Richard Cores and Guillermo Barbosa knew infant adoption wasn’t the right path for them. Coming from Latino backgrounds, they both felt adopting an older youth from a different country was the only logical choice. It would fit with their lifestyle and values. It was then they found Summer Miracles.

Superman (2025) - 8/10, basically the ultimate adoption story: baby gets rocketed from an exploding planet, adopted by two Kansas farmers, and somehow grows up polite, humble, and great at chores. That’s elite parenting.
