Hello!

First, we want to thank you for taking the time to view our profile and learn about us. We admire your courage, strength, and love in considering adoption for your child. We cannot begin to imagine the depth of the emotions and decisions you are facing, but we are truly honored that you are considering us as potential adoptive parents for your baby. Let us introduce ourselves. We are teachers, lifelong learners, and for us, becoming parents has always been a dream rooted in love, hope, and the joy of creating a family. Our home is filled with laughter, fun, love and a deep commitment to supporting and nurturing one another. We have been together since we were teenagers and married for 20 years. We always wanted a family, but found out we are unable to have our own children biologically. It was devastating, and a long journey but it lead us here. What we wish to offer your child is a life of unconditional love, endless opportunities, and unwavering support. From celebrating every milestone to comforting them during hard times, we promise to be there every step of the way. Education, adventure, and a safe, happy home are at the center of what we envision for their future. If you choose us, your child will grow up surrounded by loving friends, aunts, and uncles. They will have a loving grandmother and stepfather, and two big, playful dogs. We will celebrate all of the holidays, take trips to Disneyland, and have family movie nights. We will celebrate their unique gifts, honor their identity, and ensure they know about the incredible love and bravery that brought them into our family. We want you to know that we deeply respect and value your role in your child’s life. You will always hold a special place in our hearts and theirs, and we are open to discussing how we can honor that connection in a way that feels right for you. Thank you for considering us and for taking this time to learn about our family. Whatever decision you make, please know that we are thinking of you and your baby with compassion and respect.
