Dear Birth Parent(s),

First of all we want to thank you for making the best decision, the decision of life which is not the easier one and with that you have already captured our hearts and our admiration. We know that adoption decision is very difficult too but we know already that you only want what is best for your child and we know also that you are incredible mature and full of courage.

Our names are Armando and Raquel; we met through Armando's youngest brother as Raquel was a good friend from college. We just can think about God's plan when we met and married after almost two years of dating and enjoying each other's way of seeing and facing life. We truly love, respect and admire each other even more after our twelve years of marriage and after all the good and tough situations we have faced during this blessed time as for example not being able to have a biological child after many attempts and treatments from the beginning of our journey together. We know also that as a continuation of God's plan for us, adoption is His whole-hearted expected response to our prayers and we are so happy and overwhelmed with joy!

Our priority in life is to be parents and lead by example. We can assure you that your child is going to be greatly loved, safe, wanted and expected for us and even when he/she is not growing in Raquel's womb will grow in our hearts from the very beginning. We want to give your child the kind of love that comes only from God which is unconditional and not self-seeking, which protects, trusts, hopes and perseveres through out all our life. We also have been preparing for him/her through out these years, the financial, emotional and spiritual support which will enable him/her to be who he/she truly is and to find happiness in what he/she does in life combining his/her best capacities with moral and solid catholic values in order to make his/her own decisions.

Due to work reasons, we have lived in four different countries and we speak three languages. This has broadened our life perspective and made us more tolerable and value more of the human being relations and different ways of living. We continue to travel a lot learning different cultures but at the same time we are proud of our cultural heritage and family values which are based in a very deep love and understanding through well funded faith values. We believe in a good and continued education and hard work through out our different life stages. This has made us succeed in our careers and through our family, work and friendship relations, we also believe that the human being is good in nature and day by day our different life experiences complete our journey. We think and pursue love as our lifestyle and we are hopping your child can be part of our life to complete our hearts and share with him/her these incredible experiences by enjoying different cultures and food and fun sports and musical activities which will enlarge his/her spirit.

We want you to know that we want to be very open and honest to your child about adoption and we will always speak about you with him/her in the most grateful and positive way describing him/her the great courage and love you showed by taking this difficult and painful decision guided by what you felt was the best for him/her. We would not thank you enough for your good intentions and we will show our thanks and love by sending you letters and pictures, if this is what you desire, as your child grows and develops, so you can be constantly reassured of your decision.

If you choose us you will be making us the happiest parents and persons in the entire world as this is our most precious dream for which we pray every day and long for with all our love filled hearts and souls.

May God bless you.

Armando & Raquel
