Dear Birthmother,
Thank you for stopping to read my profile. I know this is a difficult decision, and I am fully in awe of the strength and love you have for your child in order to consider this path. Considering me to raise your baby is a blessing.
I am financially stable and able to work from home the majority of the time. In addition, by being biracial, I understand the importance of traditions and cultural ties. I will make sure a child is embraced by their ethnicity and exposed to their culture. They will be educated, cared for, and well traveled! I can’t wait to make snow angels, bake homemade cookies, and discover new adventures.
If you make my dream of parenthood come true, my promise to you is your child will always come first, and they will always be provided for, loved, and supported. They will have an amazing life filled with laughter, exploration, and memories.
About Me
I am an independent, curious, easygoing person who loves to travel, read a good book, and watch movies or comedy shows. I love photography, long walks, discovering something new (whether it is a new food or a new show), and long phone calls with family and friends. I am an attorney and I am fortunate enough to be able to work from home the majority of the time.
My Home
I have a long dog named Ziggy that was adopted from a rescue. He is full of personality and likes to stretch out like an accordion. (Seriously, look at his picture!) He has frequent visits with his cousins, Stella and Gracie, who are two fluffy Aussiedoodles! I live in a four-bedroom house with a nice-sized backyard in a wonderful neighborhood. There is a community lake, trails, playgrounds, and a pool! There is plenty to do and lots of children’s activities to explore together. Museums and cultural activities are moments away. I can’t wait for all the holiday festivities!
My Extended Family
I was raised by a single mom and surrounded by love from family and friends. My friends and family are intertwined to some degree. Being biracial, I was exposed to different cultures and ideas growing up. In addition, I spent many years growing up abroad and was exposed to different cultures, races, and people. Our holidays are typically filled with favorite foods or new adventures in travel. Everyone is supportive and anxious for me to begin my new chapter and ready to embrace this new gift of adoption. So many art projects, camping trips, and little adventures are waiting!
What Led Me To Adoption
After working on my career, I switched my focus to starting a family. Several surgeries and unsuccessful rounds of IVF later, I realized that was not going to be my path. I have two friends who have successfully adopted. I see how adoption has changed their lives, redefined their family, and filled their hearts and homes with love! I am ready to welcome a little one into my home, family, and heart.
