Hi, We’re Mike and Melissa and are hoping to adopt a child. We admire your selflessness and courage during this time. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us, and what kind of life, love, and opportunities we would provide for your child. We have a daughter that we adopted and truly understand the trust support and compassion you may want or need during this time. We would appreciate you reaching out to us for a chat any time. If you would like to email us: melissaannbevilacqua@gmail.com Mike and I have been married for ten years, and have a very strong and stable life together. We always enjoyed traveling together, and love planning fun family vacations. We live in a very safe and family oriented community in a suburban area. Mike works full time in management at a utility company and I am a full time stay at home mom. I have an associates degree in early childhood education and used to work in healthcare as a supervisor, prior to that I was a teachers assistant for a private Pre-School. We have one child, our beautiful daughter who is now four years old. She is so happy and thriving. Arianna just started Pre-K and can’t wait to one day become a loving big sister. We would all love to grow our family through adoption once again. We hope to share our hearts home and lives with another child, and create an amazing life for them like we are now doing with our amazing daughter. We cherish every moment as parents, especially since we experienced infertility issues in the past. We would be so thankful to become parents through adoption again. We have a very supportive fun and loving extended family, who we see often. We all enjoy spending time together during family dinners holidays and adventures. They can not wait for us to have another child in the family to love and adore. Our friends and family always say how amazing we are doing as parents, and are hoping we do get to adopt again. They know how happy it would make us to fulfill this dream for our family and what a wonderful life we would ensure for a child. We can only imagine how difficult it is to find a family for your beloved child but we would be truly honored if you considered us. We promise that we would provide a safe stable home with endless love laughter and lots of opportunities for your child. Mike and I also appreciate you will have your own wishes and needs during this time, and promise to be here for you in whichever way you may want. Where ever your path may lead you we wish you well and thank you again for taking time to consider us.

My favorite place in the World is...

Disney World, everyone in the family can feel like a kid again. There is endless fun excitement and magical moments. We took our daughter this past 4th of July week and she loved it so much. our last day in Magic Kingdom she said “this was the best day ever!”. We are going back after Thanksgiving with our extended family this time!
