More About Mike
I was born on the outskirts of Chicago, Illinois, but I spent most of my childhood in Jacksonville, Florida. My early education was at a trade school where I learned the air conditioning trade, following in my grandfather’s footsteps. I also ventured into the restaurant business, working at Ruby Tuesday’s where I honed my culinary skills and learned the ins and outs of the industry. My career path led me to become a journeyman mechanic, specializing in tractor-trailer refrigeration and large ammonia systems. This experience paved the way for a job opportunity in Melbourne, Florida, where I worked in apartment maintenance, acquiring and refining a wide range of skills. During this period, I discovered a passion for martial arts and trained in Taekwondo for nearly two decades. After my stint in apartment maintenance, I bought a small air conditioning company. Since 1993, I’ve been a self-employed entrepreneur in Melbourne, Florida, and even expanded my business to include multiple service trucks. Although I later sold the company to my partner, I continue to service many local restaurants and customers. In 2019, I opened a local gym franchise, which, unfortunately, had to close due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite this setback, the experience enriched my entrepreneurial journey. In addition to my professional endeavors, I also pursued my dream of becoming a private pilot. I owned and flew my plane for about 13 years, until 2019, a period that I consider one of the most exhilarating of my life. I also had a serious interest in weightlifting for a while. Beyond work and hobbies, I love to travel, cook, exercise, and spend quality time with my friends. I thrive on meeting new people and look forward to engaging with you.
 
More About Katy

Hello, I’m Katy, with a life story that’s been filled with unexpected turns and rich experiences, and I’m reaching out to you today with a heartfelt message. Hailing from the beautiful town of Pasco, Peru, I embarked on a life-changing journey after high school that led me from a bustling capital city to sunny Florida, where I now call home.

My love for problem-solving inspired me to earn a degree in Industrial Engineering, leading to a decade of significant contributions to my country’s infrastructure. But the most unexpected twist in my story came in 2020. A planned 15-day trip to Florida became an extended six-month stay due to a nationwide airport shutdown. During that time, I met my loving husband, Mike. That unexpected detour in my life’s path has shaped me into the person I am today, and it is with the knowledge gained from these experiences that I write to you.

While I am dedicated to my work, I balance my life with hobbies that bring me joy, such as cycling, practicing yoga, caring for my plants, baking delectable desserts, and exploring new places. My family in Peru – my parents and three siblings – are a strong part of my life, and they’ve always been a source of support and love.

Life can be unpredictable, full of surprises and opportunities. Just as I was unexpectedly given the chance to start a new life in Florida, you now find yourself facing an unexpected decision. It’s not easy, but I want you to know you’re not alone. Each one of us has unique circumstances, dreams, and plans, and sometimes, the journey might lead us to consider adoption for our child. And it’s okay.

Choosing adoption can be an act of profound love, a decision made to give your child a life filled with opportunities, stability, and care. It doesn’t diminish the love you have for your child; instead, it magnifies it, revealing your courage and your selflessness. It’s not about ‘giving up’; it’s about ‘giving more’ – more opportunities, more love, and more life to your child.

As you navigate this challenging time, remember to consider all your options, reach out to supportive communities, and make the decision that feels right for you and your child. After all, life’s unexpected detours often lead to the most beautiful destinations. It has for me.
