Bella loves to remind everyone that she was the OGB – Original Bear. When Bella was first adopted right after Christmas, she fit right in with her monkey siblings, especially Zippy. Zippy, a world traveler, wanted to show Bella how fun of a family she had joined. He made sure to include her in all the fun and adventures, opening her eyes to the world around her.

When Allie and Zoey joined the family, she took them under wing as Zippy had done for her and this helped develop her into the nurturer she is today.

When Bella isn’t attending school, pretending to play doctor, or helping with dinner, you’ll often find her enjoying her solo-time or cuddled up, reading a book to her sisters. 

Allie is the middle child between the three sisters. She joined the family shortly after Bella was adopted, and has been very loving and accepting of all new additions. She quickly took Zoey under her wing, and they have been inseparable ever since.

Allie often finds herself putting others first, and she’s learning that self-love is just as important as loving those around her. Allie is a lover of all animals, but her favorite is her stuffed Owl, Pinkie. She carries him everywhere she goes. Allie also claims to be a fish-whisperer, especially to her pet Goldfish, Two-Tone.

If you’re in need of a good pep-talk or smile, Allie will be there to lift your spirits. And if you’re in need of some quick wit, Allie will throw in those zingers to keep you on your toes.

Fearless in spirit, Allie has many aspirations and absolutely loves to adventure – whether it’s a relaxing family trip at the beach, or driving cross country, or horseback riding – she’ll be there with a huge smile on her face ready to take on the world. 

Zoey is the youngest of the three sisters. While shy at first, she’ll talk your ear off once she gets to know you. Zoey is always in a playful mood and loves to be the center of attention, especially with her siblings and cousins.

Zoey travelled far to join the family, coming all the way from New York. Fortunately, she didn’t have to travel alone, as her older brother Eddie joined her for her first flight across the country. Once she overcame her fear of loss and abandonment from losing her first family, she opened up and fit right in.

While Zoey absolutely loves to learn and go to school, she also loves to help around the house with chores and save up her allowance for new toys and new dresses – and those dresses better be pink. Zoey has big dreams to help other kids to feel the love and acceptance that she felt in joining the family, and share her experiences.
