Adoption Profile: Henrik & Maggie< Back to Families Waiting to Adopt
Race of child interested in adopting:
Dear birthmother,If you choose us to be the adoptive parents to your baby, you will always be remembered for the gift you have given us. We hope you will find comfort knowing that we will offer this child a truly special life, and will never take your sacrifice for granted. We understand that this process is difficult and we wish you the courage and strength to get through it. Thank you for spending this time to get to know us. We met several years ago when Maggie's sister set us up on a date. She thought we would "hit it off," and we did. Soon, we realized how much we shared, including our love for reading, passion for travel and our desire to have a family. We got engaged while traveling in Rome and married in a small ceremony. When we found out that we probably would never have children of our own, we were of course devastated. But getting through this time has brought us closer together and made us even more determined to become great parents. We know that our marriage is strong and can withstand even the most heart-breaking disappointment. And we have also come to realize that even though we can't have a child of our own, we can still have the family we always wanted. It is this realization that has led us to you. We are so grateful that adoption is an option and we would consider it a great privilege to give your baby an amazing life. We can't wait to read to this child every night, go on beach vacations filled with sun and sand castles and visit our extended families in Sweden and Italy. But most of all, we can't wait to watch this child learn and grow into a person with passions and dreams of his or her own. 
About usMaggie is incredibly excited to have a family of her own. She was raised in a large family and grew up spending countless hours talking and laughing around the dinner table. Some of her favorite memories are from road trips -- going fishing with her stepfather, fighting with her brother, and idolizing her big sister. Maggie was fortunate to have loving parents who taught her to work hard, stay honest and treat others with respect. Thanks to the support of the people close to her, Maggie was able to go off to a private college where she thrived as a leader in her sorority and in her studies abroad in China. Henrik was born and raised in a large city in Sweden. He grew up playing soccer with his friends just about every chance he got. It was on the soccer field that he made friendships that are still lasting today. Henrik is also very close with his parents and his brother and sister, who moved with Henrik to this country when he was a teenager. He also loves spending time with his nephew playing Nintendo, catching bugs in the backyard, or reading Harry Potter together. 
Our home / Our pets
Our extended familyEvery member of Henrik's family is passionate about learning and reading, and most conversations at his parents' home will turn to books and art; and if Henrik's nephew is around, the latest comic books. His parents' love and their strong focus on education helped Henrik excel in high school and later, in college, at Yale University. Henrik has a strong interest in philosophy and also in languages. He has combined these interests to pursue a successful career as an attorney and a translator. Henrik is his own boss, which means that he has a flexible schedule and often is able to work from home. This will make it easy to spend more time with Maggie and the family. Maggie's upbringing and education were a big factor in her decision to pursue a career in public service. After college, she attended graduate school and learned how to become an advocate for communities with minimal access to quality education and jobs. Maggie now works in a youth center where she helps young people facing obstacles in life. Watching her youth develop into responsible, capable adults reminds her that there is always hope for the future and just how lucky she is to have a career she loves. She is grateful to her parents, teachers and mentors for the amazing opportunities they have afforded her and she can't wait to provide similar opportunities to a child of her own. 
In Closing...This is the first time in a long while that we have felt hopeful in our pursuit of having a family. We are so grateful to you for considering us to be the adoptive parents of your baby. We hope that in getting to know us a little you will see that we have so much love to give a child and will dedicate our lives to ensuring this child has the support he or she needs to become a happy, successful and loving person. The child that we adopt will have not only our support, but the support of a large network of doting aunts, uncles and grandparents. We both come from extremely tight-knit families deeply committed to one another. In fact, it often has seemed like our infertility was just as hard on our families as it was on us. With the addition of this child, our family barbecues, vacations, birthdays and holidays will finally feel complete. Our family gatherings are always warm and joyous occasions, and our many nephews and nieces are sure to contribute to the child's happy upbringing. It is our sincerest feeling that this child will make our family whole. We also know that everyday things like our weekend brunches, walks in the shopping district and outings to the museums and neighborhood parks will finally be filled with contentment instead of uncertainty. We live in a safe neighborhood in a large city. Each morning we see families of diverse backgrounds walking their children to the elementary school just two blocks away. We are blessed to be living in such a vibrant and exciting community – and in one of the greatest cities in the world. Facts About HusbandFacts About Wife |
