Dear Expectant Mother,

We want you to know we appreciate what a difficult decision this is for you, and we have nothing but admiration and respect for the courage and love that it takes to consider this. Life can be full of surprises and unexpected obstacles. Whatever circumstances led to you considering adoption, we are amazed by such a selfless act. We would be honored and humbled to be entrusted with your child and would strive every day to prioritize their well being just as you are doing now. We are open to whatever relationship is most comfortable for you. We believe being honest from the beginning is the best path for your child and our family. Your child will know from an early age the story of their biological family.

We are very fortunate to live comfortable lives with supportive families. Our careers enable us to have ample resources to raise a well-rounded child with plenty of opportunities. Our marriage is built on a strong foundation of trust and respect, and we feel very lucky to have met each other at a young age. While we have found success in our careers and marriage, we did not find that same success in our journey to conceive. When we got married, we knew our primary desire was to raise a child in a loving home. We didn’t know at the time that this desire would lead us to adoption, but now we are so thankful to be on this journey. We intend to bring your child up surrounded by love, support, honesty, and happiness. We feel adopting your child would add meaning and joy to our lives, and we are forever grateful to you for this gift.

About Us

Hello! We are Michelle and Philip. We met in college through a mutual friend and then realized we were both in the same art history class. We got married after dating for five years and have been married for eleven years. We live active lives and enjoy spending time outdoors and traveling together. Our hobbies include camping, hiking, and running together as a family. Philip is an avid musician and can be found playing guitar or writing songs in his free time. Michelle enjoys spending time with friends and bird watching. Philip is a doctor in the Navy, and Michelle works for the government as an environmental scientist. Our typical weekday includes getting home from work and taking a family walk around our neighborhood, cooking together, and eating dinner as a family. We are looking forward to sharing our love of nature and travel with our future family.

Our Home & Neighborhood

We are currently stationed in Japan. We are living in a cozy two-story house in a quiet neighborhood with lots of families with small kids. The neighborhood is mostly Japanese but there are a few other military families nearby. We are walking distance to several schools, playgrounds, nature trails and a community center. We share our home with Jackie, our retriever/hound rescue who is always the fastest dog at the dog park and the first to get to the ball. She is very patient with our daughter and knows small people equals extra treats and lots of pets. Japan is such a child-friendly country, we think this is the perfect time to add to our family.

Our Family & Friends

We both come from big families. Michelle is the eldest of four sisters, and Philip is the third of four siblings. We are close to all our family and love to spend as much time with them as we can. Michelle has four nephews and two nieces between 1 and 6 years old so there is always a lot of excitement when we all get together. All of Michelle’s family lives on the West coast and we try to get the whole family together for a ski or camping trip every year.

Philip’s family is a little farther away, but we love to visit them on the holidays. He has a sister with four children and two brothers, one of whom is about to have their first baby. When we all get together, our favorite activity is going out to the family ranch and barbecuing.

Our Adoption Story

A few years into our marriage, we started trying for a child with no success. When we were not able to have children, it was a natural decision to pursue adoption. In 2023 we adopted our daughter, Perrin, and she is one of the greatest joys of our life. We are excited to grow our family again through adoption and see our daughter grow up with a sibling close in age. We matched with our daughter’s birthmother early in her second trimester. We were able to build a strong bond throughout her pregnancy, and we continue that relationship through texting and sharing photos.
