About Diego (by Daniel):

Diego is the best person that I know. I am so thankful that we found each other out of all the different people that live on this planet. He is silly, responsible, creative, and loving. He always encourages me to do my best in life and always gets me out of the house to do fun activities.
My husband was the best foster parent any kid could ever ask for, and from that experience, I know that he will be an amazing dad. He would read constantly to our foster son and make sure that he was on a proper schedule. Diego always made it a point to speak to the baby in Spanish, so that he would recognize both languages. He was never afraid to change diapers, even when he got splattered one day. He always went above and beyond for that child, and I know he will do even more for our own children.

About Daniel (by Diego):

Daniel is the funniest man on earth. There is not a day when he doesn't make me laugh. He always supports me in every decision, and since I met him, he feels like home. I cannot imagine having kids with anyone else but him. He represents the world: family, respect, love, and peace.
His hobbies are so enjoyable, like gardening. I love to sit next to him while he is taking care of his Bonsai. My kids are going to have a funny and loving father who is also protective and supportive. From day one, Daniel has been the most devoted family man, making it clear that building a life and growing together as a family is his greatest priority.

For Individuals:

Our family is one of the most loving and caring on the planet. For my family (Daniel's side), I am surrounded by many women. My mother goes above and beyond for anyone that she loves. She has been waiting to be a grandmother for so many years, and it is so exciting and ready to help out. My father is a great man who has always wanted us to have kids. He is the one that will spoil our children. Lastly, my grandmother is a major part of our lives. She is beyond excited for us to start our family and for her, becoming a great grandparent is everything. Both of my parents are funny and love to be silly just like Diego and me. My grandmother's personality is a bit on the stricter side, but we cannot blame her as she is a retired middle school teacher. So, she takes education and manners very seriously. I also have adopted cousins who live in Washington state, so I know that my family will love my kids just as much as they love my cousins.

For my family (Diego's side), I am lucky to have my sister living close to me who were a doula and a nanny for many years. She always tells me and prepares me with the best tips for when I am going to have a baby. My family in Peru, parents and relatives, are excited to fly to California to spend time with the new baby of the family. Especially my parents cannot stop dreaming about their one grandchild.
Also, we have one dog, and her name is Dory. We named her after Dory from Finding Nemo since it is one of our favorite movies. Dory is one of the sweetest and most loving dogs that we have ever owned.

Career/Occupation:

Daniel is a teacher: Being a 5th-grade teacher is a joyful and rewarding experience, filled with moments of growth and discovery. At this stage, students are developing independence and critical thinking, making the classroom lively and engaging. We want to enroll our child in the school where I teach to better align with his schedule and provide a more convenient and supportive learning environment.
Diego is HR Coordinator: Being an HR Coordinator is a rewarding role. From recruiting and onboarding to improving processes and employee relations, every task helps create a thriving environment. Working from home half of the time will provide greater flexibility in my schedule while also allowing me to be more present in raising my child.

Home / Community:

Our home is located in a safe and quiet neighborhood in Los Angeles, California. The community that we live in is just minutes away from the beach and is located on a hill, therefore we get to see the ocean daily from our house. Since we live in a gated community, it is usually quiet and peaceful. There are many families with young children that live within our community. Our community also features 3 large pools, two Jacuzzis, and two gyms. All the pools are gated, making it safe for young children. All the neighborhood kids love playing in the pool together throughout the year. The pools are our favorite part of living in this community. We also have a recreation room that kids can play in that has ping pong tables and games for kids.

Our favorite part of our house would have to be the living room. This is our common space since we spend most of our time there. We have a great view of the pool. We plan on making a corner of the living room a kid’s play area. We have a beautiful garden in front of the home that we take care of daily. We plan on gardening with our children so that they can enjoy the hobby with us. We also have a small patio that we use every week. We enjoy sitting outside with the fire pit and also having a barbecue that we use for family events, mainly on the Fourth of July.

There are several hiking trails near our house that we love to visit. Many of which are right next to our homemaking it easy for our family to go out during the weekends for small hikes up the hill. Since we are close to the beach, it makes it easy for us to go down to the beach for small outings. Our niece loves going with us to the beach.

We are also right next to the Port of Los Angeles. Each year during Memorial Day weekend, the port hosts Fleet Week. This is a special event for our community as many branches of the military come to show off their boats and military vehicles. We both love attending this event and always dream of taking our children there one day

Personal Values as a couple: Spirituality plays a vital role in our parenting philosophy. We believe in embracing who we are, finding inner peace, and being guided by values of love, respect, and acceptance. We want our child to feel connected to something greater than themselves, whether through faith, nature, or simply a deep understanding of their purpose in the world. Accepting oneself fully is crucial, self-love is the foundation for a fulfilled and meaningful life.

Traveling and seeing different cultures is also an essential part of our family’s identity. We are passionate about teaching your child not only about their own cultural heritage but also about the diverse traditions and values of the world. Exposure to different cultures fosters empathy, broadens perspectives, and nurtures an open heart. Whether it's through our cherished family traditions—decorating our home for Christmas, celebrating New Year's Eve out in the world for a fresh start, or traveling to Peru to connect with Diego’s roots—we want our child to experience the beauty of traditions and the joy of exploring new places. Our dream is to raise a child who is loving, accepting, and confident in who they are.

Openness:

We are open to having any kind of relationship with you and we want you to know that you will always be a special part of our lives. Without you, we would not be able to have the family we've always wanted. We plan to send updates to you annually or as often as we can, and we feel that it is important for you to visit us when you feel ready. We want you to know that we accept any amount of relationship that you want, whether that be nonexistent or an important part of our lives.

When it comes to talking to our children about their mother, we plan on telling them about how amazing their mother is for being so selfless and how their mother has made the most beautiful choice of all. We plan to refer to the mother as a close family friend who means so much to our family. We know that this may be one of the biggest decisions of your life, but we will always be here for you.
We want you to know that we will love your baby as if there was no other person in the world. Your baby will be as protected as the most precious gemstone in the whole world. We will let nothing happen to them, as they mean more to us than anything on the planet. Knowing this, we both hope that it will bring some peace of mind.

Parenting‍

We want to provide your child with the best life possible, one filled with love, experiences, and opportunities—while also teaching them the values of humility and gratitude. It’s important to us that they understand that everyone, regardless of their background, deserves kindness and respect.
We strive to be the kind of parents who celebrate our child's victories, cheer them on in any activity they choose, and support them through setbacks. Life isn’t just about winning; it’s about resilience and learning from challenges.
Parenting isn’t always easy, it requires patience, sacrifice, and showing up, even when it's tough. We learned this through our experience as foster parents, which was incredibly rewarding, especially caring for a newborn.
We also want to help your child develop a strong sense of self-worth and curiosity about the world. We look forward to sharing our travels, particularly to places like South America, where Diego is from, to explore different cultures. We want them to see the world as vast and beautiful, full of diverse people and families—just like ours.

In Closing:

We promise to always make education a top priority for your child. We will always validate your child's feelings and beliefs. We want to pass on our family's values of hard work and effort. We will make sure that your baby is exposed to as many activities as possible, so that they can find their own passions and desires in life. We will make sure that they know right from wrong. We also promise to make them laugh every day, so that they never go to bed feeling sad. We promise to always protect them and love them with every inch of our mind and soul. We both want to thank you for taking the time to read our profile and for considering us to be the adoptive parents of your baby. It is such an important time in your life right now and we are so proud and thankful for people like you who are making the most loving and selfless decision of all. We want to reassure you that if you choose us, once the baby is in our care, that this will not be the final goodbye. Whether you want to be a part of our family or not, we will always love you and think of you. We are open to making sure that we stay in touch throughout the baby’s childhood and look forward to meeting you.
