Lorana & Raphael
Are Hoping to Adopt a Baby
dear expectant mother
We can only begin to imagine the difficulty in making this decision. Thank you for even considering us to take care of one of the most precious gifts life can give us. We can’t claim to know what the circumstances are that are influencing your decision, but they can’t be easy. Please know that we will love your little bundle of joy with all our hearts; that we pray daily to have the chance to share the love we have for each other with a little one that God will bring into our lives through your selfless act of love.
We eagerly await the arrival of our future family. We both love imagining the joy of taking a child to the park, teaching him/her to ride a bike, and snuggling with a bedtime story at the end of the day. We hope that we are able to give this child wonderful memories and help him/her become a successful and happy adult. We will strive to raise a child that can make us, and you, proud.
About Us
Our Home & Neighborhood
Our Family & Friends
Raphael comes from a small family. His father was an only child and his mother had only one brother, who currently lives in Brazil with Raphael’s only two cousins. He has two younger sisters in their twenties that live in an apartment near us and we get together with them quite regularly. His mother lives with us, in her own basement apartment.
Lorana comes from a larger family. Both of her parents are one of five children. All told, she has 27 first cousins. She has four siblings, two brothers and two sisters. Among her siblings, there are 10 nieces and nephews. Sadly, most of her extended family doesn’t live nearby, so it’s difficult to see them on a regular basis, but we keep in touch.
In Georgia, we mostly have chosen family. Raphael lived here most of his life and has several life-long friends that we often have join us for holidays and celebrations. We also have a few couples that we are very close to that are also currently growing their families. We look forward to raising our kids together. We’re big believers that love makes family, not blood.
