A Letter from Oreste & Catherina
Hello from Georgia! We promise to provide a happy home, loving big brother, and a supportive family for your child to thrive in. Catherina is a first grade teacher and Oreste works from home, so our work schedules easily accommodate family time. We value education, faith, and relationships with loved ones.
We would be honored to adopt a boy or girl of any racial background, and look forward to having another child in our lives to love and nurture. If you’d like, we would enjoy sharing an open adoption with you! We would love to get to know you and the wishes you have for your child’s future.

Esperamos hacer crecer nuestra familia a través de la adopción. ¡Nos encantaría hablar contigo!
About Us
We have been married over 10 happy years and love being mom and dad to our son, Sebastian. We haven’t been able to have more children biologically, and we feel like we’ve been called to adopt our next child.
Together we love:
• Cooking meals
• Road trips
• Dinner at the table each night
• Yoga
• Attending church as a family
• Running our business
About Oreste
Oreste is a loving, kind, and supportive husband and father. He is the foundation of our family and brings everyone together with his caring personality. He is always making Sebastian and I laugh!
Oreste works from home as an insurance professional. Outside of work, he spends a lot of his time serving our church’s Youth Ministry, planning events, leading the events, and helping the kids. He is so patient and thoughtful with our son and I am excited to watch him be a father to your child.

Our Home in Georgia
Our 4 bedroom home is in a lovely location in Georgia. We have a fenced in backyard, family friendly neighbors, playgrounds, and a lot of close activities that we like to do as a family. Our home has plenty of space for our children to grow and play, and we have started to set up a nursery for our next little one.
Pets: We have a dog named Oliver, who is great with children and loves playing with Sebastian.
Our Family
Our son, Sebastian, is almost 10 years old. He is a lot like Oreste in how he is so smart and fun to be around! He is passionate, loving, outgoing, and will be a loving big brother! He is excited to share his passions with your child and teach them the ropes.
Extended Family: We stay close with our families and get together as often as possible. We love traveling a couple times a year, to places like New York and Georgia, to see our families for the holidays. They are all so excited about our plans to adopt!
Our Promise
We promise to provide your child with a life full of love, laughter, and encouragement. We will make sure your child grows up with an excellent education and a faith-filled home. Our home will be a safe, secure, and supportive space for your child to grow into the person he or she is meant to be.
We look forward to speaking with you and hearing the hopes you have for your child. We are open to sharing contact after the adoption, if you’d like, such as with letters, photos, and visits. To learn more about us, please call or text Lifetime at 1.800.923.6784.
Very thoughtfully, Oreste & Catherina
