Hello Friend,
Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know us! We want you to know how much we admire your strength and courage in considering adoption. We wish the very best for you and your baby, whatever you decide. We both have adopted siblings and have seen what a beautiful thing adoption can be. Thank you for considering it.
About us
We have been together for almost 6 years and married for half! We are a fun, happy, loving blended family! We have known from the beginning that we wanted to grow our family and are excited about the opportunity of adopting.
Our family is a bit of a mixing pot! Anderson is from Haiti and moved here in 2008 to attend college. Marcelina has Hispanic heritage and grew up in Arizona. We have 3 amazing kids! They are our world. The oldest is Haitian/African American, he lives with his mom, but we get to spend time with him multiple times a week and enjoy every minute of it! Our youngest 2 are half Samoan and half Hispanic! Having a mix of ethnicities is something we are proud of and enjoy. We celebrate diversity and all cultures. We are blessed to have a great mixture of diversity in our extended family as well.
We like to go all out for fun occasions like birthdays, Christmas, and Halloween! We think that things are as special as you make them, so we really try to put in that extra effort to make these memories special.
We love to take our family on fun trips and adventures and build lasting memories together. One of our favorite family vacations was our trip to Hawaii last fall!
We are close with our extended family. Two of our brothers and sisters live in our same neighborhood! We love doing get togethers with the kids and all of their cousins. They have so much fun together. Family is our #1 priority, so we do our best to stay close and involved.
Our message to you
Life is full of the unexpected, but what we can promise is that we will cherish this child. They will be loved, supported, and protected. Their talents will be nurtured, their individuality respected, and their voices will always be heard. They will feel unconditional love.
As parents, we plan to honor and respect your relationship to your child through open discussions, a life-book, and talking about you and your family. We believe it’s important to discuss adoption with a child from an early age and we’re comfortable with whatever level of openness you’d like to have- from letters and emails to video calls and visits.
Our sincere thanks,
Anderson and Marcelina
