Born not to our flesh, but born into our hearts

It has been a fabulous journey since our grandson Mathias was born in Mexico. We knew it since he was a little kid that he will hold a very special place in our hearts, through the years that he was growing up and us (grandparents) visiting family in our hometown he will spent time with us  just being so happy and enjoying gifts that we were brought up to him and of course getting some kind of spoiled by grandma.  By then his parents were having problems  at the point they got separated and his mother left him with his father which he grew up without a mother figure but some how Grandma was there for him playing a big roll in his life.  Years went by for us as a grandparents and for our grandson Mathias, our hearts were broken every time we visited him, he used to tell us "take me with you" take me with you" but we couldn't do it we were working getting busy with our obligations here in the US.  My husband and I talked about it many times, also we talked with his father we knew that if we adopted him as a kid he was going to have more physiological probles getting him away from the only world hi knew, and that was his father. So we and his father decided that he was going to be adopted later on when he was ready and mature to know and undertastand the transition coming to this beautiful Country to have a better life and have all the opportunities that our own Country can't offer him.  Now more than ever he needs our help, guidance and better future, unfortunately Mexico doesn't offer much to the young people they confront significant challenges such poverty conditions, unequal educational qualityand accessibility and the most latent problem the violence by the organized crime , sometimes forcing the young adults to be recruited under threats against them of family members.  We are hoping that Mathias gets the opportunity of his life and he can be adopted for us , coming to this Country and be loved and have the loving family that he never had, but we are pretty sure that with Adoption Bridge support we will be able to fulfill his dream to be adopted and come to this beautiful Country.

My husband  and I we are very thrilled and thankful for your generosity.
