Dear birthmother,***WE ARE LOOKING TO ADOPT A BABY OF ANY RACE***Hi!We are Pete and Criss. Although our life together has been blessed, we always felt that our family was missing something. We can’t wait to share our lives with a little one. We thank you for taking the time to consider us as adoptive parents for your baby. We know this must be a very difficult decision for you. Thanks to wonderful women like you, we have the opportunity to fulfill our dream of having a child. We are an active couple that tries to live life to the fullest. Our household is filled with love, laughter and caring. Criss loves our dogs so much her heart actual aches when she has to travel without them. Can you imagine how much she would love a child? This is the type of love that a child would share in our family. 
About usCriss is a successful executive for an Architectural Engineering firm. In order, she loves her family, her dogs, her friends, and her work. She spends her leisure time reading, spending time with family and friends, and running. Criss is also the co-founder of a charity that works within communities to empower people to improve their lives. Pete works in finance, but would much rather be on a golf course or at a baseball game. Prior to his entrance into the world of business, Pete was a child welfare worker for 7 years. We have been happily married for over 10 years. 
Our home / Our petsWe live in a single family house on the Northside of Chicago that we share with our two dogs Maxi and Yoda. The baby will have his own bedroom and a great finished basement to play in. We have a small fenced in yard and a fabulous new park just two blocks away.Our neighborhood is full of wonderful and ethnically diverse families. We are excited to share all of the amazing activities that Chicago has to offer a child like museums, parks, the zoo, and sporting events. 
Our extended familyWe both have small loving families. We have six nephews and nieces that we love to spend time with. Criss’ parents live close and will be a regular part of our child’s life. Our families get together for every holiday and special occasion. In addition, we have a wonderful group of friends that we consider our extended family. Everyone will embrace this child with open arms and a loving heart. 
What we do for funWe love to go to various sporting events and are looking forward to sharing our love of sports with a little boy. Pete is excited about the addition of another Bears fan in the family. We both love to exercise. Criss is an avid runner and can’t wait to put the baby into a running stroller and run with him on Chicago’s lakefront. We also love to vacation with our family and friends whether it be a trip to our timeshare in Hawaii or an adventure to Disney World with our nieces and nephews. Facts About HusbandFacts About Wife |
