Miguel & Kelly are hopeful adoptive parents from Colorado waiting to adopt a baby.

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

Open Letter Dear Birth Mother,

The decision to place your baby with an adoptive family is as courageous as it is responsible. We honor you for your strength of character and pray for your success in finding the right match for your child.

We are here because we have prayerfully decided to share our lives with an adopted child. This has been a great challenge for us because there are so many unknowns along the way and because we have very little control over the outcome. The process takes patience and faith, so we are making ourselves available, and trusting the Lord with the rest. We know that everything will work out for the best and look forward to what the future holds for us.

Its time for a new kind of adventure. We are ready to welcome a child into our home, to experience the joys and challenges of teaching and learning from him or her, and to feel the increase of love that comes with that relationship. We hope to have a chance to meet you as well, and will be praying that you receive comfort and guidance. Please let us know if you have any questions about us, or if you would like to meet.

Interests and Hobbies There are plenty of opportunities to play outside in Colorado, and we take advantage of them when we can. Every winter since we met, we have gone up to the mountains to snowboard as often as possible. Miguel likes the steep, fast runs. Kelly prefers more technical terrain with bumps, jumps and turns. We plan to teach our children to ski or ride as soon as they can walk (if not sooner). More recently, we learned to love the mountains in the warm seasons as well. We have been going on "geo-caching" hikes where we look for treasures and get lots of exercise at the same time.

Closer to home, there are also fun outdoor activities that we enjoy together. We live about a block away from a regional park with a huge lake in it that is stocked with Rainbow Trout. Miguel is more of a fisherman than Kelly, but she is the real aquaphile and loves to take her kayak out or just splash and play. We both like to ride water rides and can't wait to take our children to WaterWorld.

Our backyard has been an ongoing project because we enjoy building things from scratch. When we first bought the house, we hauled in 45 tons of soil and built hills for our gardens. In the summers since then, we have been the neighborhood supplier of zucchini and tomatoes. This year, we designed and built a tool shed on the side of the house. That was a practice run so that we know what to do when we finally build our new kitchen. We know that it is easier to have someone else do the big projects, but they are much more satisfying when we do them ourselves.

We also enjoy indoor activities, although you won't see as many photos of them. Miguel plays the French horn, cooks and enjoys all kinds of technology. He is always checking out the latest electronic gadgets. Kelly likes to make things with her hands and she spends a lot of time on schoolwork for her doctorate. She is almost finished. We both like to kick back and watch movies or play strategy games with friends. We've gotten to know quite a few couples in the ward and in our neighborhood and have started having our family home evenings with them and their children.

Even though we love our home, sometimes we just need to get away. About once each year, we visit Miguel's family in Texas or Kelly's family in Pennsylvania. We also go to Tahoe where Kelly's family has a winter home. We have also visited Hawaii, Virginia, Arizona and some other parts of California. We are planning to make more regular trips to the beach in the summer - the one thing lacking in Colorado!

We have been married for about three years and have been living in our little blue house ever since. It is in a friendly neighborhood near a great big lake and lots of open space, and has a great view of the mountains. We've made lots of friends in the neighborhood and in our ward, and plan to stay in the area to raise our family. Every Monday evening, we hold family home evening and invite friends to join us who have young families like ours. We look forward to continuing the tradition with our children.

We are technically an ethnically mixed family, part Mexican and part Eastern-European. The longer we are married, however, the more similar we become.

Kelly Kelly grew up very close to her one brother, Alan, playing and making forts in the forests of Pennsylvania, and has never lost her love of building or her love of trees. When she isnt writing her dissertation or teaching architecture classes at the University, she spends time on construction projects at home and helps friends with their landscape designs.

Kelly is outgoing and has a dry sense of humor. She loves teaching large classes and gets charged up from lecturing at the University. In her social life, however, she prefers smaller groups or one on one interaction. She is creative, intuitive, assertive, kind, trust-worthy and goal-oriented.

Miguel Miguel grew up in a big family (two sisters and three brothers) that moved all over the U.S. with the Navy. His great-great-grandparents came from Mexico City and he is fifth generation LDS with a huge extended family.

Miguel is introverted, but most people would never guess it. He is charming in social settings, which is good for his management position, but he really gets his energy renewed during quieter moments. He has always loved to play and work on computers and now he makes a good living as a network engineer at an internet company. He is intelligent, focused, politically minded, devoted and generous.
