My wife, Gladys Mendez-Sauza, and I always knew we wanted to adopt. It was a dream we shared for many years, and in 2015 we officially decided to begin the adoption process. As we researched our options, we came across Holy Family Services and immediately fell in love with their mission and the way they support families.
We chose to move forward with HFS and began working with our social worker, Lisa Espericueta, who guided us through every step. In 2018, we were blessed with our first son, Julian. He has brought us so much joy, and it has been amazing to watch him grow over the years.
A few years later, we began to consider adopting a second child. As soon as we started talking about next steps, we knew that if we moved forward, Holy Family Services would be our first call. We reached out to Julie Brown and Lisa Espericueta, and they were both thrilled at the chance to support us again. Building on our previous experience with them felt familiar and reassuring. They were attentive to our needs and kept us informed at every stage of the process.
With their help, we welcomed our second son, Mateo, into our family this year, and we couldn’t be happier to say we are now a family of four! We are forever grateful to Holy Family Services for their support, genuine care, and professionalism in serving families like ours.
