  • Alan & Sammy

    Hello! Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity to introduce ourselves! We are Sammy and Alan. We met back in 2003 and it was an instant connection as we share a lot in common not just in interests but in what is important to us. We got our first apartment in 2005 together, our first home in 2013 and on June 16, 2017, we celebrated our love together in what was the best day of our lives. One of the shared interests and what we find important to us is family. We treasure our time and experiences with our family and are beyond excited to have the opportunity to become parents.

  • Seher & Harris

    We are Seher (pronounced “Sa-hair”) & Harris. We have been together since 2006, and are excited and grateful to be starting a family through adoption. We look forward to providing a loving, safe, stable, and fun home and environment for our child, and to giving them the support and resources they need to thrive. We believe our most important job as parents will be to help our child discover what the most fulfilling life is for them, and then supporting them at each step along the way in living that life – in finding whatever happiness and success means for them, in whatever identities they hold sacred, and with whomever they love and are loved by.

    Hello! How do I even come close to expressing the appreciation and admiration I have for you for considering an adoption plan for your child. I wholeheartedly respect your decision and I’m humbled by your love for your baby. My journey to motherhood has been a long road, but one I’m 100% committed too.
