Dear Birthmom
Dear Birthmom
Dear Expectant Mother,
We would like to start by thanking you for considering adoption and hopefully considering us. We know it is a very difficult decision. and thank you is not enough.
When we got married, we did not think we would not be able to have children, but we have been trying to have children for years with many treatments without results. Many times we discussed that the best thing was to adopt. Now that we are on this path, we are very excited and looking forward to having a little angel to complete our family.
So thank you again for considering making our dreams come true because you would be giving us one of the best blessings we can ask for, one of the best gifts we can receive. If you choose us, we promise to take care of our future child, give love, and give the best of us. There are no words that can express how excited we are and how grateful we are. We hope you choose us to love and cherish your child.

Our Story
We are Erick and Alba, and we live in Arizona. We are both from El Salvador, and we came to the USA in 2001. We have known each other since we were children, and we got married in 2009. Erick is a very hard worker, he likes technology, and he likes to make others laugh. He works as an IT tech. Alba is very good at taking care of others, and she is good at planning. She works as a medical assistant. We live near Alba's family, and Erick's family lives in California. We like that we have the experience of having two cultures and two languages, English and Spanish. We would like to give the same experience to our future child.
Our Extended Family
We live about ten minutes from Alba’s parents and about 15 minutes from her younger sister’s house. Erick’s family lives in California, and we both have family in El Salvador.
Erick’s mother, two older brothers, one younger sister, and eight nephews and nieces live in California. We see them several times during the year. We go or they come to visit us. His dad, two younger sisters, and a nephew live in El Salvador. Alba’s parents, sister, and brother-in-law live in the same city in Arizona. Her brother, sister-in-law, and nephew live in Arizona as well, about three hours away.
We generally divide our time on the holidays. We usually spend Thanksgiving with Erick’s family in California and Christmas with Alba’s family. Something we like to do almost every Sunday is, after church, get together with Alba’s family to have brunch. When we visit Erick’s family, we like to see movies, play with the kids, and go out to eat.

Our Home
Our home has three bedrooms. It is an open concept, and the patio is big enough for our future child to play on. In front of the house, we have plants and a space where we can put an RV. Our neighborhood is quiet. Usually children play around the neighborhood in the afternoons. We have adopted two dogs; Toffee is a yorkiepoo, and Mac is a maltipoo.
Our Journey to Adoption
We tried for several years to have biological children, but we did not succeed. This has led us to adoption. We have known for a long time that we want to have children. We had the opportunity to buy a house and prepare ourselves for when the children come. We have enjoyed our lives just being the two of us, but we know it is time to grow our family. We are ready to give love to our future child.
