Claudio & Kimberly are hopeful adoptive parents from Florida waiting to adopt a baby.

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

Our letter to you Hi,

We realize that what is a very exciting time for us is a very challenging time for you. We promise to provide a loving, supportive and safe home for your child. Your child will always know the incredible sacrifices you made and that your decision is the ultimate act of love. Our role as parents will be to protect that love through their journey in life.

We are so excited to be parents and can’t wait to unconditionally love your child and nurture their wonderful qualities as they grow and mature.

Our parents provided both of us with a good education and we plan to do the same. We both went to private schools and received college degrees. We have already began a college fund that will grow throughout the years. This child will have the opportunity to attend the college of their choice, if life takes them in that direction.

Respecting and appreciating other religions and cultures is very important to us. Claudio is originally from Europe. Claudio has lived in many different countries and appreciates cultural differences. He is multilingual (speaks English, Spanish, Italian and German). We are looking forward to teaching our child different languages and exposing them to different cultures.

We both really enjoy our home and taking care of it. We love our fenced yard and enjoy using the community pool and fitness center. We love animals and have two cats, Lili and Jasmine and a Golden Retriever dog named Halo. They love children and can't wait to have a little child around.

Our home has three bedrooms and our child will have their own bedroom and bathroom. We look forward to decorating their bedroom with their favorite things. Our home is very comfortable and it is full of love and happiness. It is a place that will provide a consistent and safe environment for our child.

We love our neighborhood and plan to be here for a long time. We were married on the campus of our local university and we are college football fans. We have a solid, loving marriage and we have so much fun together. We lean on each other for balance and clarity. We enjoy traveling but are just as happy at home. We enjoy cooking good meals but we have more fun eating them! We love to take day trips to the beach and exploring different parts of Florida.

We will provide your child with a loving forever family. We are ready to be there to accept them with open arms, an understanding soul and a loving heart.

Warm regards,

Claudio & Kim

Our letter to your child Hi,

We are so excited to meet you!

Our names are Claudio and Kim. We are friendly and we like to laugh and smile a lot! Our friends think we’re funny. We just like to have fun and make people smile. We are married and love and respect each other very much.

We have two pretty kitties, Lili and Jasmine and a Golden Retriever named Halo. They are so funny together. Lili thinks she is Jasmine’s mommy and cleans her head with her rough tongue. They are very cute to watch. Jasmine is very playful and Lili is more serious. Halo, the dog, is just a big love. We can’t wait for you to meet them and they can't wait to meet you.

We live in a pretty house and we are having fun decorating your room for you. We have a pool near our house and it even has a splash area for children. When you're old enough to swim, we will put lots of sunblock on and go have fun in the sun!

We know you’re going to love living here. We’ll play until we can’t play anymore, eat yummy (healthy) food, take trips to Disney and the zoo and live a long and happy life together. We will also be here to support you as you go through school. We’ll learn new things together and read lots of books. We will be your forever family and we will always be here for you.

We are excited to become a family, share our unconditional love with you and give you the wonderful experiences in this amazing life that you deserve.

Love always,

Claudio & Kim

Our story of love It's exciting how life takes its twists and turns. It was less than five years ago when both of us were praying to find that special someone who shared our individual values. We had both dated other people, but hadn't found the person that makes you say in your head, "I'm going to marry them someday."

Kim's dream come true
Fate had its way in the spring of 2006 when Claudio and I were brought together. I knew right away that this was the man I was meant to be with. His kindness and genuine giving spirit was just what I had been looking for in a life partner, it just took me a while to find him:) We are not only husband and wife, but we are best friends. Claudio and I love to make each other laugh and we share so many special moments together, with our animals, our family and our friends. In fact, as I'm working on writing this listening to Pandora Radio, Claudio just came up to me and started dancing with me and our cat, Jasmine:) We like to have fun and act silly.

When there are big decisions to make, like the decision to adopt a child, our relationship remains strong and the respect we have for each other never fades.

I am so excited to adopt a child for so many reasons. What I think I'm most excited about is watching Claudio be a dad. He was made for this and our child is going to be one lucky cookie to call him daddy.

Claudio's wait has ended
I thought finding the woman of your dreams only happened in the movies, until I met Kim. Kim's positive attitude and independent spirit was just what I was looking for. I knew shortly after meeting Kim, that she was a girl I could spend the rest of my life with. We're a really good team, in good and challenging times. One of the things I love about Kim is her nurturing ways. Children are drawn to her and she is so good with them. Several of our friends have children and she treats them with as much love as she would her own. I can't wait until she's a mom.

Why consider us? We have a lot of love to give. We do not have children and all of our time and love will be dedicated to bringing our child up to be happy and successful in whatever life path they choose. We love our animals so much, but they are tired of us dressing them up in cute outfits and walking them around our neighborhood in strollers - they can't wait for us to adopt a child. Just kidding:) Seriously though, we love our animals very much but there is more than enough love to go around in our home.

We live in a nice, quiet neighborhood and are surrounded by great schools. We have done a lot of research on schools in the area and have chosen a couple of private schools that place a high value on teaching to individual strengths. These schools not only teach academics, but also teach children the importance of integrity of character and how to care for yourself, your family and those you love.

We are family people. We are both from relatively small families and family is so important to us. Despite Claudio's family being an ocean away, with today's technology, we are able to be in contact with them through the computer and phone. His parents visit us each year for our favorite family holiday, Thanksgiving. We see Kim's parents often. Our parents fully support our decision to adopt and they cannot wait to welcome a new member of the family. This will be their first grand child and they all have so much love to share.

We have the financial means to raise a child. Claudio has a successful job as a research translator for a large company (he's able to work from home). He also is a Certified Microsoft Systems Administrator and does computer consulting with start-up companies. Kim is a Communications Coordinator for a large healthcare system. Our financial portfolio is strong and we have started a college savings account.

We have a strong faith in God. God is good, all the time! We believe that God has a plan and we are here to live out that plan. We are thankful for each day God gives to us and we try to make God proud by how we take advantage of each day. We plan to raise our child in faith, and to have the freedom to choose their belief system when they are old enough to do so.

I (Kim) use a wheelchair for mobility because I was born with Muscular Dystrophy. My disability has made me an independent and an emotionally strong woman. I drive my own vehicle and lived on my own throughout my undergraduate and master's degrees in college. I have been blessed with a great support system, including my husband, family, friends, service dog and a personal assistant.Your child will always be safe in my care, you can count on it.
I am more than happy to answer any questions you have about my abilities to physically care for a child, please ask!

Claudio is originally from Europe and can't wait to share that part of the world with our child. Claudio's parents are from Austria and Italy, they met in Austria. Claudio, his brother and sister moved to Venezuela when they were young because their dad was transferred there for work. He grew up as a European in Venezuela, traveling to Europe each year to see family. Claudio moved to Miami, Florida for college and remained in the United States.

Claudio is fluent in four languages, English, Spanish, Italian and German. Claudio will teach our child these languages at a young age setting them up for success in school. Although I have traveled around the US and to the Caribbean when I was with Disney Cruise Line, Claudio will be our travel guide when we venture on a European trip:)

We are a healthy couple. We eat healthy food and want to bring our child up on high-quality, healthy food. We believe if one eats right, takes care of themselves, physically and mentally, many illnesses and diseases can be avoided.

We believe in proactive parenting and not in punishment. As an educator, I (Kim) know that positive reinforcement works and we will practice this with our child. Claudio is such a gentle man and does not raise his voice or yell. Children often challenge their parents, and it requires patience to help children learn from their 'challenging' behavior. We both have the patience good parenting requires.

We've done our research. We are prepared to be parents. We have talked to our friends who have recently had babies and close friends of ours adopted a baby recently. We've learned from them and from the books we have read about being a new parent. We've even researched different product safety ratings and are confident we will be able to provide what our child needs.
