Despite the denial of many people about the possibility that same-sex couples can adopt, stories like the following are a hug to the heart for those of us who are in favor of it being a human right for all, without distinction of any kind.
The emotional story begins in Salta, Argentina, where, through an article in the newspaper Clarion, a group of six infants requested that they wish to be adopted but without being separated. The biological siblings, made up of two boys aged eight and 12, two girls aged seven and 11 and two twins aged ten, expressed their will knowing that their request would make it more difficult for them to be welcomed by a family.
Against all odds, they sent their wish to all corners of Argentina, thus making more than 100 couples interested in taking them to a new home. After a meticulous process of interviews and visits from social workers, Víctor Sajoza, 52, and his partner, Jorge Elías, 53, adopted the group of children who will now be able to grow up surrounded by lots of love, without having to separate.
The couple, originally from Córdoba, Argentina, had been looking for options to become parents for some time, they had contemplated international adoption and even renting a womb, but this changed when they saw the announcement of the minors, with which they decided to do the paperwork, exams and other requirements to become the lucky parents.
Before getting together forever, the new guardians shared a weekend with their future children, which was enough to form a brotherly bond between them. In fact, the connection was so strong that, according to the children’s psychologist, they became uneasy when they separated from their future parents.
When they had to say goodbye to their marriage, they went through a moment of great anguish, because they have the idea that adults appear and disappear. And they felt great when they started receiving video calls from them.
With joy, we note that the six little ones were able to fulfill their wish due to Víctor and Jorge, who are more than happy to welcome them into their lives after some years of uncertainty and difficulties.
