He's "fun, kind, and loving." He gets up saying "I love you" and giving out kisses. He handles frustration badly and "is the town's mayor" because "he greets everyone on the street." Aina will be two. She's "smiling, independent, always in a good mood, and sleeps well at night." In short, "she's come to enjoy life." Rosa "has a lot of vitality and character, a sweet baby." Her adoptive parents proudly describe them. Andrés and Alberto are Álex's parents; Miguel is Aina's; and Marta is Rosa's mother. They have been deemed suitable by the Mallorcan Institute of Social Affairs (IMAS) of the Consell de Mallorca (Mallorcan Institute of Social Affairs) after completing training and interviews with all the necessary guarantees for minors. "We look for the best families for the children, not children for the families. They are the ones who have the right to be adopted, as a protective measure. And it shouldn't necessarily be as long a process as people think. We try to make it as quick as possible, but always taking into account the child's time and needs," explains Apol lònia Socias, Island Director of Services.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>This is as good news as it is significant. In Mallorca, adoptions of children by homosexuals now exceed those of heterosexuals, as our colleague Marcos Torío informs us in a magnificent snapshot of what adoption is like today and here. And if it's such good news, it's because it speaks to a society that is advancing in rights and normalizing family diversity. A society that has normalized the rights of all people to love, care for, educate, and form a family, if they want and can.</p>]]></description>
