Dear Birthmother,

Thank you for taking a moment to get to know us. We can only imagine the emotions you may be feeling, and we want you to know how much we admire your strength, courage, and love. Whatever path you choose, we honor the deep care you have for your child.

We're Paul and Mark, a loving married couple from New Jersey. We've built a joyful life rooted in family, kindness, and connection. We're already parents to our daughter, Molly, and are thrilled to grow our family through adoption. Our home is filled with laughter, bedtime stories, puppy cuddles from our dog, Smitty, and unconditional love. We promise to provide a safe, nurturing space where your child feels seen, supported, and cherished.

Family is central to our lives—holidays are filled with traditions, big dinners, and joyful chaos. Summers mean beach days, sandcastles, and ice cream with nieces and nephews. Our extended families are eager to welcome another child and are excited to shower them with love.

As parents, we will encourage your child's passions, celebrate who they are, and remind them always of the love that brought them into our lives. We are committed to openness and will ensure your child knows their story began with your strength and selfless love.
If it's your wish, we'd be honored to maintain an open relationship and share milestones along the way. Thank you again for considering us—we're holding you in our hearts as you navigate this decision.

With love and respect,
Paul, Mark, Molly & Smitty


Home

Our Home

We live in a peaceful, family-friendly town in central New Jersey—where neighbors wave hello, kids ride bikes on quiet streets, and families gather at local parks. It blends small-town charm with easy access to New York City and Philadelphia, perfect for day trips and visiting loved ones.

Our home is bright, cozy, and full of love. We live in a three-bedroom townhome with a sunny living area and a big kitchen where we love to cook together. One bedroom is set up as a nursery for our daughter, Molly, who enjoys bedtime stories and playing with our sweet dog, Smitty—her constant companion.

We cherish the simple joys: family dinners, movie nights, neighborhood walks, and relaxing on the patio. With great schools, outdoor spaces, and a warm community, it's a wonderful place to raise a child—and we're thrilled to grow our family here.

Our Extended Family

Family is truly at the heart of our lives. Mark comes from a big, lively family—he's one of four siblings, and gatherings are always full of energy and laughter. His sister Carol Ann has four children—Louis, Lana, John, and Eileen—who bring so much joy to family get-togethers. Mark's parents are actively involved in our lives and love spending time with their grandchildren, whether it's babysitting or cooking meals.

Paul also comes from a close-knit family. His parents live nearby and are a constant, loving presence. We often visit for Sunday dinners, birthdays, and casual visits. Paul's brother lives farther away, but we stay closely connected.

Our families have blended beautifully, and everyone is thrilled to welcome another child. We cherish our family traditions—celebrating holidays with big meals, exchanging gifts, and making lasting memories. Summers are especially special, with long beach days, sandcastles, and ice cream with nieces and nephews.

With so much love and support around us, we feel incredibly grateful to raise our children in such a strong and connected family community. It's a home filled with warmth, laughter, and endless encouragement—and we are eager to share it with another child.
