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.

Jim & Ben
Hi! We are so grateful and honored that you’re taking the time to learn more about us. We recognize that this is a difficult time for you. We both truly admire you for your strength, compassion, and courage in making this difficult decision. We have been together for over 10 years, married for 5, and live in the suburbs of Philadelphia. We were very blessed to have our son, Ethan, join our family through open adoption at birth about 2 years ago. Ethan’s also excited about the welcoming a new member to the family as well! Our neighborhood boasts plenty of kids and one of the best school districts in the state. Jim’s extended family lives just down the street and Ben’s extended family is in his hometown of Pittsburgh. We spend a lot of time with family – from weekly family dinners with Jim’s family, to spending a week or two with Ben’s family in Pittsburgh, we love our families.

Edgar & Tom
Hi! We are Edgar and Tom. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We know this is a challenging time in your life and we understand that it takes courage to consider adoption for your child. Edgar’s story begins in Mexico, Tom’s in Massachusetts, but our story together begins in Queens. It’s where we met in 2010, where we have lived the entirety of our relationship, and where we chose to get married. It’s a community that represents our values of diversity and inclusivity. And it’s where we hope to start our family.

We can promise you we will not take parenting for granted and hope this letter and photos give you a glimpse of the type of parents we will be.

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.

Kia
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. He and I are the same age and we were raised like fraternal twins. While I understand what it is like to be a member of an adoptive family, I can’t imagine what this experience is like for you. 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!”. It has encouraged me through some tough situations.

Gabriel & Connor
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to get to know us! We are an easygoing married couple living in New Jersey. We are so excited about welcoming a child into our family and nurturing them as they grow. We both come from big family-orientated homes (and Gabriel’s sister is also starting the adoption journey!) We both come from open, loving homes and we cannot wait to welcome a child into our lives. Our dream for this future would include teaching our child how to cook up a feast in the kitchen, getting going on a family DIY-project and of course, family game night! In general we enjoy interacting with people, nature and the world in which we live; whether that is having a lazy day indoors, or hiking up the mountain!
