Hello! We are Nana & Vic from Costa Mesa, California. A heartfelt thank you for joining us on this emotional journey! Imagine we’re all part of a big DIY project, where each of us adds something special to make our lives, and the life of a little angel, colorful and unique. Your presence is like the final touch that turns our journey into a beautiful work of art. We really hope our family story, created together with love and care, becomes a special part of our ongoing journey. Your thoughtful consideration means the world to us, and we’re truly grateful to you.

For thirteen amazing years, we’ve been together, walking hand in hand through the journey of marriage. Five years ago, we made the decision to adopt. In getting ready, we poured our hearts into our home, remodeling and creating a peaceful space for our future little one. We also took lots of parenting courses to learn the skills needed, hoping to become the best adoptive parents we can be one day.

Our hope is for you to get to know us and to give you comfort knowing that your child will receive unconditional support, and be loved to an eternity.

We connected online and decided to meet on New Year's Eve. When we met just before midnight, it felt like pure magic, especially because we were both wearing matching silver and black outfits. Jokingly, we took it as a sign to get married right then and there. The strong connection we felt encouraged us to keep dating. As we spent more time together, our bond deepened, and every moment seemed to confirm our decisions. We did something unconventional and spontaneous; after dating for only two weeks, we decided to tie the knot at a Vegas Chapel. Without a ring, we used one of her favorite green-colored rings, making the ceremony at the Chapel one of our cherished and special moments that only the two of us share. A year later, we had a big traditional Armenian wedding. Recently, we celebrated our 13th anniversary, cherishing all the years of love and growth together.

I arrived in the United States at the age of 15 with my mother, sister, and brother, leaving Georgia (Country) behind. Since I was young, I’ve always wanted to make my mom proud. I worked hard in school and earned my Bachelor’s degree from UCLA, and later my Master’s from Pepperdine University. Besides studying, I found out I love fixing up old furniture, painting, and giving old items a new life. That’s how I got into home staging as a job. One of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had was going to Armenia to fix up a rundown orphanage. It was amazing to see how much my design helped change the lives of the kids staying at the orphanage. They had broken bedding, a run-down play area, and no food preparation space. Not only did the renovations make the place more comfortable, but they also gave the kids hope and dignity. Helping out at the local animal shelter is another thing I love. I get to spend time with animals and take dogs for walks. For me, it’s all about making a difference, whether it’s through design or caring for animals.

What I admire most about Nana is her creative mind, unwavering support, and contagious smile that brightens everyone’s day. Your child will have a mentor who not only encourages their individuality but also helps them see the amazing beauty in the world.

Nana will always be there for your child, offering steady support, kindness, and lots of love.

I’m the youngest of seven siblings, with three brothers and three sisters. Growing up in Armenia, I was the playful troublemaker, known for stirring up mischief. At 18, I brought my lively spirit to the Army. During my service, a chance encounter with an American consulate sparked the idea of moving to the USA. Fast forward 25 years, and I’ve made quite a splash in the car washing scene. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills and built a successful business, conveniently located just 15 minutes from home. In my downtime, I’m all about TV nights at home, tending to our garden, and exploring our beachside neighborhood. Weekends are dedicated to family, friends, going on walks or joining Nana on fun yard sale adventures. And when I need some laid-back moments, you’ll find me strumming the guitar, playing the piano, or jamming on the drums.

Vic is hands down the hardest working man I know, and I couldn’t be prouder of all he’s achieved. From his humble beginnings, he’s now rocking it as one of the best car wash dealerships in Orange County. What sets Vic apart is his sense of duty, loyalty that runs deep, killer leadership skills, and the kind of motivation that inspires everyone around him.

But let’s not forget the fun stuff – Vic’s got a wicked sense of humor that’ll have you in stitches, a heart full of love, and a supportive nature that’s second to none. Add in a dash of friendly competition, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for an awesome dad.

Vic’s the real deal, and I have no doubt he’ll be the most loving, supportive, and downright inspiring father out there.

Our home is nestled in the coastal serenity of Costa Mesa, California. Our garden has various fruit trees, a vegetable garden, a BBQ seating area, and a play area for the kids. Conveniently, our house is just a 5-minute walk away from both an elementary and high school, and a mere 5-minute drive from the beach. We eagerly anticipate welcoming a little one to join us on beach visits and picnics. Additionally, we hope to adopt a furry friend from our local animal shelter once a little one is old enough to join us in searching for their best friend. Nana’s secret dream is that the little one will want to fill the house with dogs, cats, chicks, turtles, birds, hamsters, and whatever else their heart desires.

Nana’s immediate family consists of her parents, Valia and Sam, along with her siblings, Lilit and Arthur. As a family, we enjoy frequent game nights, outdoor activities, and gathering for BBQ meals. Lilit, nicknamed “Mountain Goat,” belongs to a hiking group and travels worldwide to conquer various high point mountains. Arthur, the fun uncle, is known for his humor, and extreme patience with all the kids in the family. Nana’s family holds strong traditions, particularly during Christmas and Easter. They are excited about welcoming a new little one into the family and are very supportive of our plans to adopt!

Nana is very close to all the females in her family, so much so that they’ve formed a group called the “Women’s Brigade,” consisting of 10 tightly bonded members.

They love to travel together, exploring destinations domestically or internationally at least 2 to 3 times a year. Their adventures have taken them to Dubai, Egypt, Armenia, Cancun, and various states in the USA. On their bucket list are destinations like Texas, Colorado, Greece, Japan, and South Korea.

Vic’s immediate family includes three brothers and three sisters, with over 20 nieces and nephews. Sadly, both his parents are no longer with us, but they watch over us from heaven. Vic’s brothers own car wash businesses around Los Angeles city, while his sisters are the culinary wizards of the family. When we gather, get ready for a feast because it’s a full-on cookfest. His nieces have even been featured in the Los Angeles Times and the news for their impressive cooking skills. Our time together is usually filled with delicious food and dancing. They are eagerly anticipating the start of our family and to provide us a wonderful support system, especially in the realm of food!

We thank you for considering us and honor the adoption process. We will always highlight the beauty of this gift and wish you support and peace in your decisions. Our promise is to love your child unconditionally, filling our home with smiles, laughter, goodness, compassion, and kindness every day. Your child will always know and feel the love you have for them in our home. Thank you for getting to know us, and we hope to be the parents to your sweet child. We appreciate your courage in making this selfless choice. We’re grateful for the potential opportunity to be your child’s adoptive parents.
