Mario & Meg are hopeful adoptive parents from Utah waiting to adopt a baby.

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

Dear Friends We have a lot of respect and admiration for you and the efforts you are making to determine the best for you and your child. Please know that we are thinking of you and praying for you to have the guidance you need to help you through these decisions and throughout your life. Thank you for your consideration in taking this time to look into who we are.

About Us We love to be together! There isn’t a day that goes by that we aren’t grateful to be husband and wife. We were good friends for a couple of years before we started dating. We soon became engaged and were married in 2001. There have been many happy times and a few hard times in our marriage. As we have struggled with infertility we have come to rely on each other and trust each other completely. Through it all we have remained best friends and are fiercely loyal to each other.

Our interests include movies, home improvement (Mario can build and fix anything!), gardening (Meg’s passion), camping, cooking, spending time with our nieces and nephews, serving in our church responsibilities and being together as much as possible.

Traveling is one of our passions! We have been to Hawaii, New Zealand and China, and have plans for many other destinations. We have experienced great joy in visiting historical sites, natural wonders, and the kindness and beauty of people throughout the world. Both of us come from diverse families and that has given us many opportunities to learn new things and experience many different cultures. We want our children to understand other cultures and be open and accepting of different traditions and views about the world.

Our love has grown to include our extensive family (we count our friends as part of our family). We gather often to eat, sing, play the ukulele, join in games, watch movies and just be together. We really enjoy that our home has become a place for friends and family to assemble and grow closer. We hope our children will understand the importance of their family and be close to them.

Our home is close to a small park and we have a big back yard full of trees, a garden, and (hopefully this summer) a sandbox. Mario and I have a little red-headed dog named, Kalohe (Hawaiian for rascal). He is energetic, affectionate and loves kids. Our nieces and nephews call him their cousin and love to play outside with him.

We work hard to make our house a place where everyone feels accepted and safe. Meg is a full-time homemaker and has discovered that being in the home is challenging and rewarding. We want our children to know that they are loved and can do anything with the help of their Father in Heaven. Mario and I will teach our children to be kind, patient, loving, and hardworking.

Mario's thoughts on Meg Meg and I were friends and spent a lot of time with each other before we started dating. It was while we were friends that I developed my trust and confidence in her. She and I would take walks and discuss our love life woes; I was so comfortable with her. I feel half silly but completely grateful that I finally recognized that she embodied what I was hoping for in a companion.

Meg has one younger brother who is happily married and blessed with three adorable children. Meg’s parents are two of the greatest pillars of our marriage. We are often blessed by their wisdom and especially their love for us.

Meg is the star I navigate by; she sets my course through life. I am always overwhelmed by the person she is. I often watch as she reaches out with love to all children. I’ve always known that she would be a great mother; she is filled with compassion, understanding, and a desire for the happiness of others. We spend a great deal of time with our nieces and nephews. I’m always touched by how tender and caring she is with them. Meg exemplifies how I want to be. I am blessed to be married to her. I see in her so many qualities that exceed my hopes. She is a perseverant, diligent, compassionate, nurturing, funny, forgiving, endearing, hard working, righteous, beautiful woman.

Meg’s thoughts on Mario Mario is a gentle soul. He loves helping others in any way he can. He never feels the need to put anyone down or make anyone feel bad about them self, just to make himself feel better. His parents taught him that everyone is important because they are children of God and that he should do everything he can to help them.

Mario loves computers, movies and the occasional game of Lego Star Wars. He can fix anything from a broken toilet to an elaborate computer program that is on the fritz. He works as a Computer Programmer and is very good at his job. He loves to travel and especially to fly. He even started getting his pilot license before we got married. One of my favorite things about Mario is his cooking. He can make anything taste good! My favorite is his homemade lasagna. When Mario and I first got married, we had some hard trials (not with each other but from outside forces) and I was scared. He took me in his arms and told me that we would be OK and I have never doubted that. I know anything is possible when I am with Mario, he teaches me so much. Mario has an incredible memory and a love of learning. He will sit around with his Dad and siblings, after a family dinner, and talk about everything under the sun from politics to engineering and everything in between.

Mario has a huge family, one sister and four brothers, tons of auntie’s and uncles, cousins, and nieces and nephews. He is the oldest and so everyone looks to him for help and advice. He can be silly at times and loves to make people smile. His sense of humor is dry and very witty. I fell in love with Mario very easily and my love for him grows stronger every day. He is my love and my hero.

Please know how grateful we are for your willingness to consider adoption. We hope that you will be guided in your decisions for what is best for you and your baby. Mario & I will always tell your child how much you love them and the great sacrifice you made for them. We admire you and know that your choice to place your baby for adoption is not an easy one. Thank you for being open to our family. Our prayers are with you.

Love,
Meg & Mario
