You have adopted 3 children: 2 boys and one girl. They are all siblings, and they are from Mexico. The oldest is a boy of 15 years named Fidel César Quirós. He likes to write, particularly fantasy and wants to be a writer someday. He also has Down Syndrome, but I hope that you can help with that. The second child, the girl, is 12 years old. Her name is Guadalupe "Lupe" Dulce Quirós. She likes photography, and has more than one camera, depending on when, where, and what she's taking pictures of. She idolizes her older brother, and lets him use some of her photographs for his stories. Lupe's very protective of her photography gear; she treats it like gold. Finally, there's the youngest sibling: 7-year-old Pascual Rómulo Quirós. He likes movies. REALLY likes movies. All sorts of movies too, all genres, all formats, all time periods. He wants to make his own movies someday, and likes using Lupe's video camera to do something similar. He also likes talking about them, too. I hope that you enjoy keeping these 3 children, and please keep me updated!

These three children have been a wonderful addition to our family. We are all working towards becoming bilingual in English and Spanish. We are working very closely with Fidel’s teachers and doctors to make sure we are doing the best we can for him. They have brought so much creativity to our home. We got Pascual his own video camera and our dog Winslow and cat Phoebe have become quite the movie stars. However, if it is an action or superhero movie, than Levi is more than happy to be the star. Sometimes the younger boys make movies of Fidel’s stories and Fidel is always really excited to see the films and help direct. It turns out that Gwen loves the camera. She now wants to be a model and will take any chance to be the subject of Lupe’s pictures, often begging Lupe to take pictures of her in every outfit she owns. She still lets Fidel use her photos in his stories and helps the boys with their movies. Gwen is always out there during a film shoot just hoping for any camera time they will give her. We have started a YouTube channel to talk about adoption, but mostly as a place for us to keep all the home movies we have been making. Our extended family loves to be able to see the kids’ films.
