Hello! We are Clemencia and Javier, and we want to tell you that we are so excited about the opportunity to become parents through adoption, again.  Although we don’t know the journey that has led you here, we admire your selfness and maturity in choosing adoption.  We thank you for giving us chance to show you a little bit of our lives.  We hope you enjoy it!!

ABOUT US We grew up in different countries in South America.  Little did we know that somehow, years later, according to God’s plan, we would meet in Philadelphia, PA.  We met 14 years ago at the school for English proficiency we were attending.  It was love at first sight! We knew we were made for each other.  It was the beginning of a beautiful “friendship” that soon turned to true love.  Six months later we were engaged, and we have been inseparable ever since.

After dating a year and a half and going back and forth between Colombia, Venezuela and Miami, our wedding day, thirteen years ago, was a perfect start to the happy life we have shared.  God played the principal roll that day and still does in our lives because we believe He brought us together.  Before we got married we talked about our strong desire of having children.  After attempting through infertility procedures, and overcoming the frustration it brings, we decided to adopt.  God and a generous birth mother like you, blessed us with the most beautiful baby boy, but we still have a place in our hearts that yearns for another little one that will complete this happy family. 

Our love for each other is much deeper now, and our relationship is closer and stronger, and we are pretty sure that our original call is the right one.  What really matters is to fill our home with the laughter of children and to have little hands to hold.  So we are hoping and praying that our adoption journey will give us the opportunity to share the love we have, together with another child.

OUR FAMILIES

We are very close to our parents and siblings, although most of them live in Colombia and Venezuela, but they visit us frequently, or we visit them.  We also have aunts and uncles and many cousins, nieces and nephews that bring joy to our lives.  We are surrounded by wonderful friends to celebrate with when times are good and, support us when we have to overcome difficulties of life.  We would love to add another child of our own to our many large gatherings.  Adopting another child will be the most joyful experience for us, for our son, and our family and friends would welcome with open arms.

WE LOVE CHILDREN

We both love children, and a proof of it, is the dedication and love we are giving to our adopted son, Gabriel, and we would love to share this love and dedication with another son or daughter.

We are always doing fun things, as a family.  We love going to the beach, going to parks, riding bicycle, and having fun in our back yard.  Javier loves to play with kids and, do projects around the house and would love to have another little assistant to teach. Clemencia loves reading stories to our child, drawing, playing the guitar and doing shows; and Gabriel... he just loves kids!  He would love to have a brother or sister!  It would be a blessing to have another baby home.

HAVING FUN TOGETHER

We love traveling and have enjoyed visiting family and friends in Colombia, Venezuela, Spain and vacationing in North Carolina, Las Vegas, Disney World, San Francisco, Key West, Toronto and Israel.  We also took a cruise to the Caribbean and another one to Alaska.  All the cities and adventures have been so exiting, and we would love to share our good times, adventures and voyages with another child.

OUR HOME

We live in a lovely house in a very quiet, family oriented neighborhood.  There is little traffic and the area is a very safe place for a child to romp and play.  There is also a park only two blocks from our home. Our house has a front yard and a big and grassy, back yard where we and our son, can’t wait to run and play with another little one. 

JAVIER

Javier is a perfect husband and an excellent father.  He loves to play with Gabriel and has a very nice sense of humor. He loves to fix just about everything and to work on home projects.  He loves listening to music, singing, dancing, and traveling.  Next to his wife and son, his job is very important to him.  He works with wonderful people for a developer/contractor.  He likes to be sensitive and kind to everyone and help people when they need it.

CLEMENCIA

Clemencia was raised in Colombia, South America in a large home filled with her parents, two sisters, and one brother.  Her grandparents and cousins were a big part of her childhood.  All of her family has a great sense of humor and there was a lot of clowning around.  She has a passion for music and as a child she learned to play the guitar. She loves to be a home mom, and is very dedicated to her son. She wants to share with another child, her dedication, sense of humor and passion for music.

PARENTING

We plan to raise our children like we were raised, with tons of love, fun, encouragement, understanding, fairness, patience, and lots of hugs and kisses.  Our goal is to help our child grow to be a respectable, independent adult.  We know there will be challenges but are confident we can handle them.  We believe that discipline is important but in a loving and caring way.  We plan to spend with our child as much time as possible.  We are practicing Catholics and have a very special and strong relationship with God, and want to raise our child to share the important values we have learned.

You have seen a little glimpse of our lives, but we are sure that you now have an idea about the tremendous amount of love we have to give to a child.  We would want you to know how honored we would be for you to chose us as the family who will love your baby.  We will be forever grateful.  Most important of all, we want you to know that the little one who comes into our life will be always told of his/her special legacy and the incredible woman who give him/her life, and made our family complete.
