Hello, our names are Michelle and Roberto (“Chito”). We met in graduate school twenty years ago, started dating shortly after, and have been married since 2015. We share a beautiful life together with our two French Bulldogs (Toki and Xolo), who are incredibly gentle, snuggly, goofy, and playful.
We own a house in Phoenix with a big backyard and swimming pool in a safe, walkable neighborhood, where everyone knows and looks out for each other, next to our favorite restaurants, coffee shops, parks, and museums. We believe the best thing about any home is the people that fill it, and love having our family, friends, and their kids over to BBQ, hang out, and play.
We enjoy eating together, being outdoors, traveling, reading, and going to Phoenix Suns games. We have a lot of family nearby, including our parents and two goddaughters. We are aunts and uncles to all our friends’ children (who call us “Auntie Chelle” and “Uncle Chito”), who are eager to welcome and love on our future child.
Michelle is warm, loving, outgoing, affectionate, and gives the best hugs. She is a natural caretaker, a mother to many, and every baby and child is drawn to her.
Chito is calm, witty, observant, athletic, and charming. While he can be shy at first, once he opens up, he is funny, talkative, and warm.
We have both dedicated our lives to helping others and spend a lot of time mentoring and volunteering. Adoption is always something we wanted for our family, and after trying to have a baby for so many years, would be blessed to grow our family this way!
