Our Story
Our names are Kelly and Hector. We both grew up in a small, semi-rural family oriented community in Southern California. We met and became good friends in high school. We even dated for quite some time. We stayed friends after high school for a few years but then we got busy with our careers and eventually lost touch. We often thought about each other and, one day, Hector found Kelly thru a school website. We made a date to meet and catch up with each other. We both soon realized how much we had in common. We still liked sharing the same family values, the love of the beach, sports and many other outdoor activities. We realized how much we missed each other and how much we meant to each other and fell back in love. We were married in 2006. We feel as if we fall more in love everyday. We are among the few couples who are both best friends and soul mates. Our favorite time of the day is the time we share together. We enjoy doing everything with each other.
We have tried to conceive a child but unfortunately are unable. We have researched adoption and we feel it is the perfect option for us. Our child will always know the true story of their adoption and the incredible way we became a family.
We have a very close extended family and they are all excited about a new addition to the family. Our life centers around spending time with our family for holidays, birthdays and almost any reason we can think of to get together. We have nieces and nephews who we truly adore. We enjoy spending time with them, whether it is going to the beach, the aquarium, whale watching, the movies, flying kites or just playing games. They are excited about having another cousin to play with and to share in our family’s fun.
We both grew up with family pets. We currently have two kitty cats, Marley and Priscilla. They both love all of the attention and affection they consistently get. We are waiting to get a dog. We plan to let our child choose their own dog.
We are blessed to be financially stable. We live in a 4 bedroom house in a family oriented Southern California beach town. We live a block from the beach and our church. We are also a block from a library, a child friendly park, schools, a grocery store and many restaurants. Our town has annual festivals that are geared towards family life. Some of the festivals are the Christmas Festival with a skating rink, the Annual Easter egg hunt, the 4th of July Parade and our favorite, the Halloween costume contest. Our city is very safe and offers great schools. We are very close with our neighbors, especially our next door neighbors, who just had twins.
We have a very active lifestyle. We love spending time walking on the beach or just around town, going to church, playing golf, boating, surfing and going to sporting events. We also enjoy the simple pleasures of sharing our days together whether we are just cooking dinner, doing household chores, gardening or having a relaxing day on the beach. We also enjoy taking vacations to both big cities to see all of the sites or sunny getaways just to relax and play a little golf. Some of our favorites have been Maui, Cabo San Lucas and Chicago.
We both have stable and long terms jobs that provide financial security. We are fortunate that our careers offer the flexibility to raise a child the old fashioned “hands on” method. Hector has been employed by Coca Cola for 11 years. Kelly has owned her own mailing and marketing company for 6 years. She is looking forward to spending time at home when the baby comes. We understand the responsibility and commitment needed to be good parents and we are blessed that we are extremely capable of doing so. We work very hard during the day but dedicate our evenings and weekends to our precious family time.
About Hector:
Hector is the middle child of 5 children in an extremely loving family. He has 2 brothers and 2 sisters. He is an Uncle to 4 nieces and a nephew. He is also a Godparent twice over! He is very close with his Mom who, as an experienced grandmother, is excited about another grandchild. She knows, with all of her heart, what a great father Hector will be. Hector’s father passed away a few years ago, but he was a great role model because he constantly participated in his children’s life, he even coached their sports teams. Hector has always been active in sports, ranging from Little League thru high school team sports. As an adult, he continues to stay active and loves to play golf. Hector would love to be able to teach his child all the sports he has been involved with, including volleyball, baseball, football, tennis, wakeboarding, surfing and, of course, golf! Hector is a licensed pilot but spends most of his time on the ground these days.
About Kelly:
Kelly is the older of two sisters in a very close knit family. She is best friends with her sister, Kristy, and her brother in law, George. When they got married, George had two older sons, Patrick and Scott, and together George and Kristy adopted a daughter, Amy. They even have 4 grand children now. Aunt Kelly is a favorite with their children and the grandchildren as well. Kelly’s Mother lives close by and is very excited to become a Grandmother. Kelly is close to her cousins and is Godmother to her a cousin’s adopted daughter, Katie. Kelly remains very close to her high school girl friends and their children also.
Kelly loves to cook, especially her traditional Christmas cookies. She is an avid reader and always keeps her eye out for the playful dolphins while walking on the beach. Kelly is a devoted sports fan and loves college football. She sets an example for people when it comes to generosity and thoughtfulness. She never forgets anyone’s birthday in the family and that is quite a list.
Kelly on Hector
Hector is the most patient, loving and generous person I know or have ever met. Everyone is drawn to his infectious smile and friendly attitude. He has a great sense of humor and is always in a good mood. I admire his love and devotion to his family. I know he will be a great father, I am sure of that based on the relationship he has with his nieces and nephew. He is a great role model and teacher. It seems to me that Hector can build or fix anything he wants to. I am constantly amazed at his handyman abilities around the house. One of my favorite things about Hector is that he is convinced he is “King of the BBQ”.
Hector on Kelly
Kelly is a loving and caring person with strong family values. She adores children, loves to be around them, and I know with all my heart she will make a terrific Mother. One of her favorite holidays is Thanksgiving because she gets to prepare dinner for our family and friends. Kelly makes it a priority to stay close to her friends, be they old friends of many years or new friends of just a few weeks. She has a warm heart filled with both compassion and charity for all people. Kelly is a fantastic wife, my best friend and my soul mate. I am blessed to have her at my side.

We will provide a solid family atmosphere. We understand how great this commitment is, and what a great responsibility it will be. We welcome it with absolute joy. We thank for your consideration.
