Bill and Priscila met in graduate school during Priscila’s second week in the United States as a visiting student from Brazil. After dating for awhile, Bill tried to propose to Priscila in Portuguese. He mangled the translation, but she understood the ring, and they’ve been happily married since 2004. In 2008, Bill and Priscila adopted their son, Thomas through A Child’s Hope.
They like to play at parks and playgrounds, go to museums and swim at the nearby pool. They also enjoy reading and listening to music together. Thomas speaks both English and Portuguese and sometimes translates sentences into Portuguese if his Brazilian grandmother doesn’t understand!
Bill and Priscila can’t wait to add one more member to the family, and Thomas is ready to share his parents with a brother or sister who will join his forever family through adoption. They will also be our featured waiting adoptive family of the week this Saturday. Click here to see their complete web site.
