"Love Makes a Family"
Luis and Justin
Our family motto is "Love Makes a Family." Family, friends, and everyone in between, it comes down to love making us a family.
We are Justin, Luis and Amelia and we hope that the pages you are about to read serve as a humble introduction to our lives, friends, and family. We can't begin to imagine what this journey had been like for you, but we know that your courage and strength will guide you through this, no matter what you ultimately choose.

Dear Expectant Mother
"Thank you for giving us the chance to be a part of your journey"
Luis, Justin and Amelia
As you are considering the best choice for the both of you, we want you to make an informed decision and hope this profile helps in that process. One thing we want you to know is that you matter. The decision you make will affect everyone involved, and it isn't something that should be made lightly. We recognize the pain and the struggle that comes with this decision, and we understand how overwhelming it can be. We also want you to know that whatever you decide, we pray that you feel peace in the end.
Thank you for giving us the chance to be a part of your journey. We appreciate the time we have here with you and hope we have an opportunity to learn more about you in the future.
------------ With love and respect, Luis, Justin and Amelia

Our Why
"We both love being dads and have loved every minute of parenting Amelia."

We have known we wanted to adopt for a long time. As a same-sex couple, we knew we only had a few options for building a family. After carefully weighing all the options, we felt drawn and confident in building our family through adoption. We both love being dads and have loved every minute of parenting Amelia. We want to continue building our family and again feel drawn to adoption. We firmly believe that love makes a family, and we can't wait to welcome another baby to our growing family.
Our Story
"We were surrounded by friends and family and it was a perfect day."
Luis and Justin on a date night
We met through a mutual friend (the internet) and had our first "date" at a Starbucks. Throughout our first date, Justin ate a burrito and although he remembers offering to bring one for Luis, he only brought one for himself.
Even with tortilla stuck in his teeth, we both hit it off really well and couldn't have imagined the journey that this first date at a random Starbucks would lead us on. The city we were in served as a wonderful backdrop while we dated and learned more about one another, building our relationship together and becoming great friends along the way.
Our wedding was in November of 2019. We were married at our church home, the first same-sex couple to be given that honor. We were surrounded by friends and family and it was a perfect day. Since then, we have continued to grow closer and love life together. We aren't naive to think there won't be ups and downs, but we are committed to doing this life together!
