Dear Birthmother,

First, we want to express our profound gratitude for considering us as a prospective family. We understand what you are going through cannot be easy, but if you choose us, know that we will provide a warm, loving home for your child with every opportunity to achieve whatever they can dream. We hope we have the chance to show you just how much adding such a wonderful new part to our family would mean to us.

We believe the sky’s the limit for what a child can do and that anything is possible with enough hard work and belief in yourself. We want to help you along in this process as much as we can and ensure your child has as bright a future as possible. They will be loved by us more than you can imagine. We love spending holidays and vacations together with our families and hope to bring that joy to your child.

The decision you are making is both huge and important; we recognize how hard that can be. We would be delighted to complete our family through the adoption process with you. Thank you so much for giving us this chance.

WITH LOVE,
CARA & STEPHEN


About

About Us

We have been married for 12 years. We had our first date at Cara’s favorite Italian restaurant, and we knew at that time that it was meant to be. We both share a passion for sports, dogs, theme parks, and comedy. We love playing with our son, teaching him about science and the world around him. Stephen is caring and intelligent, and he enjoys making others laugh. Stephen has been a software engineer for over 15 years and likes sports, movies, science fiction, and video games. Cara is fun-loving, devoted to family, and hardworking. Cara has worked as a pharmacist for almost 15 years. She enjoys sporting events, going to the beach, swimming, traveling, and solving puzzles. Some of our favorite moments together include family get-togethers and holidays, going on cruises, and enjoying simple, fun times like playing mini-golf.


Home

Our Home

Our home is a fairly new two-story house in a small, gated community that is full of young families with kids of all ages. It has a screened-in pool, a dedicated playroom, and an extra bedroom just waiting to be filled with our hopeful new addition. The area is close to schools, parks, and a zoo, and we’re less than an hour from several theme parks, among other Central Florida attractions. We have two dogs we love very much as well. The first is our 15-year-old Chihuahua named Salsa, and then there’s our 1-year-old dachshund, Reeses. Both are great with our son.


Extended Family Extended Family

Our Extended Family

Cara has one younger brother and one younger sister; her sister was recently married and has twin baby daughters. Her parents each have a sister. She has several cousins, including one who was adopted. We love getting together for holidays like Thanksgiving and Hanukkah as well as vacations, especially tropical cruises.

Stephen is an only child. He has three uncles and aunts and many cousins. They are spread out throughout the U.S., so we usually only get to see them all on big occasions like weddings and bar/bat mitzvahs. Many times our family will come down to visit and spend several days together at Disney World. We try to see our families whenever we are visiting their area and enjoy our time together.


Story

What Led Us To Adoption

Cara knew from an early age that she would have difficulty conceiving. We were fortunate to have our son via in-vitro fertilization. Our attempts to have a second child were not successful. We always knew we wanted two kids and thus decided upon adoption to help complete our family. Each of us has cousins who have adopted, and they were welcomed with loving arms into our families. We cannot wait to do the same.
