Matthew & James
Hi, we’re James and Matthew. James is a musician, and Matthew is a high school teacher. We have been together for almost 20 years, and we are excited to share our love with a child. James can’t wait to read books with lots of funny voices to a little person. Matthew is excited to sing songs and cook together. Or maybe we can just walk to the playground and swing on the swings. We want to show our child as much of the world as we can. We want to help them learn who they are and what they have to offer the world.

Rebekah & Evan
We are Rebekah and Evan and we are honored to be considered by you in helping us grow our family. We’ve been on the family growing journey for several years and can’t wait to share our lives with a child. We have so much love to give as do our extended families. We’re so excited to watch our child grow into their own identity and shower them with everything we have to offer.
We are surrounded by love from our big families, close friends and everyone is very excited to welcome a child into our lives. We’ve been together since 2008 when Evan was looking for musicians to join a band he was forming (Rebekah is also a musician and plays frequently). A band was formed as was a marriage-to-be. Aside from a shared love of music, Evan is an artist (but has an additional career he loves) and Rebekah is a seamstress and product designer.

Adoption has always been a part of my family and I knew that I would be forming my own family one day and that adoption would be a part of that journey.

Sakinah
Hello. My name is Sakinah and here’s a sneak peek into my life, the people, activities and experiences that bring me joy. One of my favorite quotes is “the most wasted of days is one without laughter”. I love entertaining friends and family at my home and look for any opportunity to be outdoors. I have over 20 years of finance experience. My career started out in investment banking. This work was incredibly rewarding but left little time for a life outside of work. I currently work in the nonprofit sector. Work is important to me but my most important contribution to society will be raising a healthy, confident child.

Hi, I’m Kia! Let me first greet you with a greeting of peace for your heart and mind. One of my favorite people, my brother Khoy, joined our family through adoption.

I truly believe all things work together for good. One of my favorite motivational songs is “Alright” by Kendrick Lamar, as in “We gon’ be alright!”.
