ELENA & VINCENT · OUR ADOPTION STORY
A little window
into our world.
Two people. A life full of love.
And a chapter we hope to share.
A LITTLE CLOSER
Every story starts
with getting to know you.
Two people, two dogs, and a life in Phoenix. We’re hoping to grow our family through adoption.
Read our adoption bookVincent works in government IT and builds software. He loves technology, science, and video games. Away from a screen, he loves trying new food, cooking with Elena, and seeing new places together.
OUR FAMILY & FRIENDS
A whole circle
of love.
The people beside us. The moments we share. The love we hope to pass on.
From celebrations to a quiet afternoon together, these are the people who make our life feel full.
THE EVERYDAY MAGIC
Home is in
the little things.
Something baking. Two dogs underfoot. New places to explore. Take a peek at whichever part of our life feels interesting to you.
Three little windows into our life
Tamales & time together
Making tamales with family is a Mexican tradition Vincent grew up with. Now it is part of the life we share.
The holidays are a big deal here
We love Christmas, and our neighborhood does too. Each year, homes fill with bright lights for a holiday contest. On Halloween, hundreds of kids come out to trick-or-treat. We hope to share all of that fun with a child.
Good food. Good company.
We both love to cook, and Elena loves to bake. Trying new food is also part of the fun when we travel.
THE LIFE IN BETWEEN
A few moments.
A whole lot of us.
The dressed-up days. The everyday days. Our favorite kind of together.

A FEW VERY SALGADO DAYDREAMS
A little ahead
of ourselves.
Too many snacks. Dogs in all the good seats. Vince turning a small project into a huge building job.
We dream about small days, big moments, and a child to share them with.
