Anthony & Claudia – Texas

Hello & Thank You,  


First and foremost, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for considering us as adoptive parents for your child. We can only imagine how difficult this decision must be, and we want you to know that your love and concern for your child’s future are deeply admired and appreciated.


Our names are Claudia and Anthony. We have been together for eight years, married for six, and have known each other for more than twenty-five. Adoption has always been in our hearts. Our plan was to have a biological child first and then adopt, but God had a different plan. In 2020, we experienced a missed miscarriage, and despite trying again naturally, we were unable to conceive. We explored IVF and fertility treatments, but those were also unsuccessful. This path ultimately led us to adoption and to our greatest blessing, our daughter Lucianna, who joined our family in 2023. She is surrounded by love and brings us so much joy every single day. She cannot wait to be a big sister, and we cannot wait to grow our family again through adoption.


If you choose us, your child will always know their adoption story and the incredible love and courage behind your decision. From an early age, they will know their adoption story and grow up knowing how truly loved they are by both you and us. 


We are committed to providing a nurturing, supportive, and joy-filled home. Your child will be surrounded by a large, loving family, supportive friends, and endless opportunities to learn, grow, and follow their dreams. Most importantly, they will always know they are deeply loved and cherished. 


Thank you again for considering us as part of your adoption plan. We are ready to welcome another child into our family with open arms and an abundance of love.


With sincere appreciation and warmest regards,


Anthony & Claudia

Meet Anthony

Meet Dan

Dan is the most amazing person on the planet. He is everything that I ever wanted in a husband, and our son, Garrett, is so lucky to have him as a father. He is kind, patient, and hard-working. He loves to spend his free time playing with Garrett and teaching him new things. I am 

so proud of the parent he is; Dan was meant to be a father. 

Meet Anthony

Anthony is my best friend and the most patient person I know. He loves deeply and is never afraid to show his emotions. He encourages me to share my thoughts and feelings, which has taught me so much about the importance of mental health. He rarely gets upset, but when he does, he approaches the situation calmly and talks things through until we reach a resolution. He is incredibly driven and constantly seeks to learn and grow as he works toward his career goals.



Anthony is also creative and has a huge passion for music. He has an amazing sense of humor and loves his dad jokes, always finding a way to make our family and friends laugh. Most of all, he is the best dad — caring, loving, and playful. He adores spending time with Lucianna, whether he is playing guitar for her, making her giggle, or joining her on the drums. I am beyond grateful to have him as my partner in life and as the father of our daughter.

Meet Claudia

Claudia is the love of my life and my best friend. From the moment you talk to her, you feel drawn to her beautiful and positive personality. She believes in others even when they doubt themselves, and she offers prayers, comfort, and encouragement when someone feels alone. Her loyalty is unwavering, and the love and support she gives are truly unconditional.

 

I admire the way she nurtures her relationships with friends and family, keeping her bonds strong and lifelong. Where she shines most is as a mother to Lucianna. She is endlessly patient, loving, and attentive. Whether she is cuddling and reading with Luci, or dancing, playing, and running around the house together, she pours her whole heart into motherhood.

Anthony & Claudia - Getting to Know Us

Our Story

We first met in our last year of middle school. Anthony had the biggest crush on me, but I had no idea, even though everyone else seemed to know.  After middle school, we attended different high schools, but we often crossed paths through mutual friends and later reconnected on social media.


Years later, I moved to California to be closer to my sister, my nieces, and the beach, while Anthony was busy playing shows and recording albums with his band. When I learned he was single, I reached out, and our conversations quickly grew into something more. Not long after moving back to town, we met up and fell in love. Just two weeks later, in October 2017, we officially started dating.


Anthony proposed in January 2019, and that November, we were married in a small destination wedding on the beach. Our nieces were the sweetest flower girls, our parents proudly walked us down the aisle, and one of my best friends officiated. After exchanging vows, we took photos by the ocean before heading inside just as the rain began. Surrounded by our family and closest friends, we danced, laughed, and celebrated a night that so many of our loved ones still say was the best wedding they have ever attended.


Meet Lucianna

Meet Lucianna

We were blessed in the fall of 2023 with the life-changing call that Lucianna had been born. Overnight, we became parents, and it has been the most rewarding and proud experience of our lives. Lucianna is a very happy, smart, talkative, and independent toddler who lights up every room with her energy. She loves having dance parties with her stuffed animals or in her bouncy house. She also enjoys reading, and her eyes light up with excitement as she turns the pages, pointing out and naming familiar animals, colors, and characters. She is happiest when she is outdoors, whether going for walks, playing at the park, or exploring with her endless curiosity.

Our Home

Our home is located in a peaceful neighborhood just outside a major Texas city, where we enjoy the quiet of small-town living with easy access to all the city has to offer. It’s a cozy three-bedroom, two-bath house. We converted the office into a nursery, making it a special space just for our growing family. Our fenced backyard has plenty of room to run and play or just enjoy a sunny afternoon together.

Our Community

Just a short walk from our house is a community pool with a splash pad and park. It’s a great place to relax and have some fun. Lucianna enjoys splashing in the water and playing on the playground. We also spend time at nearby parks that have plenty of trails for walking and biking. When we want more activities, the city is only a quick drive away, and we love visiting the zoo, children’s museums, and amusement parks as a family. There is always something fun to do, and we are grateful our children will grow up surrounded by so many family-friendly places.

Anthony & Claudia - Extended Families

Anthony's Family

I'm blessed to have my parents; they have been married for 40 years. I have 6 siblings (4 brothers & 2 sisters) and 16 nephews and nieces!



My parents are both retired and enjoy working in their yard, going to concerts, and attending sporting events. They adore being grandparents to Lucianna and are very excited to welcome another grandchild into the family.


Claudia's Family

Claudia's Family

I am very close with my immediate family. My parents have been married for 48 years and live just 20 minutes away, so we see them at least once a week. My dad is retired from the Air Force and his civilian job, and my mom works part-time at an elementary school. Before settling in Texas, our family lived in several countries in Europe, which gave us the chance to experience different cultures and foods.



I am the middle child with two sisters. My older sister has three children and my younger sister has seven. They both live nearby, so we see them and our nieces often. Lucianna absolutely loves spending time with her cousins—whether it’s family barbecues, cheer at the volleyball games, sleepovers, or just playing together at home. We enjoy taking them on outings to the movies, museums, parks, and the pool, but we also love the simple moments like movie nights, dance parties, and giggles around the house.

Anthony & Claudia - A Look Into Our Life

Family Is Everything

Family means everything to us. We both come from big, loving families, most of whom live here in Texas, with a few in Oklahoma, California, Puerto Rico, and New York. No matter the occasion—holidays, birthdays, or just because—we love getting together, and our gatherings are always full of laughter, food, and fun.


Between us, we have 25 nieces and nephews, ranging from little ones to grown adults. They adore Lucianna and love playing with her and teaching her things. We feel so grateful that she, and our future child, will grow up surrounded by cousins and a big extended family who already cannot wait to welcome another little one.


Holiday Traditions

We love celebrating holidays and special occasions. At Easter, we gather with family for a big egg hunt with all the kids. On the 4th of July, we enjoy a BBQ with loved ones and end the night watching fireworks. Halloween is always a favorite as we dress up in matching themed costumes, head to Zoo Boo, and enjoy handing out candy. We also love attending Día de los Muertos festivals each year. Thanksgiving is all about family, delicious food, and playing games together. Birthdays are a big deal in our family, and we always celebrate with cake, decorations, and fun traditions to make the day feel extra special.

 

Christmas is our absolute favorite. We put on matching Christmas pajamas, take pictures with Santa, drive around to see the lights, attend Christmas service, and spend time with family eating, playing games, and opening gifts.


Vacation Time

We enjoy getting away to see different cities and countries to experience new cultures. Since Claudia grew up in a military family, traveling has always been a part of her life. I did not travel much before meeting Claudia, but together we have made traveling an important part of our lives.



Now that we are parents, traveling is even more special. We typically take a trip every 4–5 months, whether it’s a weekend getaway or a beach vacation. Beaches are our favorite since they are naturally beautiful and relaxing. Lucianna loves splashing in the water and playing in the sand. One of our favorite trips as a family was visiting Disney and Universal Studios in Hollywood. We also share a love for live sports, so we enjoy traveling to different cities to watch our favorite baseball and football teams. Traveling as a family of three has already given us wonderful memories, and we are excited for all the new adventures still to come.


Quality Time with Friends 

Quality Time with Friends 

We are blessed to have a large and diverse group of friends. Many we have known most of our lives. They have been very supportive throughout our journey to expand our family, and we are thankful to have them in our lives.


With our friends, we enjoy traveling, celebrating birthdays and accomplishments, watching sports, having game nights, and going out to eat. Many of our friends are married and have children, and they’ve shared parenting advice and insight to help prepare us. They were thrilled when we welcomed our daughter, Lucianna, and it has been so fun to see her included in all the kids’ activities. Our friends are just as excited as we are to welcome another child into the group.

Hello & Thank You , First, we want to thank you for taking a look into our lives and reviewing our book. We can’t even begin to understand what you are going through, but we pray that God continues to give you strength and courage through all the emotions you are feeling. We know that you are a selfless woman just by knowing that you are choosing to create an adoption plan for your child. Our names are Jose and Daniella. We met each other in 2014, and we got married in 2016. A year later, we began trying to have a child of our own. After three years of seeing a fertility doctor and seven years of trying different treatments, we were unsuccessful. Jose and I want to expand our family, and we know adoption is the answer to our prayers. We both have siblings we grew up with, and we hope that we are able to add another sibling to expand our love and family in the near future. We want you to know that your child is already loved by so many, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and many more family members. We promise to raise your child with unconditional love, provide many life skills, compassion, respect, morals, and provide any education your child dreams of. We also believe in God and would love to raise your child knowing who God is. If you choose us to be part of your adoption plan, we can assure you that we will share your child’s adoption story with them from the very beginning. We will celebrate the love you have for them and honor the decision you made. Thank you once again for this opportunity to get to know us. This process has been one we prayed and cried about, as having a family of our own has been a difficult journey for us both. As you glance through our book, we pray that you see the love we share with each other, our families, our faith, and the joy we have for the future journey we have prayed about. Whichever decision you make, we want you to know that you will forever be in our prayers. Sincerely, Jose & Daniella

Hello & Thank You , We are Chelsea and Nick, and we are truly honored and grateful that you are considering us as potential adoptive parents for your child. We want to acknowledge the immense courage and strength it takes to choose adoption, and we deeply appreciate the thought and care you are giving to this decision. Our journey to adoption has been deeply personal. While we have faced struggles with infertility, our desire to adopt began long before we were married. Growing up, Chelsea was surrounded by adoption. Two of her siblings, her aunt, and her uncle were all adopted, so building a family this way has always felt natural to her. Our faith in God plays a central role in our lives, guiding us to love, serve, and trust His plan. Adoption reflects the love and grace we believe He has shown us, and it is a path we hold very dear. After facing challenges and experiencing a loss, we were so blessed to welcome our daughter, Sofia, into our lives through adoption. She is everything to us, our little miracle and a daily reminder that love and hope can turn any hardship into something beautiful. For us, adoption represents not only the joy and love of expanding our family but also the incredible strength and love of parents like you who make this choice. We are surrounded by family and friends who have embraced our journey and who share in our joy and commitment to providing a nurturing and supportive home. As parents, we hope to offer a child a home where they will feel cherished and encouraged to grow, celebrate their uniqueness, and pursue their dreams in every way possible. Should we be chosen, we want your child to always know how special, wanted, and deeply loved they are—not only by our family and us but also by you. We want you to know that you will always hold a meaningful and cherished place in their life and in our family. Please know that your decision, whatever it may be, is honored and supported. Thank you for considering us as potential adoptive parents and for the hope you bring to families like ours. Please know that you are in our prayers. With heartfelt appreciation, Nick & Chelsea

Hello & Thank You , We are Dani, Joe, Emerson, and Benjamin. Nice to meet you! We are so grateful to you for taking the time to get to know us a little better. We realize you may be feeling many different emotions at this time, and we want you to know that we will be supportive of you and your child. We will care about you, too. Our hope in creating this book is that you'll feel the love, laughter, and joy in our daily lives and our adventures, and be able to imagine what a life with us could be like for your child. We have two children, Benjamin and Emerson. After complications from Dani's pregnancy with Emerson that led to a hysterectomy, Dani is no longer able to carry a child. In 2023, we adopted our son, Benjamin, and have an open relationship with his birth family. We are so grateful to his birth family for choosing us and trusting us to raise their child. We are excited to grow our family once again through adoption and are thankful to you for taking the time to get to know us. If you choose us, your child will grow up alongside two sweet and playful big brothers who are curious, energetic, and full of love. They will also have a gentle golden retriever nearby for snuggles and games of fetch. Our home is filled with laughter and connection, and we are intentional about creating a space where our children feel secure, encouraged, and deeply loved. We acknowledge that you have a very important role in your child’s life, and we would like to have an open adoption so that your child will know their story. It is important to us that we honor your wishes regarding the level of openness you would like in your child’s life. We will keep the promises we make together and always put your child’s needs at the center of our decisions. We both value kindness, curiosity, humor, and a love of learning, and we strive to model those values every day. We want our children to grow up feeling unconditionally loved, seen, heard, and supported. Even when life feels challenging, we face it together and always put our kids first. We are so excited to grow our family through adoption and would be honored to give your child that same love and support. Thank you for taking the time to read our story. We would truly love to get to know you. With Love, Joe & Dani

Hello & Thank You , Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about us and consider us as you explore your options. We know this isn't an easy decision. While we cannot know what you are experiencing, we truly respect the care and thought that goes into creating an adoption plan. We are Douglas and Pamela. We’ve been together for thirteen years and married for nine. Throughout our relationship, we’ve talked about building our family through adoption, and Pamela has known since she was a teen that adoption would likely be the safest way to start a family. While we did spend time hoping to conceive, we later learned that pregnancy would come with significant medical risks, including a very high chance of miscarriage and complications that could affect both her and the baby. After many visits with doctors and thoughtful conversations with each other, we chose adoption as the right path for us. We’re excited to open our hearts, our home, and share everyday moments together as a family! If chosen, your child will be raised in a loving, stable environment where they are deeply cared for and supported. They will grow up knowing their story began with love and care. We will always speak of you with respect and gratitude. Thank you again for considering us as adoptive parents for your child. Whatever you decide, we wish you peace, support, and kindness as you move forward. Sincerely, Douglas & Pamela

Hello & Thank You , From the very beginning, we want you to know you are seen and valued. We can’t imagine the strength it takes to walk this journey, and we truly admire your courage. As it says in Isaiah 41:10, “Do not fear for I am with you. I will strengthen you and help you.” We pray you feel that promise wrapped around you. That you are not alone, that you are supported and that God’s strength is carrying you through each step. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. It feels hard to put into words how much love and gratitude we already feel as we write this. Our names are Abbey and Jesus, and we live in Texas with our two dogs, Drax and Willow. Little did we know that a simple haircut would be the start of our lifelong adventure together. We have been together for eight years and married for almost 5 years. From that day forward, we built a life full of love, laughter, and faith. Every step has brought us closer, and now our hearts are ready to welcome a child with the same care and devotion we’ve poured into each other. We later found out that we could not have biological children due to infertility issues. While that news was difficult, it only strengthens what we already knew in our hearts that we wanted to be parents and share all the love we have to give. Adoption felt like the path God was leading us toward, and it has been calling to us ever since. We are so excited to open our hearts and home to your child. We promise they will always feel safe, loved, cared for, and supported. We believe it is important for your child to understand their adoption story and to grow up knowing how deeply loved by everyone involved. The relationship between a child and their birth family is significant, and we strongly support an open adoption. However comfortable you are, we would truly welcome you to be a part of their life. Thank you for opening your heart to read our story. No matter what you decide, we wish you peace, comfort, and endless love for you and your child. With love and gratitude, Jesus & Abbey

Hello & Thank You , We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to learn about who we are, and we are honored and humbled that you would consider us to adopt your child. While we can never fully understand how difficult this decision is or what you are going through, we want you to know that we see your strength, bravery, and selflessness. We will make sure your child grows up knowing that, and feeling proud of their story and where they come from. We are committed to being open and honest every step of the way. We are Andy and Katie. We have been married for 10 years and have known each other for 14. From the very beginning of our relationship, we knew we wanted to build a family together. About a year into our marriage, we began trying, but faced many challenges and soon started infertility treatments. After many years, tests, and procedures without success, we felt called to pursue adoption, not realizing our greatest gift was yet to come. We met our son, Jude, in March of 2024, and our lives changed in the best possible way. He is the love of our lives and has been surrounded by the love and support of our family, friends, and community from the very beginning. The additional love of the family we gained through his birth parents and birth grandmother has been immeasurable, and we truly feel that it was meant to be. Jude is so ready to be a big brother, and we are thrilled to grow our family through adoption again. When it comes to raising your child, we promise to surround them with love, from us and from the many people who support us. We will teach them to lead with empathy, kindness, and respect for others. We promise a life filled with joy, laughter, cuddles, storytimes, music, and adventure. We will be their biggest advocate. Most of all, we promise to always be open and honest, sharing their story with them and helping them feel proud of who they are. We are so grateful for you and hope our profile gives you a glimpse into our lives and helps you feel a sense of comfort in what lies ahead. We would be honored to learn more about you and walk this journey alongside you, whenever and if you feel ready. With gratitude and love, Andy & Katie

Hello & Thank You , We know your mind is probably running a million miles a minute right now, so we're grateful you're taking a moment to read this. Before we say anything else, thank you. Not for any decision you have or haven't made, but simply for the love that's clearly driving every step you're taking. The love it takes to be in this moment... to put your child's future above everything else... is something we deeply admire. Now, the introductions. We're Josh and Iffy, married for 6 years and residing in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with our little household zoo (three cats and one very outnumbered dog). We are, at our core, a team, and becoming parents together has been our dream. Our road here hasn't been without heartbreak. We've faced years of infertility and the grief of multiple miscarriages. Those losses changed us, and in some ways they led us here to you, to this child, to this path. We don't see adoption as a last resort. We see it as exactly where we were always meant to end up. If you choose us, we promise that your child will always know their story. Where they came from, and the extraordinary love that surrounded them from the very beginning... including yours. Your baby would be coming home to a place full of warmth, curiosity, laughter, and love. They would grow up knowing they were chosen, not because they had to be, but because we wanted them more than we can say. Thank you for considering us. Thank you for your courage, your love, and for reading these words. We are rooting for you, and we are so hopeful for what the future holds for all of us. With so much love, Josh & Iffy
By Brittany Carvalho January 22, 2026
Hello & Thank You , Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us and for considering us as a family to raise your child. Your love for your child is already evident, and we honor the strength it takes to make decisions rooted in that love. We can only imagine how overwhelming this process may feel, and we deeply respect the courage, love, and care you are showing. Please know we are thinking of you and praying for you as you navigate this journey, no matter what you decide. We are incredibly grateful and excited to be growing our family through adoption after a long journey with infertility and loss. For three years, we pursued fertility treatments and experienced seven early miscarriages. During that time, God began to give us a clear vision for how we would build our family. While our season of infertility was painful, it also strengthened our marriage, deepened our communication, and helped us grow in patience, faith, and trust in God’s timing. It prepared us spiritually, emotionally, physically, and financially for adoption. In March of 2024, we adopted our son, Dawson, from birth and were blessed to be by his birth mother’s side when he was born. We continue to share updates and photos with her today. We want you to know your child will be raised in a home filled with love, honesty, warmth, and support. We believe in teaching values such as respect, integrity, faith, and compassion, and we strive to make everyday moments meaningful as a family. Our home is a place where people feel welcomed, safe, and deeply cared for. We will always honor the level of openness you choose and deeply respect the trust and sacrifice involved in this decision. Our hope is that, through this book, you can see the love we have for each other, our son, our families, our friends, our pets, and the child we hope to welcome. We are truly grateful for your consideration of us as adoptive parents. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers, no matter what path you choose. With love, David & Lindsey

Hello & Thank You , We want to begin by saying thank you. Thank you for taking the time to read about our little family and for considering us as you make one of the most selfless and loving decisions imaginable. We cannot fully understand what you are walking through, but we deeply respect your strength, courage, and love for your child. We want you to know that if you choose us, your child will be loved, protected, and supported in every part of their life. They will grow up in a home filled with laughter, fun, and rooted in faith. We believe God is guiding both your journey and ours, and that He will place the right family for you and the right child for us. Our journey to adoption has been shaped by both hope and healing. In 2021, we received an infertility diagnosis, and while that was difficult, it opened our hearts to adoption. We chose not to pursue IVF or fertility treatments, believing our path forward was meant to look different than we first imagined. Shortly after that, we were blessed with becoming pregnant with our daughter, Ryleigh. Becoming her parents has been one of the greatest joys of our lives. Even after having Ryleigh, adoption has remained on our hearts as a calling we cannot ignore. After prayerful consideration, we feel now is the right time to grow our family. Ryleigh has been asking for over a year to be a big sister, and we know she will love and cherish a sibling with her whole heart. Texas holds a very special place in our hearts. When Drew joined the military, Texas was our first duty station. It is filled with both joyful memories and difficult ones, as it is where we received our infertility diagnosis but also where God blessed us with the miracle of Ryleigh. It would mean a great deal to us if your child’s story, which began in Texas, became part of ours. We are open to any level of communication that feels right to you and want this relationship to be guided by what you feel most comfortable with. Family and friends have always been at the heart of who we are, and we are excited to continue growing our family through adoption. We look forward to sharing our love, traditions, adventures, and support with another child as we continue the story God has written for our family. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers as you make this decision. We respect you deeply and trust that your child will be surrounded by love and cared for in the way they deserve, no matter what you choose. Thank you again for considering us and for taking the time to learn about our family. We are honored to be part of your journey in any way. With love, Drew & Emily
