Mario & Erin are hopeful adoptive parents from Connecticut waiting to adopt a baby.

If you are pregnant and considering placing your child for adoption, please read the following Dear Birthmother Letter.

DEAR BIRTHMOTHER Hi, we are Erin, Mario, and James. Thank you for taking this time to get to know us. We hope that as you read this letter and look through our pictures you will get a better sense of who we are and what it would be like for a child to grow up in our family.
We realize you’re making an important decision for you and your baby. Everyone knows the courage that birth mothers show when they consider making adoption plans. We understand that you want to do the best for your child. Although we have been brought together due to different circumstances, our reason for pursuing adoption are the same – the love of a child.
We made the decision almost five years ago that we were ready to start our family, but things didn’t happen quite the way we thought they would. We have not been successful in our attempts to conceive. Through all of that, we both came to realize how devoted we are to sharing our love with each other and our family. Now we know that adoption is right for us to have the family that we have dreamed about for so many years.
Our hopes and prayers are with you. We know you are about to make a very crucial decision. We hope with all our hearts that you will choose us to love and raise your precious baby. If we are that family, we can promise that we will always be devoted parents and we will dedicate our life to being a mommy and a daddy. We dreamed of becoming parents for so long and know we are eagerly waiting for the day our second dream to come true. At some point in our journey, we will have a baby angel who will bring joy and happiness that words can’t possibly describe.


Thank you for spending time to get to know us. Like we said at the beginning, we truly believe that adoption is a miracle. And while we hope we find the right birth mother to help us with ours dreams, we also hope you find the right adoptive family for your child.

Loving Family Speaking of family, ours couldn’t be happier that we are adopting again. There are just bursting at the seams to find out more. We are so very close to both of our families, when we were suffering from our losses they were in pain too. So when everyone heard we were adopting again, they couldn’t wait to listen to the details and wanted to know what they could do for us. We are very fortunate to have a strong network of family and friends; we don’t know what we would have done without them. We know when we do bring another baby home; they will be waiting at our doorstep ready to help us out, because we know we will need it. With our families getting along so well, it makes for a great life together.

Erin and I have a wonderful loving fun-filled marriage. We have been through a great deal of heartbreaks, but we triumphed through then together. A greater appreciation of life, everyone’s life, is what we have come out with in the end. We learned the hard way that we cannot have biological children we have found another path leading us to having children. The love that we have for each other, for our family and for our friends can most certainly be shared with our future children. We are ready to shower our future children with love, hugs, kisses and lifelong road of happiness, wisdom and knowledge.

Erin (By Mario) Erin is a 37-year-old daughter, sister, aunt, friend, wife, and now a mommy. She grew up in the same small suburban town that I grew up in. Erin was raised in an Irish Catholic house with her mother, father and two sisters. Both of her sisters and her mother live in the same town. Sundays are our visiting days, so having both of our families live within three miles of each other is great for us. Erin’s father’s house is the next town over. If we time it right, we can see everyone and still be home before dark!

When I met Erin, her father was a Police Officer. Boy was that intimidating! He has since retired, and works as head of security for local company. Her mother is a Registered Nurse working on a surgical unit. They are model parents who taught their daughter’s how important it are to be good moral members of the community. I see qualities and characteristics in Erin that have been instilled by her parents. Erin is a hard worker, loyal, ambitious, motivated, dedicated and devoted. Even though Erin’s family is small, their love for one another is endless and is constantly growing.

One of the many reasons why I asked her to marry me was her love for family. I was hoping she wanted to share that love with me, thus I asked her to marry me, and here we are. We are extremely blessed in our marriage and with both of our families. Erin has a great relationship with my family and vice versa.
Our relationship is grounded in the support and love from our families.


Connecting the dots

As far back as I can remember Erin has always wanted to have a very big family. From the beginning of our relationship having many children was her dream. Once when she was talking to one of her friends, I overheard her say, “All I ever wanted to be was a mommy!” That still has not changed. Yes, there were some bumps in the road, but I knew that she would be a great mother. As you will learn, her whole life has revolved around caring for, teaching and loving children; and now she can do that at home.

Looking back, she obviously knew at such a young age that her life would center on children. At age ten she started babysitting, and when she was in high school she worked at a before and after school education program. After high school graduation, she worked as a nanny for four years. In 1997 Erin was accepted into the education program at a great college. Upon graduating college, she was offered a job teaching English Language Learners. Her students come from all over the world India, Vietnam, Poland, Canada, and Spain. I love it at dinner when she tells me stories about each student. She absolutely lights right up and she can’t stop talking about them. They put a smile on her face every day and that makes me happy. Now James keeps that smile alive for both of us everyday.

Mario (By Erin)
Mario grew up in a suburban town south of Hartford, CT. His parent’s moved from Italy to the United States in the late 60’s. They started their family in the early 70’s and boy oh boy did they start their family. I say that because Mario is a twin. He has a fraternal twin brother that he is extremely close to.

When Mario and his twin brother were 15 years old, they found out they were going to have a younger brother. They jumped right in to help their parents. I remember when we first started dating, Steven would go almost everywhere with us. Mario loved to take him around and show him to everybody. They both pitched in whether their parents were home or at work.

If his mother is not working, she is lending a hand in the community. It is important for her to give back to those who helped her, and those who need her help. She has so much love to give and she extends it to everyone. Mario’s dad owns an electrical company. He has mastered this trade; he knew that is was important to teach his sons the skills required to be a successful electrician. This is only one of many things that he has taught to his sons.

Mario’s parents not only showed them how to be domesticated, but they instilled a stable foundation of values. His family is loving, caring, generous, kind, respectful, helpful, and honest, devoted, dedicated, religious, and always thinking of each other. Each one of those values and more will eventually be conveyed to the rest of the children in our future family.

Both of his parent’s are truly dedicated to their family. It is no secret that they are incredibly proud of all three of them, and vice versa. No matter what they do, they have their mother and fathers support. There is a constant flow of encouragement and positive energy circulating around each family member. Whether it is starting a job, going to college, finding a future wife, building a new home or having a family, they are there for each other.
