Dear Birthmother,
Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We have been married for ten years and have already been gifted with so many opportunities: visiting new places, meeting amazing people around the world, and experiencing different cultures. We are blessed in many ways, and we would love to share our lives with our children. Adoption was always a dream. Our plan was to first try to get pregnant and later adopt. After doing two IVF rounds with no success, we decided it was time to proceed with adoption. And here we are, very excited and anxious to meet the new member(s) of our family.
Our parents, siblings, and friends are all ecstatically waiting for this match. We’re all ready to become parents, grandparents, uncles, and aunties of the bundle of joy. Our families are very close and cannot wait to welcome a child.
We would like to thank you for being brave in making the decision to place your child for adoption, and we assure you their happiness will always be our main priority and reason to live.
Our Home
After years living in Indiana, in 2023 we moved to Illinois. With this move, we were able to choose the city we wanted to live in and raise our new family. Because of that, we started checking locations with the best schools near our work. We were able to find a lot of land on a cul-de-sac, on the top of a hill, where we built a house big enough to fit the big family we have always dreamed about. We love to live where we can enjoy the outdoors and can easily walk to parks, go skiing and snowboarding during the winter, and go boating and sailing in the summer. We also love getting together with our friends and having barbecue or just staying home and enjoying some quality time with our pets, Bart and Pipi.
Our Extended Family
We have a lot of traditions, both American and Brazilian. Living in a country far away from family provides us with the opportunity to celebrate every time we get together. When we arrive in Brazil, we have big lunches and dinners with family just to enjoy being together and celebrate all the missed holidays and milestones we couldn’t be present for.
Every Sunday in our home here in the U.S., we have a big cookout with barbeque and some Brazilian dishes. Everybody in our family/friends group participates and brings a dish to share. For the American traditions, we have incorporated Thanksgiving, a holiday not celebrated in Brazil. Because of this, we are able to spend every year with friends, being grateful for everybody’s accomplishments and the opportunities we have.
