - both former members of the Rail who wish to continue assisting.

Address: Ivy Rose Cottage, Southern Glen

Employed Yes/No: Entaro is a private tutor, Magda is a member of the gubernatorial liaison with less prolific races.

Marital Status: Married

Race: Entaro - Sylvan Elf, Magda - Human

Background check: More than clean. Guaranteed safe house.

Additional comments: Both familiar faces around Rose House - Magda was heavily involved in Oliver's rescue, and Entaro has been equally involved in David and Alice's rehabilation. It was unlikely we would be able to home all three of them together, until the Dan'eleas stated their wish to be further involved in the rehabilitation and protection of our charges after their retirement from the actively dangerous departments of the Rail. Due to their former association with Oliver, Alice, and David, it was a logical step to suggest that they might want to take the three under their wing, as it were. There have been no objections from the children involved, only an insistence on staying together. Once that was assured, they have taken well to the prospect of being away from the constant rearranging of Rose House. A stable environment will work wonders for Alice and David's shy temperaments, as well as being in close proximity to parent figures. Oliver will continue to attend the school here; David and Alice will be tutored by Entaro unless they state a wish to return here. Oliver will keep us informed.
