Families

Dear Birthmother,
Thank you meeting our family. We understand that this is a very difficult process for you. We want you to understand that we are a very loving, caring and strong family. Greg and I are very excited to bring another child into our family. We have been married for 17 years. We have two girls who are excited about growing our family.  Our girls are 11 years old and 7 years old. Our family is very close. We would love the opportunity to share more about our family.  

Dear Birthmother,  
We truly admire your decision to choose adoption for your baby. We know that you want your child to grow up in a loving family with every opportunity to succeed and it’s our fondest wish that we will be that family for you. David and I have been married for 16 years. Infertility led us down the path to adoption and we were beyond thrilled when we adopted our son Jeremy in 2007. The three of us are so excited about fulfilling our dreams of expanding our family by adopting again. Jeremy especially can’t wait and loves to tell everyone that he’s not a boy he’s a big brother! We would love the opportunity to meet you and to share our joy through the years with letters and pictures. We know this will be a difficult decision for you to make. While we certainly hope you will choose us we want you to know that no matter what decision you make we wish nothing but the best for you and your baby. Thank you for considering us.

Hello! We are Scott and Danielle and our hope is to grow our family through adoption!  We truly believe that adoption is a sacred trust between a birth mother and the adoptive parents.  We deeply respect your courage and admire your selfless interest in the future of your child as you consider adoption.  We wish you peace as you make this difficult decision. We live in Arlington in a beautiful old house close to parks, schools and all that DC has to offer. We love spending time grilling in our backyard, working in the garden, and sitting in rocking chairs on our big front porch.  We do not have any children, but we do have a 1 year old puppy named Murphy.  We have very loving and supportive families, including both of our parents (who are still married after over 25 years) and our younger sisters.  Danielle also still has three of her grandparents! Our families are a constant presence in our lives and are looking forward to having a child to shower with love.  Danielle loves to spend time outside- hiking, biking, running, or playing ball in the park with Murphy. She also loves to cook and travel.  Scott loves all types of sports, having friends and family over to BBQ and taking trips to the beach.  There is so much more we would love to share with you, including the hopes and dreams we have for our child.  Thank you for considering our family and we would welcome the opportunity for you to get to know us better!  

Hello! We are Geoff, Kristen, Evelyn, and Henry--a family that has been built on adoption. We want you to know that we have been praying for you and your unborn child every day, and we sincerely thank you for courageously choosing life for your baby—although extremely difficult, your adoption decision is heroic, selfless and truly loving. We are a fun and loving family that has plenty more love to give. Our four year old, Evelyn, looks forward to giving her new sister or brother a bottle, and two year old Henry says he can’t wait to hold the baby. Like our children, we too cannot wait to lovingly accept another child into our home. We strongly embrace our Catholic Christian faith, and are blessed to have a solid loving marriage, strong financial stability, a rich network of friends and relatives, and a great love of all children. We are anxious to share this love with another child and thank you for considering us. Please know that while we could never truly understand the pain, difficulty, and struggle of your decision, we are certainly willing to do anything we can to make your decision a little bit easier. We are happy to send pictures and updates throughout the child’s life, and would love the opportunity to meet and speak with you. May God Bless You.

Hello, we are Mike and Monika and we are hoping to expand our family through adoption.  We have been happily married for three years and are waiting to meet that special child that God has in mind for us.   We live in a wonderful neighborhood in Arlington with parks, pools and lots of children, and have family and many friends nearby who are almost as anxious as we are to welcome a new child into our home.  Monika works from home and Mike works nearby in DC.  We are both active and enjoy tennis and cycling, gardening and spending time with our family including our four nephews and one niece.  We are fortunate to have great role models as both our parents have been married over 40 years; they are also looking forward to adding another grandchild to the family.  We were both brought up to believe strongly in education, experiencing the world through travel and understanding other cultures.  We admire and respect the decision that you are pursuing, and hope to have an opportunity to get to know you and tell you more about ourselves and the home that we have to offer.

Hi we are Heath and Monica and we have been happily married for seven years. The one thing missing in our lives is a child and so we hope to become parents through adoption. We both come from close knit families and all of our parents, brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, and cousins are so eager to welcome and love a new member of the family. One of our nieces is adopted and we are all so incredibly blessed to have her in our family. Our faith is important to us and we are hoping and praying for the child we will adopt and praying for   his/her mother and her family.

Hi, we are Heather and Chris. We are a loving couple looking to share our love and grow our family, through adoption. We have a happy home which offers openness, stability, and support. We look forward to providing opportunities for education and travel — all in the context of unconditional love. We are blessed to have diverse community of friends and family, each as excited as we are about the prospect of a new family member.
