Our Video
dear expectant mother
We can only imagine the depth of love, strength, and courage it takes to make this decision for your child. We want to begin by acknowledging your bravery and expressing our deep gratitude for considering adoption. We know this is not an easy path, and we respect the love that guides your choices as you seek the best future for your baby.
As you read this, we hope you feel the warmth and security of the home and family we have built. We have always dreamed of becoming parents, and adoption is not just a way to grow our family—it is a profound calling that fills our hearts with hope. We are eager to provide a child with unconditional love, a safe and happy home, and a future full of opportunities. Our extended family is excited to welcome a little one, and we are surrounded by a strong, supportive community ready to embrace this child with open arms.
We are committed to honoring your child’s story, embracing their cultural identity, and ensuring they always know they are loved—not just by us but by you as well. No matter where this journey leads, please know we hold you in our hearts with respect and gratitude.
About Us
Our Home & Neighborhood
Our Family & Friends
Our extended family is close knit and incredibly supportive. Richard has three sisters and Jeff one brother, along with a number of cousins. Family gatherings are filled with warmth, laughter, and shared meals featuring Jeff’s family gumbo, Richard’s Italian recipes, and Jeff’s sister-in-law’s dishes from Paraguay, creating a rich blend of traditions and flavors. One of Jeff’s strongest childhood memories is taking summer road trips with his family to visit extended relatives and explore historical sites. These traditions instilled in him a deep appreciation for family connection and new experiences, something we hope to share with our child.
Richard’s parents are moving to our city, ensuring that our child will grow up surrounded by loving grandparents. Jeff’s father already lives nearby and is an active, devoted grandfather to Jeff’s nieces. We are fortunate that our extended family fully supports our adoption journey. Having seen firsthand the joy adoption has brought to our family through our niece, we are excited to create a loving home where our child will be surrounded by encouragement, traditions, and a strong sense of belonging.
