Tina & Mike
Hi! Thanks for checking out our profile. We’re Mike and Tina, and we’ve been married for 11 years. In some ways, we’re very different. Mike is quiet and reserved, and loves to play and watch sports. Tina is talkative and energetic, and loves music and theater. But we both have common values and morals: being honest and truthful, treating others the way you want to be treated, cherishing those you love. These beliefs keep us committed to each other and to our family.

Kate
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read about me and my family as you consider the possibility of making an adoption plan for your child. I am an American who grew up in Europe, in a number of different countries. I came back to the United States while I was in high school, then I went to college in New Hampshire and graduate school in New York. I’ve been working in nonprofit organizations in New York ever since. I have a house in a quiet neighborhood with good schools, across from a conservation area.

Reshma
Hello, I appreciate you taking the time to learn about me. As long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a mom. I’ve also always known that I am capable of loving a child that didn’t come through me. I consider adoption a special and unique way to become a parent. After 15 years of establishing myself as a professional working in education, I’m ready to devote myself to motherhood. When my baby arrives, I will take a few months off and my work is such that I can work from home as needed. I also have a whole village of family members and friends who are ready to support my child and me.

Alan & Sammy
Hello! Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity to introduce ourselves! We are Sammy and Alan.

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.

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.

Nichole
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. 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.

Erjia & Jeremiah
Salutations! We’re Erjia and Jeremiah, thanks for reading our profile. We applaud you, these efforts you’re making and the thoughts that you’re thinking and we know not all of them are very easy. We appreciate them. We appreciate you and your openness and, if you’re wondering, yes, we do come fully equipped with teddy bears.
We have pretty diverse backgrounds: Erjia teaches college and Jeremiah writes for children. Erjia grew up in a city of 8.5 million people in China and Jeremiah grew up on 200 acres of farm and forest in Indiana. Jeremiah is pretty handy with hammer and nails or a baking sheet and Erjia is bilingual. So, between the two of us, we feel like we can offer a child a happily broad and interesting experience in the world.

Cynthia & Tracie
Nice to “meet” you! We are a loving couple excited to build our family through adoption. We met a few years ago as friends, fell in love, and then married in 2019. We cannot wait to start this next chapter of our life together. Community is deeply important to us. We gather our friends and loved ones as often as possible to cook, eat, play games, sing songs, dance, and enjoy the present moment. We share a passion for travel and look forward to showing a child the world, and seeing it anew through his or her eyes. As a lesbian couple, we know that love and family take many forms and include a wide network of people. This is what brought us to adoption.
