Hello!

Hello, we are Andrew and Kate! Thank you for taking the time to look through our profile and learn more about us as a family. We desire so much to be parents and often daydream about what we will do as a family and how we will raise a child. We want to take a moment to say thank you for considering an adoption plan. Choosing adoption is no easy task, but you are loving and brave, and whatever decision you come to will be the right one for you and the child. We eagerly anticipate becoming parents, and the baby who joins our family will have everything we can offer – unconditional love and acceptance, a judgment-free home where we value individuality and uniqueness, access to a great education, and an abundance of extended family and friends to support them. We hope to one day meet you and stay in contact throughout the child’s life, but regardless of the level of openness you prefer, we will ensure that the child knows the loving choice their birth family made so that they could have a life with our family.
