Hello! I’m Marvin from Pasadena, California. I’m deeply appreciative of your time and the decision you are making. It is your love and bravery that will make it possible for one of my biggest dreams to come true. Thank you for your consideration!

I’ve spent the last few years focusing on and traveling for my career and I feel prepared to now shift my focus on becoming a parent. With all the love I have in me to give, I believe adoption will provide the best opportunity for me to manifest it. My hope is that the home I create will provide an environment for your child to thrive and inspire them to be caring, tolerant, and courageous.

Whether or not our paths will cross, I’m grateful for the chance to share a piece of my story with you. I understand the flurry of emotions running through your whole mind and body, but I hope that this profile offers you a closer glimpse of a loving parent and a home that is deserving of a family.

I always wanted to be a parent and as a single male, adoption is the best choice for me. Although I’ll be a single parent, I won’t be alone! I have the continuous and ever-growing support of my family and friends. As the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child, and I believe I have the best around me.

I was born in Los Angeles and grew up in the San Fernando Valley with my parents, and my brothers, Marcos and Jean Carlo. Five years ago, I purchased my first home and moved to Pasadena, California.

I grew up with a passion for entertainment and the performing arts. I love watching films and listening to music. I attended and graduated from Cal State Northridge, where I received my degree in Film and TV. I landed a job at ABC Disney and have been there for the past 13 years. I enjoy being a part of many of their television shows and my career has afforded me many opportunities to travel and live in some great locations.

Keeping an active and healthy lifestyle is very important to me and I enjoy running and hiking outdoors. Although I didn’t play any sports as a child, I enjoy watching and attending games of all the Los Angeles sporting teams, including the Rams, Dodgers, Kings and my favorite, the Lakers.

I live in a beautiful and quaint neighborhood of Pasadena, California. I have a 2-bedroom house, with an extremely spacious backyard. The backyard is currently a blank canvas, but I plan to add some great features such as an outdoor kitchen, a vegetable garden and a playset.

I’m a short walk away from the Rose Bowl Stadium (15 minutes), as well as the Kidspace Museum, Brookside Park, and both an Elementary and High School. Old Town Pasadena, which has plenty of shops and restaurants, is also a short drive from my house.

My family lives all around the Los Angeles area, and we do not go more than 2 weeks without seeing each other.

My parents, alongside my younger brother, Jean Carlo, live in Panorama City, which is about 20 minutes from me. My older brother, Marcos, and his family live in Carson, about a 40-minute drive from my home. Marcos has 2 boys (my nephews) named Jonathan, 15, and Giovanni, 12. We all grew up speaking Spanish at home, and as a fluent speaker, I am very excited to raise a bilingual child.

I also have a close group of friends, who all live close by and have children that I adore. I’m looking forward to having many play dates and starting many new traditions with them. My friends are very important to me, and I consider them to be an extension of my family.

“I have known Marvin for over 20 years. We first met in high school and have been close friends ever since. He is kind and compassionate, with a clear sense of direction and purpose. Marvin has spent countless hours with my children (3 and 5). He plays with them, reads to them, and has shown great kindness and patience while spending time with them. I trust him wholeheartedly with their care, and I believe he would make an excellent parent himself.”
- Jasmine (Best Friend)

“Marvin is very patient, kind and responsible. He is a role model, he is honest, self-reliant, and cheerful. Because of these wonderful qualities and traits, he can provide an atmosphere of love, acceptance and empathy to any child.”
- Jo (Friend & Colleague)

Thank you for taking the time to learn about me! I’m extremely excited to become a parent and my road to parenthood begins here. Although this is only a brief introduction to the person I am, I look forward to the opportunity to learn more about you. I will make sure to deliver on the promise of unconditional love and support, so that I may provide the best possible future for your child. I would be incredibly honored to be part of this journey with you.

Marvin
