a word from some of our Family and friends
"We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to consider adding us to your family. Being a birth mother is one of the hardest and loving things you could do, but I hope it will ease your mind to know your baby will be raised by two loving, fun, and selfless parents. We love Tod and Armando both so much. They are amazing people and will be outstanding fathers. We can assure you that both you are your baby will be loved, protected, and cherished daily. As your adoptive family, we value you and your choices." -Armando's Cousin
"We have watched Tod and Armando's relationship grow and witnessed how much they love each other. They exemplify the type of people you hope every child could have as parents, and we would trust them to raise our own adopted daughter. Tod and Armando demonstrate the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle, reading, laughing, learning, and spending quality time with their friends and family. A child in their family will lead a balanced, engaging, fun, and incredibly loving life. Tod and Armando will approach parenting like they do every other aspect of their lives - with passion, dedication, a sense of humor, and most importantly an open mind. We cannot wait for them to become parents!" -Close Friends and Adoptive Parents
"I feel very strongly that both Tod and Armando will be excellent parents. They are extremely responsible, but will also bring a tremendous amount of joy to a child's life. I have seen the joy that both Tod and Armando have for the children that are in their lives through family and friends, and know they will both be equally committed to being excellent parents. Both Tod and Armando are the type of people that excel in all they do. I imagine they will go above and beyond to educate themselves on parenting skills, as well as the unique nature of raising an adoptive child." -Close Friend who works in international adoptions
"We find Tod and Armando's relationship to be strong. Love has always been the foundation, but what makes their relationship strong is constant communication, honesty, and a listening ear. They balance each other and are also very supportive of each other. Not only are they prepared for the challenges of parenthood, but are also looking forward to the abundance of love and joy a child will bring to their lives." -Close Friends and parents of two small children
