Are Hoping to Adopt a Baby

dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
We know the decision you are facing is incredibly important and deeply personal, and we are so grateful that you are taking the time to learn about us. Our journey to grow our family has not always been easy, but it has brought us here with so much love and hope for the future. We would be truly honored if you chose us to be your child’s parents.
If you do, we will do everything we can to give your child a childhood filled with love, security, curiosity, and opportunity. Education is very important to both of us—we both have doctoral degrees—and we will encourage your child to discover their own interests, follow their dreams, and always believe in themselves.
We also hope to share our love of travel and different cultures. Your child would grow up hearing English, Spanish, and Greek and experiencing the traditions of both our families. We travel to Colombia and Greece to visit family and love exploring new places together.
We are fortunate to live in a beautiful coastal community with beaches, parks, and many young families. We can already picture afternoons at the playground, days at the beach, family dinners, and all the little moments that make childhood special. Thank you for considering us. Whatever you decide, we are praying for you, your baby, and your journey ahead.
With love and hope, Alexi and Leidy
Our Lifestyle
We feel incredibly grateful for the life we have built together, filled with love, laughter, friendship, and adventure. Leidy is a kind and loving chemical engineer who enjoys tango and salsa dancing, biking, yoga, jogging, and studying Greek. Alexi is fun-loving and caring. He is an associate professor of economics who loves his research and teaching, and in his free time enjoys soccer, going to the gym, and cheering for college football.
We especially enjoy the simple moments we share. We love jogging together to a nearby park along a beautiful river, watching the container ships pass by. On weekends, we enjoy walks and swims at nearby beaches, followed by delicious boiled shrimp and other seafood. We also love gathering with friends at neighborhood restaurants.
We look forward to sharing these experiences with a child and creating a home filled with love, laughter, curiosity, encouragement, and wonderful family memories.
Our Home & Neighborhood
Our Family & Friends
Family is a very special part of our lives, and we feel fortunate to have loving families in both Colombia and Greece. Leidy has one older sister, who is married and has a son, our wonderful nephew. Her extended family is very large, with more than 20 aunts and uncles and nearly 50 first cousins! When we visit Colombia, we love spending time with her parents, sister, and nephew at their beautiful country home about an hour outside the city. Often, cousins, aunts, and uncles join us, turning our visits into lively family gatherings. One of our favorite traditions is making sancocho, a delicious meat and vegetable stew, together in a giant cauldron over an outdoor fire.
Alexi’s family is smaller but just as close. He has one older sister, and we enjoy walks on the beach or downtown with his parents and trying new restaurants together. We also look forward to seeing his parents each summer in Greece, where they spend several months traveling and enjoying time with family.
What We Love About Each Other
Alexi about Leidy: I love Leidy because she is incredibly patient and sweet with me. She has a kind heart and always makes the people around her feel cared for. I deeply admire her determination and the way she approaches everything she does with curiosity and intelligence. She is incredibly smart, and I am constantly amazed by how much she knows and how much she loves learning.
Leidy about Alexi: I love Alexi because he is kind, funny, and always supportive of me. He encourages me to follow my interests and dreams and is always there when I need him. I love that we can laugh together, support each other, and enjoy both our adventures and everyday moments as a couple.
