Dear Birthmother,
We cannot begin to imagine what you are going through but want to acknowledge how brave, loving, and selfless you are for considering adoption. Your situation is unique and personal, and we respect your choice. Only you know what is best for your baby, so we greatly appreciate you considering our family.
We understand what a personal and difficult decision it is to choose an adoptive family, so we want to ensure you we will provide a truly loving, nurturing, and supportive environment surrounded by family and close friends. We have been blessed with an adoptive son and have seen the many positives associated with adoption. Should you choose us as the adoptive family, we will ensure your child is surrounded by lots of love, laughter, and family fun.
We would be extremely honored if you chose and entrusted our family with the incredible gift of adoption.
Our Home
We specifically chose our home in Colorado because of its proximity to multiple children’s parks (one directly in front of our home), excellent schools, and the family-friendly neighborhood. Our home is a welcoming two-story home with three bedrooms on the second floor, perfect for parents and two children to be in close proximity. We also chose the home because the basement provides a spacious and fun play area for the children; the open kitchen is perfect for Antonis’s baking and cooking; and the backyard is perfect for playing outdoors.
Our Extended Family
Patrick’s mom, brother, and nephew live in South Carolina, where he grew up, in a small town. They are very close and get together at least twice a year, with Thanksgiving holidays always being full of food, music, and lots of laughs. There is a tradition of playing board games when they get together with gag gifts as prizes. Surprise birthday parties with lots of balloons is another long-running family tradition.
Antonis’s family lives in Cyprus (an island in the Mediterranean with a close connection to Greece) and includes his two sisters, four nieces, and a nephew. Antonis was raised in Cyprus and helped take care of his nieces and nephews when they were young. We visit Cyprus at least once a year, and family traditions include bowling, beach time, and trips to the mountains. Food and music are important parts of the Greek-Cypriot culture, and we always enjoy those as a family.
