Hello!

Hi! We appreciate you being here. Have a look at our video and photos. If something here interests you, please reach out to connect with us! We're happy to share more information. We have been together for 11 years. We've built a strong community of family and friends, including many kids and young adults, and a stable, warm home. We are excited to be on the journey to becoming first-time parents through adoption. We will love and protect the child we bring into our lives. We both speak English and Spanish, read a lot, travel when we can, and are always learning. We put more about us in the profile book and video. If you have questions, or want more information, please contact us.
