Dear Birthparents…

We are Alex and Debby and we thank you for considering us to be a forever family for your baby. Adoption is very close to our hearts as our daughter Lily was adopted from China in 2006.

In addition, I am also privileged to be asked by two dear friends to become Godmother to their children.

I am close to my family and was lucky to have had a wonderful upbringing. My parents have always been very supportive. My parents are excited at the thought of becoming grandparents, and my sister to be an aunt.

Dear Birth Family,

Our names are Angela and Daron. Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Right now you are trying to find the best fitting adoptive parents for your child. I’m sure this is a very difficult and emotional decision for you. Putting your child’s needs first is very admirable.

If it is any comfort please know that your child will be raised in a caring, loving and open environment.

We have been married for nine years. We always knew that we wanted children but unfortunately we were unable to accomplish this.

We know that we can give a child a wonderful life filled with love, family and happiness.

With love and respect,
Angela and Daron

Dear Birth parents,

My name is Deborah. To start, I want to thank you for taking some of your time to read my profile. I have put this together so you can learn about me, meet my family, and see if I am the person you feel can give your baby the wonderful life you desire for your child.

Sharing special moments

I would be happy to meet with you in person and answer any of your questions if that would help you to feel more comfortable with getting to know me. I am also open to the idea of sharing occasional updates and photos of your child as he or she grows, so you can see and hear firsthand how the baby is doing.

To be or not to be

I believe that the decision to become a parent, or not to, is one of the toughest decisions a family or individual can make in life. That is why I have such profound respect and gratitude to you for taking the time to get to know me (and my family) as the person that you would consider to raise your child!

Motherhood

I have a strong desire to become a mother and share my life with a child. I am dedicated to giving a child a wonderful life with many opportunities to learn and grow from. I am confident that I can give a child a loving, supportive home in which he or she can thrive. I can provide a child with my unconditional love, financial and emotional support, a quality education, and a safe, secure, love filled home. I will be there to guide this child throughout life and help them to become a self-confident person. I will be there to encourage my child to reach each goal they set out for.

About me:

I come from a large family, including four brothers. I was born in Canada, but grew up here, in the United States. We are a very close knit family. Throughout our childhood we were raised with strong family values and were taught the importance of supporting one another through life‟s trials and tribulations. One of the many adages my mother would often repeat to us growing up is that “the greatest worth we have on this earth is our worth to one another.” I truly believe in that with all my heart and try to live by her words in all areas of my life.

My mother was the „pillar‟ of our family, and was not only fully devoted to us as a mother, but taught us to be devoted to one another. We lost her four years ago, but her spirit, her wisdom, and love live on in all of us. She has given me strong family values and taught me unwavering maternal instincts.

Home

I live in a beautiful nice size apartment situated in family friendly neighborhood located in New York. My community is safe, friendly and ethnically diverse. Within my building, I have several neighbors with children whom I have befriended; we look ahead to our children having play dates one day. Being centrally located I am close to many beautiful parks, playgrounds, zoos, shopping, beaches, and pools. Living in New York also allows me to experience all fours seasons and enjoy many outdoor activities.

I welcome any chance to talk with you and answer any other questions you may have. If you would like to talk with me personally or have questions about me or adoption, a caring, knowledgeable member of “Adoption Alliance” can assist you. You can reach them toll free by calling
1-800-626-4324.

Thanks for considering me in your plans.

Warmly,
Deborah

Dear Birth Parents,

Thank you for the opportunity to introduce ourselves, we are Jamie and Eric.

We want you to know how much we admire and respect you for the difficult decision you have made, as well as for those that lie ahead. Your courageous decisions take a great deal of strength, unselfishness and love. We are hopeful that we can give you the love and support that you need during this time in your life. To give you a better idea of who we are, we have put this pamphlet together for you.

We are both fortunate to have wonderful families and we share similar outlooks on life. We have a strong marriage and both feel blessed to have met each other. Our marriage is based on lots of love, respect and honesty. We both believe that we are easy-going people and have an optimistic attitude toward life. Laughter is a key ingredient in our life and especially important in our marriage. Hard work and determination are other characteristics we share. Eric is on of three children and Jamie is one of two children. We both come from a very close and loving family and have a lot of wonderful memories.

We consider ourselves very fortunate that we both have career we love and enjoy. Jamie has enjoyed being an elementary school teacher for 21 years. Her second grade class and school community have been a real blessing. Being around children is what really motivates and excites Jamie each day! It has been an amazing career! She knows that education is a true gift helping form the future of many children. Jamie sees each child as a unique person and encourages individual talents and strengths. She looks beyond their face and sees inside their soul. She always has a ready smile, caring heart and a listening ear. Teaching is a lifelong journey! Jamie also loves to give back to her community. She enjoys volunteer work and always helps out in her community fund-raisers. Eric has had multiple careers. He started his career as a research scientist after completion of graduate school by entering the exciting world of pharmaceutical drug discovery trying to find cures for cancer, asthma and arthritis among other diseases. He then switched careers and worked for 7 years in Professional Baseball working his way through the Minor Leagues and knocked on the door of the Major Leagues. Finally, he is currently working in the field of Pharmaceutical Sales working with physicians in educating and treating patients affected with various diseases. Eric is an accomplished musician, playing classical and jazz music throughout college and graduate school. Jamie and Eric both enjoy creating a warm and loving environment in a lovely suburban area in New York State.

Our families are paramount to us. We enjoy being around our parents, family and friends. We are a hands-on aunt and uncle. We enjoy special outings and celebrations together. Whether it is a bowling and pizza night or a fun baseball game together, we always enjoy being together. We also both have many different family traditions from the Easter egg hunts to the multi generations Scandinavian Feast! We both feel that family traditions are very important and fun for everyone! Our families are very supportive of our decision to adopt. They couldn’t be happier and want to be a big part of our adoption process.

Your decision to consider adoption is a true act of love and something we greatly admire. You need to choose a family that you trust and is right for you. We understand the sacrifice you will be making and respect you for making it. More than anything, we would love to provide a loving, secure home for your child. We would cherish the opportunity to shower him or her with unconditional love and endless support. We feel it is important to parent a child rather than give birth to a child. We feel adoption is a wonderful alternative to becoming parents and would be the answers to our prayers. We hope that we could be the answer to your prayers as well.

Thank you again for considering us for the family of your baby.

With Sincere Love,

Jamie and Eric

Greg and Denise are hopeful adoptive parents waiting to adopt a baby. We would like to begin by stating that we are both ecstatic regarding the prospect of becoming adding another to our family someday soon. We want to give a happy home, an extended family, and love to your child.

If you are pregnant and considering placing your child for adoption, please read our Birth Parent Letter and family profile.

Dear Birthparent:

We would like to begin by expressing our true admiration for you and our desire is to help this difficult decision you are facing be an easier one. We want you to know what a special person we think you are for considering adoption and hope that God’s plan for your child includes us. This is a very exciting time for our family and we want to welcome you into our hearts and lives. This letter and photo album is just a short, brief glimpse into our lives, but we hope to show you how much love and dedication we have to offer your child.

About us
We met each other on a blind date almost ten years ago and it was truly “love at first sight.” We have built our relationship on love, trust, and most of all friendship.

We are best friends and love being parents. Today we live in beautiful Southern New Hampshire and are near Denise’s large family. We love New England and enjoy all of the seasons: Fall with vibrant colors on the trees, snow in the winter for Christmas, flowers blossoming in the spring, and warm summers at the beach.

Our home is right on the Massachusetts border, about 20 minutes from Denise’s mother and 30 minutes from her sister. Greg’s job allows him to work from home most of the time and commuting is usually a “walk downstairs”. It’s on a cul-de-sac where a child can ride a bike in safety and has a long driveway that is just waiting for a little red wagon to be pulled down it. There is also a large back yard (good for soccer balls or footballs) and an above ground pool. The home is about 45 minutes from Boston so we can easily enjoy a taste of the city whenever we want. Our new neighborhood is full of young children, and we cannot wait to add one more!

A little about Greg
Greg is employed as a marketing manager and has a flexible schedule with many days off each month; perfect for meeting the demands of fatherhood. Often he works from his home office and therefore is never late for dinner! Greg’s favorite activities include: “Daddy time” with the boys, reading, traveling, snow skiing, gardening, and date nights with Denise.

A little about Denise
Denise now works full time as a “stay at home mom” now that we have adopted Anthony and Phillip. Her favorite activities are cooking, traveling, shopping, collecting Longaberger baskets, and date nights with Greg. Denise loves children and started her career as a nanny before working in retail management.

Anthony & Phillip, our boys
We have two little boys, Anthony (four) and Phillip (three). Anthony is adventurous and energetic, and Phillip loves to laugh and smile. They are a team whether they are riding bikes on the driveway, playing on the swings, or playing ball with Daddy. Both Denise and Greg have siblings who are close to them in age and we hope that we can find them a little sister soon.

Things We Love To Do Together
We’re an adventurous couple who love to experience life but enjoy spending time with family the most. We have been so fortunate to go on many trips overseas, including Tahiti, Australia, and throughout Europe. However, now that we are parents our vacations are visits to the grandparents. We also never miss a chance to attend a dance recital for one of the nieces or a Little League or soccer game with a nephew, and can’t wait to do the same for our own children.

Our Families & Friends
We are proud to say that both of our families are very supportive of our decision to adopt Anthony and Phillip and are excited about the possibility of another “new addition” to the family.

Holidays are always spent with family and friends. Every spring we have a giant Easter egg hunt at Nana’s house (she has the biggest yard) and enjoy a traditional Easter Italian feast. The Fourth of July is extra special in New England. We celebrate at a family beach house with a BBQ and the kids get to stay up late to watch the fireworks over the harbor. Labor Day marks the end of summer with another party at Greg’s parents’ lake house and it kicks off the start of college football season. Falls are busy too – often at Thanksgiving we have over 30 people eating, and one table just for kids! Christmas is our favorite because Santa always makes an appearance (after eating his milk and cookies left the night before). The little kids are up early in their matching Christmas pajamas to see what treasures were left for them.

We would love to hear from you. Until then please take care of yourself and know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your baby.

With warmest regards,

Greg and Denise

John and Nicole are a hopeful adoptive parents waiting to adopt a baby. We would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves and tell you about our family. We are excited that you are taking some time to look through our adoption profile. We hope that you can see that we are prepared to give your child a great life with our endless love and support.

If you are pregnant and considering placing your child for adoption, please read our Birth Parent Letter and family profile.

Dear Birth parents,

Hi, we’re John, Nicole and John Paul.

A warm hello and greeting to you!

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves and tell you about our family. We are excited that you are taking some time to look through our adoption profile. We hope that you can see that we are prepared to give your child a great life with our endless love and support.

We have been praying for you and the baby and we look forward to the day when our paths cross. We can just imagine how difficult this decision must be for you. We want to express our utmost respect to you for the most loving choice to make an adoption plan for your child. We will provide our love, an encouraging home, a fulfilled life and a firm foundation in Christ to our children. We are open to sharing letter and photo updates with you, so you can see how your baby is growing. We have already experienced adoption when we welcomed our first son; it is a humbling experience and your gracious act of love is beyond words!

After we learned we were unable to get pregnant – the decision to grow our family via adoption was an easy one for us because we talked about the possibility of adoption even before we were married. We have a strong faith and know in our hearts that it was all in HIS plan for our family to be formed by adoption.

Our first Adoption Journey

Our son, John Paul, was born in Guatemala and is a delightful 4 year old boy. He cannot wait to have a sibling. We know he will be an awesome big brother; he is gentle,
sensitive and caring. He is always concerned if a little one gets hurt at the playground and will go to console them, give them a hug and help them. Many times while playing or singing, he will say “I am going to teach my baby brother or sister this!” He just can’t wait to be a big brother and has even been practicing holding a baby. John Paul is in kindergarten this year and he is absolutely thrilled about school. We think this is a perfect time to welcome our second child.

Talking about Adoption

We have shared our son’s adoption story with him since we brought him home at 6 months old. We believe it is especially important for him to know as much as he can
about his adoption story. Although he is still young, we want to provide open communication for him to ask questions and have a conversation about how God
brought him into our family. We plan to do the same with the next child God brings into our family. We want our children to view adoption as a positive loving act.

Family Fun

As a family, we do lots of fun things together. We visit parks, playgrounds, children’s museums, and aquariums to name a few. John Paul really enjoys seeing all of the animals. We like to travel internationally. We have been to Europe including Greece with our Church and England, Ireland, Scotland, France and Spain on one of John’s business trips. When John has business trips to Washington D.C., we like to visit with our friends and visit the Smithsonian. Our most recent family vacation was a trip to Walt Disney World. It was so much fun eating breakfast with the characters and getting their autographs. John Paul is still talking about it and wants to bring his sister or brother there soon! We have plans to go back to Disney in the future as a family of four. We also visit with our families several times a year to spend time with grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

Our family also enjoys various outdoor activities that include sports and things around our home, like gardening. We play baseball and soccer with John Paul in the yard as well as bike riding through our neighborhood. He also enjoys playing on the swing set in our yard. One of our favorite places to visit is the beach and we don’t live far from the ocean so we go at every opportunity we can. Every fall, we enjoy the leaves changing color, going apple picking and getting pumpkins that we carve and roasting the pumpkin seeds. During the winter, John Paul loves to play in the snow and build snowmen. It’s so much fun! We also attend an annual adoption picnic at an amusement park in the summer and a holiday party in December. All of the children have such fun together! It is nice to spend time with other families formed by adoption. This is a tradition that we will continue as a family.

About John Paul

John Paul enjoys many outdoor activities: swimming year-round, baseball (his favorite sport), soccer and tennis. He is a member of our Church’s young people’s choir and sings at Mass. He likes to finger paint, make crafts and play board games, “Trouble” and “Candyland” are his favorites. Additionally, he enjoys computer games like Curious George and playing with his friends. He likes to be read to especially at bedtime and also enjoys telling us a story using the book illustrations. During the summer, he attends a town-wide camp where he is able to play with other children and enjoys craft time, face painting, music, singing, meeting the police and firemen, and playing in the water at the splash pad.

God’s Plan

John and I met at a Bible Study at Nicole’s Church in 1999. Our relationship began shortly after a trip to the Holy Land in 2000. We booked the trip at the same time with the same travel group and neither of us knew it until we announced it at Bible Study. We were both surprised! Our courtship was filled with many special activities and events, including Church activities, sharing our faith, leading a youth group at our Church and traveling. John proposed to me on Christmas Eve, 2003 after Midnight Mass. We were married 6 months later in June and three years later; we welcomed our son and celebrated his baptism in our Church.

Faith

As you can probably tell… our Catholic faith is very important to us. We attend Church weekly and are active in our parish. God and family are important and we try to nurture both.

Careers & Parenting

John is an Engineering Manager and builds submarines for the US Navy. Nicole was a CPA and worked for insurance companies before we adopted our son. She is now happy to be a stay-at-home mom. We both take our parenting roles seriously and believe it is so important for Nicole to be home with our children. John is a “hands on” father and a fantastic provider. Together, we made plans to provide our family with financial security. It has been such a blessing to be able to be a stay-at-home mom. We look ahead to raising our second child with the same love, care and attention.

Family and Friends

John has 4 siblings: 1 older brother and 3 sisters. Nicole is an only child. John’s siblings live in Pennsylvania, Connecticut and California. Nicole’s family lives in Michigan and Oregon as well as Germany. Nicole’s parents are retired and her mom was a medical assistant and her dad a truck driver. John’s Dad was in Sales and his mom was a stay at home mom with John. John’s family lived in several states while he was growing up. We are surrounded by a loving, encouraging group of family and friends who are excited that we are adopting again! Nicole loves to cook and bake, especially apple pie and Christmas cookies, and is often online looking for a special dinner or dessert recipe. We enjoy entertaining family and friends at our home. John Paul can be found helping Mom bake cookies or helping making breakfast (pancakes or french toast are favorites).

Where we call home

We live in a neighborhood that allows us to walk, ride bikes and chat with our neighbors while the kids play together outside. Our home is set back in a wooded setting with flower gardens surrounding our home. We have a 4-bedroom home with an open floor plan. Our home is spacious, yet has a cozy feel as you enter. We also have a finished basement with a pool table and TV area. Our town has a parks and recreation department that offers many activities that we utilize (baseball, soccer, tennis, golf) and summer concerts on the green.

Education is very important to us.

We are both college graduates and worked while in college to help pay for our educations. Nicole graduated and became a Certified Public Account and John obtained a degree in Nuclear Engineering. Our educations have allowed us to live a comfortable lifestyle. Our goal will be to send our children to college or a trade school to help them reach their future goals. No matter what they decide to do – we will be there to cheer them on!

Open Adoption

We can’t wait to meet you and the child you will place in our hearts and home. We would love to be able to tell our child firsthand about the loving person you are. If you decide to be updated in the future, we would like to send you photos and letters so you can see how your child is flourishing in our family.

Dear Birth parents,

We are ecstatic that you have decided to learn more about us. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us a little bit. It is our hope that as you read through our profile you will get an honest sense of who we are and what we can offer as parents to your child.

We have completed all of the steps and requirements necessary to adopt. We have been approved, and cannot wait to welcome our first child. We will strive daily to be the best parents we can to your child. We will provide your child with a life filled with love, encouragement and countless opportunities.

Although we are thrilled that you are considering us in your plans, we realize that the choices you face are challenging. We want you to know that we will make every attempt to ease your decision by answering any questions you may have for us. It is our hope that you are left with a calm heart – knowing your baby will be loved and cared for ….at all times!

Our choice for adoption comes from two roads. The first road is infertility, for the past 2 years we have been under the care of infertility doctors and have undergone several procedures with no success. It has been a stressful road for anyone who goes through that situation. The second road is that Kristen’s sister adopted a baby girl named Madison about 1 year ago. Adoption has touched our hearts deeply. We were able to share in their beautiful journey and got to experience the miracle of adoption firsthand. After Madison’s adoption, we began researching more about adopting – and here we are today – ready and waiting to welcome a precious boy or girl. Our family couldn’t be more excited that we’ve decided to form our family through adoption too.

Dear Birth parents,

We are Mike, Maria and Karina. Thank you so much for taking the time to look at our profile. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to tell you about ourselves.

We cannot imagine what a difficult decision this is for you, and we wish you peace and courage.

We appreciate you inner strength and understand what an important decision this is for you and your baby. You can find comfort in knowing that he or she will be loved unconditionally and cherished forever. We’re a fun, loving, active family and are looking forward to welcoming our second adopted child into our family.

We met while out with a few friends and we hit it off instantly. We talked for hours about everything and anything and never felt at a loss for words. We were married in 2004, surrounded by our family and friends. Our marriage is based on friendship, love and trust.

Throughout our relationship, we have always looked forward to having a family and raising children. We were unsuccessful in conceiving a child naturally or with the help of reproductive treatments. However, early on in our attempts, we often discussed starting a family through the miracle of adoption.

In February 2010, we were blessed and adopted our daughter, Karina. She brings us so much happiness and joy and we couldn’t love her more. Just thinking about Karina as we write these words makes us smile from ear to ear. Adopting Karina was an amazing experience for us. It was wonderful to meet Karina’s birth parents and we will be forever grateful to them for making our dream of becoming parents come true. We have been with Karina since she was born; it was a moment we will always treasure.

We enjoy each other’s company and always have fun doing anything together including ordinary tasks such as shopping or working on projects around the house. We love spending time with our daughter, Karina.

We love going to the park, zoo, going out to dinner, movies, concerts, hiking, camping, traveling, watching a variety of sporting events or just staying home and playing with Karina and our two sweet dogs.

We are so excited and ready to expand our family and welcome another baby in our lives and in all of our activities. We have so much love to share with a child. We love being parents!

We love being parents and are eager to have another baby to love. We promise to love your baby with all our hearts and provide him or her with every opportunity possible. He or she will have lifetime of love, support, nurturing, financial security, guidance and the best educational opportunities available.

We are dedicated to ensuring that he or she will be raised in a loving, positive, nurturing environment so they can develop to be the best person they can be. We will always encourage their interests and hobbies. Our main hope is that, as an adult, he or she will look back on their childhood and smile and know that they have always been loved as much as humanly possible and had a wonderful childhood full of love, wonderful memories, smiles and laughter. Our hearts are ready to embrace, love, teach and raise another child. We are looking forward to showing your baby the world and sharing our adventures with him or her.

We hope and pray that fate will shine upon us again and bring us another baby who is meant to be in our family. We are so excited for that day, as we have so much love to offer and can’t wait to add to our family.

Should you choose us as the adoptive parents, we will be more then happy to send pictures of your child and progress reports through the agency; should you desire to receive them. We hope that this book provides some knowledge, comfort, and peace with some of your concerns. We would be honored if you would consider us to be the adoptive parents.

With love and respect,
Mike, Maria and Karina

Hi, we are Gerri and Rick! We welcome you and thank you for taking time to learn about our family. We value you and the decision that you are making. It means a lot to us that you are considering us as potential parents and family for your precious child(ren). We are a happily married Cuban / Italian family hoping to expand our family through adoption. We are proud parents of our son, Nicholas and cannot wait to welcome our second child. We pray that you will help to answer those prayers. We want this experience to be a positive one both for you and for us. We pray for you and your family. May God bless and protect you always.

Our story …
We met on a blind date through a mutual friend. From the start we both felt very comfortable with each other and talked about everything under the sun. We had a lot in common and as they say “the rest was history.” A few months later, Rick flew to my parent’s home to properly ask my dad in Spanish for permission to marry me. Rick is traditional and wanted to show respect to my parents. This was especially touching because Rick didn’t speak any Spanish! He wrote what he wanted to say and had a friend translate it.

We were married in 2003 and our wedding day was incredible and memorable. We had a small intimate wedding. We were married during a huge east coast black-out so there was no power anywhere! We were married in a small church lit by sunlight and had a beautiful reception by candlelight. It was a perfect evening.

After we were married, we were eager to start our family. It did not happen easily for us. After trying on our own, we sought the advice from an infertility doctor and we decided to move forward with infertility treatments. In 2005 we welcomed our son, Nicholas and we were beaming with delight.

Knowing we wanted another child, we decided to try for another child as soon as we could. So, when Nicholas turned six months we underwent several infertility treatments in hopes to become pregnant again, which didn’t work. Throughout the treatments, we still enjoyed our family and didn’t let the disappointments interfere. We decided to take a break and enjoy being a family. As time passed, our feelings of adding another child to our family only grew stronger. After much thought, we decided to take the path of adoption to welcome our second child. We both grew up with a sibling and realize the importance of having a brother or a sister. We are ready to expand our family and offer your child a home where they will be loved, cared for and kept safe. We have so much love to give and are excited to expand our family and give your child a big brother and an encouraging home to grow up in.

Our promise…
Our promise to our new child is to provide a place where he or she will live and will grow up to be a happy and moral person. Your child will know that their opinions and decisions are valued. Your child will be raised in a loving and healthy home, free of argument, where we talk things out, help each other and respect each other. Your child will know that your decisions were made carefully and with lots of love. Your child will be encouraged to reach for the stars. We will be completely devoted to your child’s care and well-being.

Our thanks…
Although it doesn’t seem adequate, we want to thank you for giving us the opportunity to share our family with you. We want to thank you for allowing us to show you how much love there is in our home, for each other, for our son, for your child and for you.

Hello,

Thank you for taking time to look through our profile and see if we might be the couple you choose to become parents to your baby. We can only imagine that this is a challenging time in your life, as you consider adoption as an option for you and your child. Without even knowing you, it is clear that you are unselfish. To us, choosing to give your child a bright future by making an adoption plan is a selfless act of love.

We are incredibly excited about becoming first time parents, but at the same time, we have compassion for you as you make up your mind about what is best for you and your baby. We will make sure that your baby understands adoption in a positive way. We want this child to know that he or she is loved by all of us. God Bless you for giving this child life.

How we met

Steven and I first met at a mutual friend’s party. We talked and laughed a lot that night and made plans for our first date. We have been together ever since that day 11 years ago. We were married on Valentine’s Day and have been happily married for 6 years now.

Embracing Adoption

Since I was a little girl I dreamed of being a mother. It is a dream that still remains in my heart. After Steve and I were married, we tried for years to have a baby with no success. We saw an infertility doctor for help and learned that pregnancy would not be possible for us. We were informed that my ovaries were not functioning properly. I was upset by this news. Steve was so loving and comforting. He assured me, we would be parents. He suggested adopting like his sister and husband had done adopting their two daughters. We believe that this is the way God has intended our family to be formed. We have completed all of the steps required and have been approved to adopt. We are more than ready to welcome our first child. Because adoption has already touched our family, everyone is even more excited to welcome our “miracle baby!”

Growing up

Steve and I both feel so blessed to have grown up in happy homes. We both have many wonderful childhood memories. Steve comes from a large family; he has three sisters and one brother, and I have a brother. We both share close relationships with our parents, our siblings and their families. We want to give our child a joyful childhood like we had. We would like our children to feel the love, safety and encouragement that we felt growing up.

Where we live

Our home is located in a beautiful suburban town in New York. Our neighborhood is filled with many families with young children. We feel fortunate that our entire family lives within a few blocks of one another. All of our nieces and nephews go to the same school. Our family has a close bond and we enjoy getting together regularly.

Careers

Steven runs his family construction business which has been in business for over 40 years. It comes with a lot of flexibility leaving Steven being able to make his own hours. I am a phlebotomist at a hospital close to our home. I also have great flexibility in my work schedule. When we are blessed with a baby, I plan to drop my schedule down to only one day a week. We have planned financially so I can be a stay at home mom and I can’t wait!!!

Dreams and Parenthood

We dream of family vacations at Walt Disney World, building sandcastles on the beach, celebrating holidays, birthdays and walks in the park. We are so excited about welcoming this baby into our lives. We have so much to share with this baby. We will be fully devoted to your baby day in and day out. Your baby will have two dedicated parents, a safe encouraging home to grow up in and a large loving extended family. We are prepared emotionally and financially to become parents.

Thank you!

We sincerely appreciate your time and consideration. You are in our prayers as you make your decisions.

Thomas and Linda are hopeful adoptive parents waiting to adopt a baby. Words cannot begin to express how thankful we are for you! Being parents blessed with one biological child, we can really appreciate the unconditional love you obviously have for your child. If given the honor, we will surround your child with unconditional love for the rest of their lives. You can reach them toll free by calling 1-800-626-4324.

Dear Birth Parents,

Hello. Our names are Thomas and Linda. Words cannot begin to express how thankful we are for you! Being parents blessed with one biological child, we can really appreciate the unconditional love you obviously have for your child. If given the honor, we will surround your child with unconditional love for the rest of their lives.

Our son Nicholas is very well rounded and healthy. He is quite compassionate and nurturing to others. He is a good student and involved in many activities such as Boy Scouting, sports and volunteering. He has many friends. Nicholas often expresses the desire to care for a sibling .He says he would love to teach him/her and would love to be a big brother by helping them grow.

We have always wanted to make our family complete by having another child. After a very serious car accident, Linda was no longer able to have another child. But, we never gave up hope! We both come from large families and know having a sibling is a precious gift. We feel that an adopted child is a true gift from God equally as much as a biological child.

We are married 15 years but started out first as best friends. We consider ourselves soul mates and very blessed to have each other. We have always been a close couple with an open relationship. We often speak about how unique and strong the bonds of love we have for one another are. We also believe that children learn what they live. We would love to share our love with another child and teach them about how wonderful life and love are.

We have a strong family with our Catholic faith being a major component. We go to church together, we eat meals together and we celebrate together. We are very close with our family. Our family consists of grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins who live close by and who are extremely supportive.
Education is important to us and your child would have a private school education. We are also a family who is active in volunteering both in our church and school community. We find this very fulfilling and feel that it is a great example to teach a child to give back by helping others.

We love to vacation, go for bike rides, play sports, go to the theatre, go to museums and play board games.

We live in a beautiful home with a large backyard, play area, swing set and patio. We have a finished playroom filled with toys and your child would have their own bedroom. Our home is in a pretty neighborhood with parks and shopping centers nearby. We live on a tree lined street with many children of all ages. We are friendly with all of our neighbors.

Having a family is a privilege we take quite seriously. We devote ourselves to being there for our family. Linda works part-time three days a week, only a couple of hours a day and Thomas works full-time. We have both been with our employers for almost twenty years. Both of our schedules are flexible, one of us (if not both) will always be home. Although we have close family members willing to help out, it has always been important to us as parents, to be the primary caregivers.

At this time, we want to say thank you. If you choose us to be the adoptive family to your child, we will always guide and support him/her. Should you choose to receive letters or photos, we would be honored to share them with you. We will provide them with all the tools they need to have a happy, healthy and fulfilled life. Please know that your child will always know how much they are loved. They will be told of the love you have for them and of the great sacrifice you made for them. God bless you.

Sincerely,

Linda and Thomas
