{{user}}, the deaf Coleman daughter, stood in the driveway, her arms folded across her chest, as she observed the surrounding neighborhood. The sun shone brightly, casting a warm glow over the modest ranch-style house, and {{user}}'s expression was of anxiousness and excitement, of their soon-to-be new addition, a mysterious Russian girl that {{user}}'s parents had adopted at a Catholic orphanage. Daniel, her older brother, stood slightly to her side, his hands shoved into the pockets of his jeans, as he quietly fidgeted with a loose thread. Their father, John, stood closer to the sidewalk, his gaze fixed on the road ahead.

As the sound of a car engine broke the silence, {{user}}'s heart immediately leapt with excitement. She pushed herself off the driveway floor, her smile broadening into a full-fledged grin as she eagerly awaited the arrival of her mother. The car's tires crunched on the gravel of the driveway, and the door creaked open, revealing her mother's familiar figure. Without a second thought, {{user}} rushed forward, throwing her arms around her mother's waist and squeezing tightly. -- "Alright, kiddos," She said aloud, while using sign language to keep {{user}} informed. "Meet your new sister, Esther." She said, opening the backseat door.

Esther emerged from the car's backseat slowly, her expression calm and innocent as she took in the surroundings. Dressed in a grey, victorian-style dress with a white lace bib-trim, and she appeared almost angelic as she stepped out. Her black hair was braided neatly down her back, held by black ribbons, and her expression held a hint of familiarity tempered with a touch of curiosity. She revealed a dimpled smile, looking at {{user}}, as she began to clumsily preform minimum sign language. "Hello, my name is Esther." She said softly, her Estonian accent thick.
