We are Ben & Dina from San Clarita, California. We are excited to begin this journey in our hopes to become a family and we appreciate you taking the time to get to know us.

Our inability to have children biologically has led us here and we are so excited to be here, meeting you, and beginning our path to growing our family! Our lives are very full and we are grateful for the opportunities we have, and hope to share this with a special little one. We want you to know that we are ready to open our hearts and provide a loving home to your child.

We met via online dating, something Dina nevi thought she would do! However, if it weren’t for good friends making her profile for her, she would have never found Ben. Fast forward, we met online and found what a true love story is made of. Ben lived in Arizona, Dina lived in San Diego, so we were left with many hours of phone calls to get to know each other deeply.

We fell in love over the phone, and once we met in person it was as if we knew each other forever! It didn’t take long for us to decide we needed to be together. Within a year we were married! From day one, we talked about our desire to have a family. We have not been able to conceive on our own and are just over-the-moon excited about starting our adoption journey!

We work hard so we can enjoy life! We love the outdoors! We’re both very active and run and bike regularly, in addition to snowboarding in the winter and wakeboarding in the summer. We have competed in several Ironman Triathlon races and love staying active. To relax we love a good movie with popcorn and root beer!

Dina loves crafts and making handmade cards. They mean so much to her family and friends who receive them. Ben plays Clash of Clans with his nephews, who refer to him as the “greatest player”.

We look forward to sharing our active lifestyle with our future child. One of our greatest activities is watching our family bond and grow through our annual trip to Lake Powell with our family and friends, and we can’t wait to share these experiences with our future child.

Dina is nurturing & caring, always looking out for other people’s feelings. She makes it a priority to acknowledge everyone’s birthday and making others feel special. Dina is known for how sweet and thoughtful she is.

Dine is extremely athletic. She has completed several UltraMarathons (50 mile trail races) and a couple of Ironman Triathlons. She mountain bikes, wakeboards, snowboards, and is able to do just about any sport!

Dina loves life! She loves to make the best of any situation and playfully turns most things into a “party”. For example, when watching a TV show before going to sleep, she will get a snack and say “we are having a party”.

Dina is so creative. She loves making handmade greetings cards, throwing fun parties with personalized themes, and home décor. She loves photography and documents most events in our daily lives.

Religion is important to Dina and she is very active in her church, which has given her strong values that has shaped her into the person she is today.

Ever since I was a young child I dreamed of being a mom. People have always told me that I am very nurturing and would be a great mom. Although my attempts with having a child has not been successful, I am hopeful to become a parent through adoption. I dream of giving a little one a loving, fun and happy life.

Ben is the most kind, calm and easy-going person. He is the first to offer help to others and is loved by everyone. Ben is intelligent and an amazing problem-solver. He has a great career which gives us financial security – he is the Chief Financial Officer at his company.

Ben is extremely athletic. He has completed a couple of Ironman Triathlons and several Trail Races. He loves being active and lives a healthy lifestyle.

He forms quick connections with kids by playing with them and giving them attention. Ben is known as “Uncle Ben” by all of our friends’ children.

Family is very important to me. I come from a large family and I have lots of nieces and nephews. I am looking forward to becoming a father and adding to our large extended family.

We live in Santa Clarita, California. We have a 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom home that we bought in a new development two years ago. We love what this new neighborhood has to offer, including several young families who enjoy getting together at our community park to play. We are nestled in the base of some beautiful hiking trails that give you the feel of living outside of the city, yet we are only miles away from everything! Our neighborhood is quiet yet filled with friendly neighbors who are happy to live in our little piece of paradise. We have a community pool/recreation center that feels like a resort. We are a short distance from all of the major theme parks, including Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, and Magic Mountain, all of which we are excited to someday take our child.

Ben has an accounting degree from the University of Florida. He is the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at an Electrical Contracting Company owned by his brother. The company installs the electrical infrastructure within the freeway systems throughout California. He loves his job and working closely with his brother to continue the success of the company.

Dina always wanted to help others, which led her to a successful career as the Clinical Director in a Neuro-Rehabilitation program, working with individuals who had sustained Brain Injuries. She was the Director over the San Diego Region, and loved connecting with her staff and the patients they worked with. Since moving to Santa Clarita for Ben’s job, Dina now manages the rental properties that we own.

We were both raised in tight-knit families that love to do thins together. Ben has a very large family – 11 siblings and many nieces and nephews! Most of Ben’s family live in Florida. He has a brother that lives within 20 minutes of us, and they also work together. Dina has two brothers and three nephews. Dina’s family gets together frequently and loves outdoor activities. From a young age, Dina’s brother has taught his sons all outdoor sports, and now they are very skilled Mountain bikers, snowboarders and wakeboarders. As a family, we often do these activities whenever we are together. Dina’s parents live in Utah, and everyone looks forward to getting together often in Utah to go snowboarding, mountain biking, rock climbing, and all that Utah has to offer. We are fortunate to have lifelong friends who are just like family. Many of our friends have children and they call us Aunt and Uncle.

Being parents is something we have dreamed of our entire lives. Our hope is that one day we will be able to share our lives with a special little one. We thank you for considering us for your baby and we hope that you feel a special connection to us. We promise to do everything we can to give your baby a happy and loving life.

Our priority is our family. Currently, we focus on all of our nieces and nephews, but we look forward to sharing our family values and traditions with our future child. We gather together with all of our families for each of the holidays. Dina’s mom has a tradition of giving everyone a small holiday decoration for each holiday, which we cherish and it’s fun to display the various decorations throughout the years. Dina’s parents continue to put presents under their Christmas Tree for everyone “From Santa”, no matter what our age (adults and kids) we look forward each year to celebrating Christmas and opening gifts at their home in Utah. In addition, our Annual Houseboat trip to Lake Powell is a must! So many memories are created each year as we bond as a family and have fun on the lake.
