Maximo was born in January 2005, but did not come home to us until January 2006, just a few days shy of his first birthday. Our life with him has been pure joy. He is an exceptionally bright, loving, and energetic young boy. He truly is the light of our lives.
Early in 2008, we re-examined living in the Bay Area, and knew that adopting a second child might heavily influence where we could afford to live. After completing grad school, we decided to begin the process of adopting baby number two. Guatemala was no longer an option since the U.S./Guatemala adoption process has been shut down. We signed with an adoption facilitator in northern California, but shortly thereafter we moved to Madison, Wisconsin to be closer to my (Steve's) family. We both took positions at the University of Wisconsin.
