We have two sons, Levi (5), and Julian (3). They fill our lives with so much joy! They love getting to spend time with extended family, playing outside, and having play dates. We have loved watching them grow from precious little newborns to wonderful kids with their own unique personalities and interests.

Julian is too young to grasp the idea of adding to our family, but Levi is thrilled to have another sibling. Levi is an amazing, protective, fun, and helpful big brother. Julian is goofy, caring, easy to get along with, and loves babies so we know he will make a great, big brother also.

We are so excited to add another addition to their sibling group and we know this child will be welcomed by Julian and Levi with love and open arms!

To us, the tile of parent is an honor. We feel so blessed to raise children and we take the job very seriously. We love watching them learn and play. Hearing them giggle and run around the house brings us so much joy even on the most difficult of days. Of first importance to us is teaching our children about God and ensuring they feel how loved they are. It’s also important to us that our children one day look back on their childhoods and remember many fun memories with friends and family. Lastly, we know an immensely important part of our job is raising confident adults so we give our children many opportunities to problem solve and we teach the importance of being kind to others while still being able to stand up for themselves and what is important to them. 

Noa About Vicente: Noa discovered one of her favorite attributes of Vicente’s on our first date. After going Christmas caroling, we went to watch a movie at the theater. During the middle of the movie, Noa tipped her water bottle to take a drink and discovered it was empty. She quietly set the bottle in her lap. Not long later, she was concerned when Vicente stood up and left the room. He came back a few minutes later with a new bottle of water for her. Noa didn’t even know he had realized she was out of water. This was the first of many examples of Vicente’s keen attention to other’s needs, and kind nature. He is also so strong yet gentle, trustworthy, funny, hardworking, and playful.

Vicente About Noa: Vicente immediately noticed Noa’s beauty, gentleness, and beautiful singing talent. As we dated these characteristics were proved to be authentic and deeper than Vicente could have imagined. Vicente also learned of Noa’s trustworthiness and fun sense of humor. Despite a person’s occasional shortcoming, Noa is always quick to forgive. Vicente also cherishes when he hears Noa singing as she graciously works through a task. 

Family is very important to us so we are thrilled to live close to Vicente's dad and Noa's parents, and other family members who are involved in our lives. We also live with Vicente's grandfather, Joe, who enjoys talking to and playing with the kids.

We often spend time together having pot luck meals or small parties on holidays and birthdays.  We have extended family in other states who we love to stay in touch with online and visit from time to time.

Noa has 3 siblings,  her older brother and sister were adopted from Liberia, Africa as teenagers. The adoption of her older siblings as well as many of her close childhood friends is what sparked her desire to want to adopt someday. Upon revealing our decision to adopt, all of our family members met the news with nothing but, kindness, support, and excitement.

This child will be so incredibly loved by many!

We both have lived in New Mexico since childhood and we love it here. It has been a wonderful place to grow up in and now raise children. We currently live in a four bedroom two story home with our two sons, Levi and Julian, and Vicente's grandfather, Joe.

In our lovely mountain neighborhood, we have a trampoline, a kiddie pool, and there is a large concrete driveway that is perfect for creating calk artwork on. There are two porches where we enjoy sitting to get some fresh air or hosting outdoor family lunches with extended family and friends.

The area we live in is quiet and clam yet close to a library with a wonderful kids section and programs, hiking trails. several great parks, a public pool with amenities for all ages, and a small ice skating rink and ski resort that both open in the winter. We love attending beautiful local parades and annual events that cater wonderfully to kids.

Our favorite parade is a Christmas parade with stunning floats covered in Christmas lights, talented high school bands, lots of candy, and a float with the Grinch and Santa. We also have an amazing, supportive church family and our church has a fun Sunday school program and other events for kids.

We sincerely thank you for considering us for your child. We can only imagine what you are going through and though we do not know you, we admire your bravery and strength. We pray that whatever decision you make, you feel peace and comfort in that decision.

A little background on us: We met 9 years ago through college and church. One evening, Vicente texted Noa out of the blue for the first time and it was an instant connection. We have texted or talked every day since. We celebrate our 7th?wedding anniversary this year and have learned through the years that me make a great team. We welcomed our first baby, Levi in 2020 and Julian was born in 2022. Becoming parents has been incredibly rewarding beyond what we could have imagined. We adore spending time with our children and are so excited to add another addition. We continually seek God’s guidance in our parenting and encourage our children to seek God as well. We believe that we are to follow God’s example of loving unconditionally so we make that a key aspect of how we raise our children. We will love them no matter who they are or what decisions they make, and we will always be there for them. We also think it’s important to raise people who know how to think for themselves and make smart decisions so we actively provide as many opportunities as we can to support problem-solving skills and critical thinking through play and daily activities.

Noa is a Registered Nurse and works three nights a week. We really like this schedule because she has time to spend with the kids every day and four days a week off. Vicente works part time as a jeweler. One or both of us is always with the kids and we use this time with them to homeschool and create beautiful memories. We also have a family game night with each week which we all look forward to and enjoy.

Currently, we live with Vicente’s grandfather Joe as he can no longer live on his own safely. He is a kind man, who loves playing with the kids and is excited about our decision to adopt. We love that our children get the opportunity to be close to their great grandfather and learn the importance of family and caring for loved ones at an early age. Our family contains members of several different backgrounds, cultures, and races. Levi and Julian are biracial, and we teach them to embrace their identities as both Mexican and white. We want all of our children to feel comfortable in their skin and love who they are. We will do everything in our power to help them see their worth and beauty and how loved they are. Both sides of our family embrace diversity and see it as a beautiful thing.? No matter what your background is, we will be happy to accept you and your baby for who you are.

We promise to put the best interest of this child before ourselves always and treat him/her with respect and kindness. This child will be welcomed happily by our entire family and will always be showered with endless love. We are more than happy to work with you on an adoption plan that makes you feel as comfortable as possible. We would love to stay in contact with you through email and phone calls if you wish and we will gladly send pictures, letters, and keepsakes regularly. We promise to speak highly of you and your bravery to this child and answer any questions that they have with honesty and compassion. We respect your decisions, admire your selfless actions, and will keep you in our prayers daily.

We want to encourage you and let you know that God loves you and your baby more than you could ever imagine. Thank you again for taking the time to get to know us a little. We wish you nothing but the best.

Much love and many blessings,

Vicente & Noa
