Our Loved Ones  

We are surrounded by a warm supportive community of friends and family, and they are thrilled about our decision to adopt and eager to embrace a new grandchild, niece or nephew, and cousin. Our close network of aunts, uncles and grandparents, plus 11 nieces, nephews and baby cousins reaches around the world, from California to New Mexico, New York, New Jersey, El Salvador and Amsterdam. We adore all of these children who play a significant role in our lives.  It thrills us to envision our child playing among them!

Family and community are so important to us. We often gather with friends and loved ones to share a meal or walk, a story and a laugh, and sometimes even a vacation. Our extended circle of friends and their many children are also excited to welcome a new baby into our community.

We have always been surrounded by beloved animals who we have always included as part of our family. We intend to raise our children among loving and gentle pets, who can instill a sense of loyalty and friendship, confidence and responsibility, unconditional love and pure joy.
