Hello!

Welcome to my profile! I’m Jamie, a scientist in my mid-30s living near Washington, DC, and I am excited to start a family via adoption. I plan to raise a child with my strongest values: care for others, love for oneself as you are, lifelong joy in learning, and appreciation for quality baked goods. Growing up, my parents made the world a better place by opening a bakery and making delicious food. I also want to make the world a better place, that’s why I became a scientist! And that’s why I want to provide a family for a kid who needs one. Since I have so much love to share, I’d like to adopt a child who I can raise with unconditional love and support. I have a great network of friends in DC and family only a few hours away, and I feel ready to bring a child into my life. I know you are facing a difficult choice right now, so I wish you all the strength and wisdom you might need.

Luna only has one eye but lots of love!

Family vacation! This is most of the crew

My best friend would describe me as...

kind, determined, and compassionate.

My philosophy on parenting is...

Nothing is more important than love! I aim to make sure my child always knows they are loved.

-Jamie

Favorite season and why?

I love springtime in DC when my garden starts to bloom!

-Jamie

My favorite place in the World is...

my parent's bakery. There's nothing like the smell of bread fresh out of the oven.

Visiting a farm with my nephew! He was very brave around the big horses!

officiating my best friend's wedding. Once the ring bearer was done with his job he decided to chill out right up front!

Do I have kids? How do they feel about a sibling?

No kids yet, though I would love to eventually have two.

-Jamie

What is the best word to describe our family?

Teamwork!

-Jamie

My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

it's full of diverse families, parks and playgrounds, and really excellent Ethiopian restaurants.

-Jamie

Complete the sentence, “I can’t live without……”

Music! Music to dance to, music to sing to, all kinds of music!

-Jamie

Dogs or cats?

I grew up with both dogs and cats, and I love them both! But my cat, Luna, has won my heart. She's lived with me for more than 10 years now and we have built lovely routines together. She sits with me on the balcony every morning while I eat breakfast. She keeps an eye on me from the couch while I work from home. After dinner we usually play with her favorite fishing pole toy, and then she likes to snuggle close in my bed at night. It's hard to imagine life without a fuzzy friend in the house!
