We’re Linh and Derek - we love the outdoors, travel, and finding all the little ways to keep life spontaneous and fun. Thanks for taking the time to learn about us! We’re excited to grow our family and share all of these values, passions, and experiences with a child. Adoption is a complex, but beautiful way to grow our family and we're excited to see what the future holds. We’ve been fortunate to have good friends who were adopted and grew up with an incredibly strong relationship with their adoptive parents. Learning from them and seeing how well adoption can work has been inspirational to us, and has made us excited for this opportunity. We’d prefer an open adoption with opportunities to share pictures, letters, and potential visits as we know from those friends how important those opportunities can be. We'd love the opportunity to give your child a warm and supportive home filled with fun, learning, adventure and love.

I'm super competitive when it comes to...

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?
"How lucky I am to witness this beautiful sight!"
-Linh
My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…
Most neighbors have lived there for a long time, and they always offer a smile or hello when passing us on the street. Several best graded schools are within walking distance, and several beautiful and historic sights to see.

Dogs or cats?
While we both love animals, we don't have either. If we had to choose we'd choose cats though.
-Linh
What scares you?
I do feel that a lot of life is a series of random events and most of them is out of our control. However, I've learned to live and focus more in the moment and try my best with everything I got, and let the future unfolds itself. That way, I can reduce anxiety or fear of tomorrow and focus on what's important today.
-Linh
Do I have kids? How do they feel about a sibling?
We don't have any kid, but if we were so blessed to become parents for multiple children, we couldn't be happier. Both of us are only children, and while we had incredible close bond with cousins, we wish for our child to experience the childhood with sibling as they can play, learn, teach and protect each others.
-Linh
Being outdoor makes us happy!
In five years our relationship with our child’s birth mother will…
Open and welcoming, with opportunities to share pictures, letters, and potential visits as we know how important those opportunities can be for the child.
