Dear Friend,

Our names are Monica and Markus. We’re delighted to have the chance to reach out to you through this letter. This must be a time of mixed emotions and feelings for you. Perhaps one day, we’ll have the pleasure of speaking to you in person, but until then, we’d like to share our respect and admiration for your immensely difficult decision to place your baby for adoption. As adoptive parents, it would be our greatest joy to continue your legacy of pure love for your baby.

A happy and fun loving couple, we’ve been married for more than a decade. The two of us met while doing cancer research and we literally fell in love while experimenting thanks to a special centrifuge that was directly located next to Markus’ desk. Finding a cure for cancer has been a very significant and exciting part of our lives and a driving force at the core of our careers as a scientist (Monica) and doctor/surgeon (Markus). Monica is a native Italian while Markus is a native German. As you can imagine, in many ways the two of us are very similar and in others we are complete opposites, yet our friends say that we complement each other perfectly.

Our love for each other and our marriage represents the core around which our lives revolve. We enjoy each other’s company a lot and are not afraid to show our love and affection. Peace and serenity are at the core of our being together, in our home or wherever we go for business or pleasure.

Monica is an extrovert and a very positive person. Though she enjoys being with friends and people of all ages, what she treasures most is the comfort of our home and being surrounded by family. Monica always looks for solutions rather than dwelling on problems. Markus is fun loving and affectionate and is truly the joy of Monica’s life. Very much like his dad, he’s always a happy camper, positive no matter what and will undoubtedly be a great daddy who will share his many interests and joy for life with the child we adopt.

The two of us grew up in big, loving families, so for us there has never been a doubt about our desire to have a family and the commitment to create a family of our own. Being parents one day was not just a goal but always part of who we are. Our love for each other is something very special and we can’t wait to share it with the child we adopt. Monica is the second oldest of four children with two sisters and one brother, while Markus is the baby in his family of three brothers. Although our careers are important since they provide us with a comfortable life and financial security, family is our number one priority. Children really are terrific little people and Monica always enjoys being with them. For years she has volunteered to support disadvantaged children in various programs as a tutor. Currently, she helps children ages 6-15 with their school homework. Markus, on the other hand, treated children as part of his surgical training for many years. When we work and play with children, we always try to make them aware of their talents, their strengths and their incredible ability to learn. We want you to know that we will do the same with our child.

Business and pleasure travels have taken us around the globe to places like Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, Northern Africa and all over Europe. We have visited most of the United States and have also vacationed in the Caribbean several times. Hawaii is currently one of our favorite places to have fun and relax.

Monica’s favorite sport is swimming and Markus likes to do cardio and work out with weights. Monica swam competitively for many years and has kept it. She even transferred some of her love for the water to Markus. While he used to cycle a lot, his latest passion is kite-surfing. Although Monica started learning it herself, she is happy to play Markus’ assistant in launching his kite! The two of us also enjoy tennis and golf and have competed as a team in Make-a-Wish Foundation triathlons.

We live in a beautiful neighborhood in southern California. The beach and the ocean are only a short 15 minute ride away. The area around the house is surrounded by picturesque hills and mountains zigzagged with hiking trails. Our house has two stories, five bedrooms and is spacious, warm and welcoming. The patio includes a pool and BBQ, which we use throughout the year and a large lawn waiting for a swing set. Our house is furnished in warm colors and with cherry wood contemporary furniture. The first floor includes a large open area for the kitchen, dining area and family room, a library, a music room where Markus plays the piano and the saxophone, and a guest room. Next to the bedroom on the second floor is an already fully furnished baby’s room, an office and a well equipped gym. Since Monica is a painter, much of the art work on the walls of the house is hers, as well as the murals in the baby’s room. A very cute jungle scenery is depicted in that room with a giraffe, a smiling lion and a big, cuddly elephant.

As you might imagine, both of us are very excited about the prospect of welcoming a baby in our lives and we’re committed to being great parents. It is our wish to provide a safe home full of love, peace and laughter for a child. We plan to share our life experiences and our joy for life while planting the seeds for her/his successful future to the best of our abilities. Most of all, we will always encourage our child to fulfill her/his own dreams and passions.

We hope that our lives have intrigued you enough for you to want to know more about us! Please do not hesitate to call us toll free at 1-800-617-6326, or you can email us at mp20814@yahoo.com. We’d be delighted to talk to you by phone or to meet you in person! For detailed information about the adoption process and or about us, you can also call our attorney Dave Baum who is a wonderful person to talk to and he has a lot of knowledge and experience in all aspects of the adoption process. He can be reached toll free at 1-800-795-2367 or you can e-mail him at adoptlaw@ix.netcom.com.  Whatever choice you make, we wish you and your baby the very best.

Hello,

We are Nina and Jonathan.  Thank you for taking the time to get to know more about us.  We’re fortunate to enjoy a happy, fun life in Southern California with our son Max, our golden retriever, guinea pig, tortoise, canary, lovebird and two chickens.  The three of us don’t live on a farm, though that’s how many of our friends refer to our home!  Nina is an animal-loving biologist who studies sea birds and a college professor.  Jonathan never had pets growing up, but he’s making up for lost time.  He’s a good dog walker and the people he works with (as a political consultant) have become used to hearing the birds chirping and singing in the background when he speaks to them on the phone while working from our home.

We’ve lived in the foothills east of Los Angeles – for several years.  Ours is a five bedroom home on a quiet street with a big backyard and a tree house.   The first floor is very open with the kitchen, dining and living rooms all together, meaning that even when we’re each doing our own thing – reading, cooking, playing with toys – we’re usually together. There are also large windows overlooking the backyard with bird feeders, fruit trees and vegetable beds.  There’s a bedroom just waiting to be filled with the child who will complete our family.

Max was born on Christmas in 2004. The two of us always wanted to have more children. After some time, we found ourselves seeking infertility treatments but quickly came to the realization that we really wanted to adopt.   There is so much love in our hearts for another child.  Both of us are both close to our respective siblings (Nina has a brother and Jonathan has two sisters – one of whom lives in the area and has two little boys, Max’s cousins) and we know that Max will be a great big brother; he frequently tells us he really wants a sibling.

Nina is from Boston and every summer we spend time with her parents on the beaches of Cape Cod swimming, fishing, flying kites and building sandcastles.  Jonathan grew up in New Orleans, where his parents still live. The music and food from there are a big part of our lives and we return frequently to visit his family.  Last year, Max got to go with Jonathan to see a Saints football game and this year he got to experience the Mardi Gras parades.

Travel is an important part of our life.  Along with visiting our family members, we take an annual ski trip in Utah with several other families.  Max and Jonathan like to downhill ski and Nina loves cross country skiing. Through Nina’s work, she and Max were able to spend a month in Hawaii while she studied the island birds.  Jonathan came for a week so that we could enjoy a family vacation watching lava from the volcano pour into the ocean, snorkeling and kayaking.  We’ve visited Alaska, Montana, Maine, and have taken one family trip out of the country to Canada where we ate lots of maple syrup, went ice skating, snow shoeing and fulfilled our dream of dog sledding.

In addition to caring for the pets, Nina plays guitar, knits and loves to read.  She finds her work very fulfilling because she is a born teacher.  She and Max share a passion for raising guinea pigs and over the years, they’ve won many prizes for their beautiful long-haired pets.  The two of them have just started reading the Harry Potter books together. Nina has also learned how to handle the ropes for Max when he practices rock climbing at a climbing gym near our house.  Jonathan enjoys watching sports. A dedicated, lifelong Saints fan, Jonathan also roots for our local basketball and baseball teams.

Passionate about cooking, he makes a delicious barb-be-que dinner every Sunday night and often uses the vegetables we grow in our back yard.  His work is also very important to him – he helps run campaigns for people running for different government positions.  Together, we enjoy hiking, camping, trips to the beach and playing board games and often, we’re just happy to hang out together and watch a movie.

Our son attends a Montessori school a few miles from our home.  We all really like the school a lot.  On top of doing a great job with the basics, it is a “friendship school” where the kids treat each other nicely and with respect.  One of the things we like best about the school is that the older kids help teach the younger ones.   Max loves to visit the classrooms of the younger children to help them with lessons that he has already mastered. He also helps fold up the preschooler’s blankets after naptime. He enjoys being in the ‘big brother’ role so much and he will be great with a sibling.

Max about Mom and Dad and Being a Big Brother

My Mom is a really active person. I like to go bike riding with her. My Mom got me my bike and it is really cool. We bike to the candy shop or the ice cream store. My Mom reads to me at night. I like to go swimming with my Mom. I like to swim under her legs and do flips. Sometimes she tickles me like crazy.  My Dad plays Legos with me and puts on the movies that I like. I love going to New Orleans with him. I like to eat Snowballs there. Sometimes he does the voice of our dog inside her brain and it’s really funny. I like it when he bar-be-ques. He makes really good hamburgers and hotdogs.

I’m going to teach the baby to talk because babies don’t know how to talk. I need to teach the baby how to play checkers. I am looking forward to going to Alaska with my sister or brother. We are going to build an igloo and have a hot tub there.

Jonathan about Nina

At our wedding, I said that Nina was the most remarkable person I had ever known and that’s why I felt so lucky to be marrying and building a family with her.  Years later, I still believe that I was right. Nina cares about everyone she meets and always goes the extra mile for her family, friends, students or sometimes for people she barely knows.  An exceptional mother, she is patient and loves to be around kids.  Though she works at a college, she is really in her element with small children, teaching them about animals or coming up with fun games or activities.   Always curious and trying new things, she recently started taking a Latin dance class!   She can be pretty goofy and we laugh a lot.

Nina about Jonathan

Jonathan is a wonderful husband, an amazing father and he fully participates in all aspects of parenting. He can change diapers and make babies burp. Some of our friends call him “the baby whisperer.”  One thing I love about our family is that Max knows he can go to either Mom or Dad whenever he needs comforting; he gets so much love and attention from both of us. Jonathan has a wonderful talent for making little kids laugh. Recently he had all the kids and adults hysterically laughing at his antics on a trampoline at a kid’s birthday party. One of things that attracted me to him is that he has a really big heart –  he cries at the sad parts of movies.

More than anything else, we love being parents.  We’ve delighted in watching Max learn new things and helping him pursue his passions. Please know that if you choose us, we’ll do everything we can to provide all of the love we have for your child.  We want you to have peace of mind in knowing the child is loved and cared for.  If you would like to have an open adoption, we are willing to work with you to develop a plan that works for everyone involved, including providing pictures and updates on a regular basis.  If your decision is to not be involved after the adoption, we understand and support your decision.  Under any circumstances, we will make sure the child understands that you made your decision guided by love.

The two of us would be so happy to talk to you any time if you’d like to learn more about us.  Please call us toll-free, anytime, at 1-855-514-7133 or send us an email to SoCalFamLkn2Adopt@aol.com.  Also, if you have questions about the adoption process, please call our adoption attorney, Dave Baum (also toll-free) at 1-800-795-2367.  He is very experienced working with birth parents and adoptive families and he can answer questions about us, as well.

There’s so much we want you to know about us that can never be communicated in words.  We want, more than anything, to have another child in our family – to watch him or her grow and enjoy the limitless possibilities of life.  The three of us hope you’ll reach out to us if you think we’re the right adoptive family for your baby.

Yours very truly,
Nina, Jonathan, and Max

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. This must be a challenging time for you and I respect the importance of the decision you are about to make. I’d like to tell you a bit about my life and my hopes for welcoming a child into my home. Right now, I occupy the role of “cool aunt” to my nieces and to my close friends’ children. They all call me “Auntie Linda” and I love it. I work as a costume designer for TV and films, so I’m the neighborhood “go to person” for fall fashion advice, back to school trends and helping out with the school plays. Being the “cool aunt” is great but I would love being a mother so much more.

I want to walk the living room floor in the middle of the night singing to a baby until she falls asleep. I want to study the wonders of a ladybug and explain the workings of a cricket.  I want to run behind a wobbly bicycle holding onto the seat until she gets up the courage to shout “let go!” and rides on two wheels on her own.  I want to read colorful books to her until she falls asleep, to sew inventive Halloween costumes, I want her to tell me everything there is to know about her day. I want to take her to the zoo and watch the animals for hours. I want to answer the question “why” for years. Hear her laugh. Watch her grow. Teach her to be a great person. I want to be a parent.

My home is a large 4-bedroom Spanish style house in the canyons of Los Angeles minutes away from beautiful hiking trails that I explore daily. It’s just a short drive to the beach and not too far from Disneyland. My home is filled with lots of light, plants and animals. I have two great dogs who love children and respect babies. Every child that comes to my house gets a courtesy face and hand cleaning with doggie kisses. There is always music playing in the house, anything from jazz to pop. The kitchen is huge and filled with delicious organic food. I live in a gated community that closes off the streets during the holidays and has street fairs with bouncy houses for the neighborhood children.  There is also a gated pool and huge play structure near my house.  I have a perfect bedroom for the baby, very close to my room. It is such a calm, beautiful space, waiting to be filled with books, stuffed animals, toys and laughter. I just found a large Giraffe stencil to paint on the wall!

My career as a costume designer has taken me on so many adventures. I’ve worked on movies and television shows for 18 years, filmed in interesting locations and met so many talented people. During a movie we filmed in Australia, we were shooting outside in the beautiful sunshine and the whole sky opened up and it started pouring down rain. The cast was soaked in their beautiful costumes, but at the same time it was so magical. This career has opened up my world and the experiences have been priceless. I enjoy the creativity of making a wedding dress one week, a superhero costume next. I work close to home and have a large office with a nursery already available to me. My staff has been with me for over 10 years and they are like family and they too are excited to meet and spoil the new baby.

Family is also very important to me and I was lucky enough to have two families growing up. Although my parents divorced when I was nine, they quickly found their soul mates. These stepparents are more like wonderful supportive friends. My childhood was secure, fun and filled with days of exploring in Oregon with my two brothers. Although one is technically a half brother, to us, there is no difference between half and full, we love each other the same and we are very close.

What I remember most about my childhood is that my parents listened and encouraged us. They told us what we could dream, we could be. That made us feel like there was nothing outside of our grasp if we just worked hard and believed in ourselves. Education was always a priority. Feeding our imaginations through books and discussions were a constant in the house. I can’t wait to share with a child that same passion for life and learning. Together, we’ll explore any activity or subject she wants to know more about—everything from astronomy to history to her own personal heritage.

All of my friends are excited for me as well. A great mix of intelligent, funny and diverse people (some single, some married, some parents, some not), they are my “L.A. Family.” I’ve spent a great deal of time talking with the members of my L.A. Family who were adopted or placed babies for adoption to get a better understanding of their experiences. They are all eager to see me become a parent and I have more offers to baby-sit than I could ever need!

The opportunity to pursue many different interests has been one of life’s gifts to me.  I have been all over the world traveling and scuba diving. I ride horses and I’m very active in animal rescue. I have albums of photos from my trips to Greece, Australia, France, Germany, Poland, Fiji and Africa. Africa holds a special place in my heart that was passed on to me from my father. He began to travel there in the 1950’s and fell in love with the country. He use to go every year and take photos and tell us magical stories of his adventures. It will be wonderful to show a child the world, letting her explore far off places with me at her side to explain about different cultures, history and art.

Although it would be nice to marry someday, marriage is not a priority for me. I certainly won’t be dating for a long time once I have a child. Even then, I definitely would never consider making a commitment with any man that my child did not embrace in her life. Her needs come first. I anticipate a very full, complete life with a child. So, that’s me. I hope I‘ve given you a good picture of who I am. Know that I am grateful for the opportunity to share myself with you. Any child that I am privileged to raise will know how courageous and loving her mother was to choose adoption. I will do my best to help her become the strong, independent, happy person you would want her to become.

I’ve thought often of what this must be like for you but I can never truly know how you feel. You are in the emotional process of making a difficult choice for yourself and for your child. Please feel free to contact me to get to know me better by e-mail at Isakblix@aol.com or with my toll free number, which you can call anytime 1-877-294-8842 if you’d like. If you’re more comfortable speaking to my attorney David Baum, who is helping me with this endeavor, you can call him toll-free at 1-800-795-2367 or email him at adoptlaw@ix.netcome.com. I admire your courage on this journey of love and I wish the best for you and your baby—whatever decision you choose to make.

Hi,

My name is Debby, and I am excited to have to this opportunity to introduce myself, as a prospective Mom, to your baby. I can only imagine the difficult process you are going through. There must be so many things to consider when choosing an adoptive family for your baby.       Unfortunately, I have not been able to have a child of my own and I realize that adoption is a great gift that can be given to myself and many others.  It is an amazing solution for you, the baby, and adoptive parents. I have been trying to adopt for a while, and I strongly feel and believe that the right child and the right time will come.

I live in Southern California, in a two story, four bedroom home with a great yard.  My neighborhood is safe, friendly, and filled with children and the community has great schools, churches, and several parks. One of the bedrooms is already designated as the baby’s room and is just waiting for the finishing touches of color which will depend on whether the baby is a boy or girl.  The “playroom” is ready to go, with a playhouse that you can sleep in, climb through, use as a fort, or just spend quiet time inside.  There are shelves filled with toys and small furniture that a child will love!!

My yard has plenty of room for a swing set, or jungle gym, a game of tag, kickball, and a game of basketball.  The large patio is big enough for a scooter, roller skates, chalk drawings, or jumping rope and is enclosed for privacy and safety.  My home rests on a cul-de-sac, which is perfect for learning to ride a bike!!  I have horses that are stabled 5 miles away, which are amazing pets, and great to ride. We just had an addition to our horse family, a filly!!  I look forward to teaching my child how to ride.  It is one of my favorite hobbies.

I have my Master’s Degree in Business Management (MBA) which nurtured my abilities in business, management, marketing, and creating new businesses.  After college, I furthered my skills in legal marketing and then retail marketing.  My interest peaked in dental marketing and management and I worked my way to owning a dental clinic.  I was always afraid of going to the dentist, and now I make it my goal to make it a pleasant experience for children.  The dental office allows me the financial security and ability to stay at home and to be a full time mother to my child which is my dream!

Having started dancing at age 3, I have never lost my passion for dancing and, in fact, I have been dancing ever since.  All of my sisters danced and I loved being a big girl with them.  After college I studied for and received my Master’s degree in dance.  Ballet, Tap, Jazz, and Modern dance were all a part of the curriculum.  I taught dance for years and absolutely enjoyed it.  Seeing the happiness it brought to children and adults in my classes was always exciting.  Now I have become a competitive dancer in all types of ballroom dance such as cha-cha, rhumba, waltz, swing, quick step, etc.

I am passionate about taking care of, and being with my horses, dogs, and cat.  I enjoy singing — my sister and I were the main singers of our band, which included pop, oldies, country, and even Polkas (which we were brought up with!)  Being an avid runner, I run about 30 miles a week and enjoy playing sports such as recreational or family games of football, soccer, tennis, ice hockey, kickball and catch with the small children.  Aside from sports, one of my favorite things to do is to bake!!  I am known to my family, friends, and neighbors, as the “Best Baker Ever”!!!  I take pleasure in making cakes, cupcakes, cookies, brownies and anything chocolate is my specialty!

I come from a family of 6 brothers and 4 sisters. Yes, eleven of us!  Their careers include television casting and producing, lawyers, pilot and aviation expert, national director of mediation, fitness expert for professional sports, and scientific researcher.  Our amazing parents brought us up with tremendous love, taught us respect, and we came to cherish the strong significance of family. We were raised with strong values of integrity, honesty, loyalty, love of life, and of each other.  They taught us to work hard, yet to never forget to see life through a child’s eyes, and to live life to the fullest. My Dad always said “Laughter, Love, and Hugs.”  My brothers and sisters and I are very close and we all are supportive of each other. We are still one big happy family!

My family now has grown to include 6 nieces and 6 nephews, all ranging from 2 months to 23 years old. The cousins all are very involved in competitive sports like baseball, soccer, football, hockey, and basketball. They also love music, fashion, art, and science.  All of the cousins feel that they are more like brothers and sisters with each other, than just simply “cousins.”  A new baby would be loved and adored by all of his/her new big “sisters and brothers.”

One of my summertime traditions is traveling to the town where I grew up in New York, and bringing my 5 year old niece and 9 year old nephew along.  The three of us spend two weeks between the homes of my three brothers and their families.  We all enjoy my brother’s horse ranch; riding horses, fishing, boating, hiking, riding 4 wheelers, camping out, playing games of tag, having water fights, and eating ice cream, and making s’mores over the campfire.  Once the two weeks are over, there are no tearful goodbyes, as I bring all of my nephews and nieces back with me so they can spend the rest of the summer together in my home.

In my life I have been able to enjoy many things and to share much love, but I have yet to experience the greatest joy and dream — to become a Mom.  I hope you will consider me to be a parent for your baby.  I would like to comfort you, and assure you that I will be open to sending pictures and letters, keeping you updated on the progress of your baby and will also respect your privacy and your future life ahead.

If you would like to talk to me, you can reach me by email at, debbym@ymail.com, or call me toll free anytime at 1-877-833-1118.  You can also get more information about me and about the adoption process from my attorney, Dave Baum, who you can always call toll free at 1-800-795-2367, or you can email him at adoptlaw@ix.netcom.com.  I wish you the best, and hope that we can help each other.

Hello,

We are Marie and Rob. Thank you for allowing us to introduce ourselves. Although, our road before choosing adoption has had its disappointments, we’ve found along the way that our experience with infertility actually helped us realize that becoming adoptive parents is a perfect fit. Not only will we have the chance to fulfill our dream of having a family together, we will also have the opportunity to help someone who is facing what must be a difficult decision to say the least. It is our hope that by getting to know us you’ll gain some peace of mind as you make your adoption plan.

We recently celebrated our 14^th wedding anniversary. Our time together has flown by. It’s funny, there are even times when folks look at us like we are crazy when we tell them how long we’ve been together. We always find this strange and feel all the more grateful that we were fortunate enough to meet the right soul mate when we did. Together we share a great bond built not only on love but mutual respect, support, and honesty. It’s with this foundation that we hope to bring a newborn baby into our family.

We live in a beautiful and upscale neighborhood. Many of the new homeowners here are young, upcoming families with children and new babies. Our community is lined with magnolia trees and a park at the end of our block. Our neighborhood is noted for it’s top rated schools, and is near beaches and other child friendly places. The house is large with three bedrooms and a newly re-designed private deck, off of our living room. Our deck has proudly become the sight of our family’s July 4^th BBQs and alfresco dinners with friends.

As a couple we share well-established careers and family roots in the movie, TV and entertainment industries. Marie is the 4th generation on her father’s side of her family to work in the film industry. She now works as an editor on many major studio movies, collaborating with directors and producers, overseeing the editing room, and as a visual effects editor too. She has recently turned her skills toward writing her own projects.  Rob has been a musician since the age of nine and is now a successful TV and film composer, who’s musical work can be heard on Television sets and in theaters across the globe.

Our careers afford us the luxury of flexible schedules and the ability to create our own work environments. Rob has his recording studio right here in our home, and music of all styles fills our walls and home. Most of Marie’s editing and writing projects can be done right off of her laptop. With neither of us having to travel to an office every day a baby will be brought up and nurtured in a constant and stable environment, having hands on parents there to truly co-parent.       

Outside of all things movie and work related, Marie practices ballet regularly, a hobby she began in adolescence. She also spends her free time at the gym taking yoga classes and running on the treadmill. A self-proclaimed Food Network addict, Marie enjoys all things pasta but is also known to whip up a mean fruit pie in the summer, along with pumpkin and pecan pies during the fall and winter holidays. Oh and not to forget, she is the proud owner of a pretty impressive closet of shoes and designer clothes. Shopping is a passion!!! Most of Rob’s spare time is spent practicing the many instruments he plays as well as listening to and studying all styles of music. When he ducks away from music Rob can usually be found at the gym jogging, inevitably watching the news, and keeping up on current events.  Aside from music, at a young age Rob developed a fascination with American politics and to this day is an avid reader on the subject. Our backgrounds and creative lives together will ensure that a baby’s life will be a full one; enriched by education with a very strong appreciation for music, film, and the arts.

The two of us love to travel. We have extended family and friends in NYC and Connecticut.  We spend a week or two each year working there, visiting friends and relatives, and frequenting favorite restaurants. In addition, we try to take two vacations a year, usually to places like Hawaii, which indulge our active lives and love of sea life. When there we go running, hiking, surfing, and snorkeling. Rob was raised near the ocean and he often spent his time before and after school surfing. Marie was always more about the tan and the sand. An introduction to the movie “Jaws” at a very young age, and then later the shark itself (when her grandfather showed her the mechanical creature on a sound stage at work) didn’t help either. It’s taken some coaxing for sure but between her trust for Rob and her love of Honu, baby Hawaiian sea turtles, she’s no longer just a sunbather!

Every summer at our favorite hotel in Hawaii, the staff releases several baby sea turtles, into the wild.  These are babies that the hotel staff has nurtured for the previous 12 months. Then, when they’re big enough, they get to swim free into the beautiful blue Pacific. It’s a ceremony that hundreds of local residents and tourists attend. When we were at this momentous celebration, we couldn’t stop ourselves from thinking about the possibility of one day going to Hawaii each and every year to share this tradition with our own family.

But we don’t spend all of our time out of town. We also love to be in our home, especially at the holidays. We traditionally host Thanksgiving dinner in our home. Our friends and family gather around our large dining table enjoying the dishes cooked up by Marie, often with a bit of a French twist; and of course there’s the desserts. Rob often sets the mood by putting together a play list of his favorite jazz tunes for the holiday gathering.

In December garlands are hung, some covered in ornaments to help ring in the Christmas season. As mentioned, we both come from Italian backgrounds so it is our tradition to celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve. This event is often held at Marie’s mother’s home, which includes hours of gift exchanges, more holiday decorations, and of course lots and lots of food; a huge spread with pizza, pasta and all the Italian fixin’s.

All the food and fun aside it is also incredibly important to us not only to provide a beautiful and nurturing home but also a safe living space for a baby. During our fertility treatments we began gathering books, and information, and creating inspirational boards. We have bookmark folders on our computers and paper files that are filled with photos of beautifully decorated nurseries and toddler rooms with cribs, high chairs, changing tables, car seats, a designer baby stroller or two not to mention lots and lots of baby clothes. As a couple, it is our belief to be open-minded and thoughtful of others.

We strongly believe that no human being should ever treat another in a way that he or she would not want to be treated themselves. This is a sentiment shared by our family and friends. The baby we adopt will be welcomed into a warm and embracing environment including grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, a great grandmother, great aunts and uncles.

We’re fully aware that you will need much more than this tiny snapshot of our lives to make your decision.

Hello,

We are Ecole and Eric, filled with hope and enthusiasm in starting our family through adoption. You too must be filled with much emotion in this process of finding an adoption plan for your newborn. Please allow us to share with you a bit of who we are. Our romance began in 1999 with a crush, and after years of developing a loving relationship and respected friendship, a wedding followed in 2005. Committed to our marriage through life’s obstacles and joy, we eagerly await the dream to become parents.

We delayed starting our family, choosing to spend several years concentrating on our careers and remodeling our home, Both of us had faith that when the time came, if pregnancy wasn’t an option for us, we could adopt.  We have no regrets about the decisions we have made, knowing our journey has led us to this moment, and we’re proud of our accomplishments. But we can’t wait to welcome a baby into our home and lives.

Ecole grew up in the mid-west and has fond memories of family, friends, pets, summer camp, and horseback riding. Heading west for college and eventually settling in California, she has made her life here professionally and personally. Working on TV commercials for years was a rewarding career, especially by the enriching experiences of traveling internationally to film locations. 8 years ago she was ready for a change that would allow more time to nurture her personal life. Combining her lifelong love of horses with the passion to start her own business, Ecole opened her doors for retail. The business is just 5 minutes down the road, and she is able to work from home and take days off when needed. She continues to ride horses and play tennis recreationally.

Eric is a California boy true and through. Born and raised here, he is equally comfortable on the beach, in the mountains or in the desert. Eric’s work includes designing and building the props and movie sets that you see in movies, TV shows, commercials, and music videos like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, NCIS, Friends, Las Vegas, The Office, My Name is Earl, Biggest Loser, Ford Trucks, Gatorade, Pink, Gwen Stefani, and Toby Keith. 15+ years of hard work and success he’s doing what he still loves. Playtime for Eric is spent on his motocross bike, riding off-road on local trails and tracks. You can also find him in the jam room, rocking out on the drums.

Ecole and Eric’s family live nearby, and we all get together frequently to have dinner, celebrate birthdays and holidays. Our parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews are an important part of our life. We currently have eight nieces and nephews under the age of five that will be cousins and extended family to our adopted child.  Two sets of grandparents are standing by and can hardly wait to open their hearts and arms to a newborn.

Without mentioning our dog, the picture of our life wouldn’t be complete. Sam Boots is 4 years old, a yellow lab, and is as silly as his name suggests. He’s sweet and gentle, and ready to welcome more love and play into our home. Showering him with the love and adoration he deserves, we are rewarded daily with his wagging tails and free kisses.

Our 3-bedroom ranch style home is nestled in a beautiful valley surrounded by mountains in Southern California. One of the rooms is reserved for the baby, but we haven’t decorated it yet. Our park like yard has a wonderful lawn, big shade trees, and colorful flowers. Sitting on our front porch with our feet up, we unwind in the evenings in the peace of our quiet cul-de-sac street. Together at home we enjoy cooking, BBQ, and always dessert! The sounds of country music, pop, rock, R&B, jazz, reggae, and really any good tune often fill our home.

Getting out, we bike to our local park for free concerts or escape the summer heat and head to the beach! In the winter a short drive will get us to the snowy mountains where we snowboard and enjoy the scenic beauty of the forest and lakes. We try to take 1-2 vacations each year, for the adventure and to recharge our batteries

Our desire is to provide a child a safe, secure and loving home. Education is a top priority and we have the intention of guiding our children through school and a college degree. Travel opportunities will be presented for the adventure and awareness to other cultures. Both of us will encourage our child to experience the arts through music, crafts and dance. We’ll support opportunities to participate in sports and other activities, but mostly we want to raise children who feel independent to explore and trust us to catch them if they fall. The two of us will guide our child through example of honest values and strong ethics. Love, happiness, structure, spontaneity, humor, discipline, education, and family is just an idea of what we have to offer..

We hope that you will choose to know more about us. Please call us anytime toll-free at 1-855-290-8111, or we’ll promptly answer email ecole.eric@yahoo.com. If you want more information about the adoption process itself or about us, our attorney Dave Baum can help. You can call him toll free at 1-800-795-2367 or email him at adoptlaw@ix.netcom.com. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We hope that you have a peaceful pregnancy, knowing your choice in adoptive parents will bring your child and an awaiting family the greatest gift you can give – life.

Hello,
My name is Lyn.  I am a single woman living in New York City.  I work in the movie industry, mostly in the New York area, but sometimes around the country and overseas.  I had always hoped to get married and have a family with children to love and nurture and although I am still open to meeting the right man, I know in my heart that I am ready to share my love with a child and that adoption is the answer to my dream of becoming a mother.

I grew up on Long Island about an hour outside the city with my parents, an older brother and a younger sister.  We are a close family and are very involved in each other’s lives, often vacationing together.  My sister lives in Maryland with her husband, a daughter and two sons, and my brother, his wife and their two daughters now live in the house we grew up in — a house my father designed and built.  After my father passed away a few years ago, my mother downsized to an apartment right off the main house.  I spend a great deal of time out there, especially in the summer enjoying the pool with the kids.

My father’s parents were immigrants from a small island off Croatia and I grew up surrounded by their rich accents and traditional cooking.  Our large family has always stayed in touch with our European relatives and I helped organize a family reunion in Croatia in 2007 with over 40 people making the trip.  It was such a success we are planning another one for the summer of 2013.  My mother comes from a big Irish-German Catholic family as she was one of five sisters and a brother.  We all get together often for holidays and for our annual summer beach party.

My brother, sister and I grew up with the arts, education, and athletics being very important.  We all played sports and the next generation continues this tradition with soccer, basketball, track, gymnastics, skiing and golf.  I played soccer in a city Irish women’s league for years and I currently stay in shape with running and workouts at my local Y.  I also continue to have great interest in all the arts.  My father in particular instilled in me a love of architecture and design, both in houses and gardens.  With his help I designed and renovated three of my apartments.  The arts continue to be an important part of my life, and most of my friends have at least one foot in the creative world.

At Penn State, my father and brother’s alma mater, I studied art and film and recently I had the pleasure of being invited back to guest teach several film classes.  After graduating, I moved to New York where I made my way into the movie business.  Initially, I worked in the Art Department helping with the design of the sets, but for most of my career I worked as a scout in the Locations Department finding the real sites needed for the different scenes.  In 2004 I was the Location Manager on Steven Spielberg’s “War of the Worlds” and since then I’ve often worked on action films including, “Bourne Ultimatum,” “The Taking of Pelham 123,” and “American Gangster.”  A few years ago, I made a career move up the ladder and became a Production Manager, a position that gives me more flexibility to take on less work when I do become a parent.  In this capacity I’ve worked on such films as “Eat, Pray, Love” and last summer’s “Salt” with Angelina Jolie.  It was inspiring to see Angelina, the most famous adoptive parent in the world, be such a supportive mother while she continued to work – including doing some crazy stunts!

Travelling is another one of my passions and I have been to many beautiful and interesting places around the world.  Some trips are for work, but most are through a network of friends and family scattered about the globe.  I also have close friends who work on the Olympics and I’ve often been able to tag along with them when the games are held every two years.  I’ve been to Greece, Croatia, France, Italy, Austria, England, Scotland, Thailand, China, Canada, Mexico and just this past winter I went to Argentina.  Every trip has been an adventure and has given me great insight into what a diverse, wonderful, and often complicated world we live in.

Living in New York City is wonderful.  I can’t wait to share with my child all the fantastic things about my hometown: the culture, the diversity, the excitement, the food, and the great people.  I’ve lived all over the city, but I’ve always felt the most at home in Brooklyn with its family oriented neighborhoods and more laid back pace.  So four years ago, I bought a very old and very sweet little brick townhouse in Brooklyn with a big garden in the back.  Though in rough shape when I got it, I had a lot of fun renovating.  I knocked down walls on the ground floor to create an open plan for the living room and kitchen, but on the second floor I left the two bedrooms intact.  The baby’s room is in the back overlooking the garden.
My backyard has a barbecue and a large table for entertaining, and a small lawn which will be perfect place for the baby to play.  I’m in an historic area with great schools and I was thrilled to find a house directly across the street from a park with two beautiful children’s playgrounds, a dog run, and a bandshell for summer concerts.

I am so fortunate to be surrounded by loving family and friends who are so supportive.  One of my closest friends was adopted herself and quite a few of my friends, family and acquaintances have adopted.  I have seen the happiness it has brought them and I am eager to bring that same happiness to a child, and to experience the rewards of being a parent.  I am a positive, energetic person with a lot of love to give and I can’t wait for the opportunity to become a mother and to share all my blessings with a daughter or son.  I hope that after reading my letter you will consider me as a possible adoptive parent for your child.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you’d like to get some more information about me.  You can call me anytime toll-free at 1-877-335-7924 or email me at elpefour@mindspring.com.  If you’d like to talk to someone else about me, you can call my attorney, Dave Baum, who is helping me realize my dream of becoming a mother.  He can be reached toll-free at 1-800-795-2367 and by email at adoptlaw@ix.netcom.com.  Thank you very much for reading my letter, I hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Special Person,

We are so thankful that you are considering adoption, and the two of us hope that our story will help you get to know us and help you make the best decision for you and your child.  We are Yvonne and Paul. We live in a cozy suburb of San Francisco in a neighborhood full of young children, within walking distance of several parks and a short drive from the beach.  It’s been such fun with our sons Adrian (10) and Gregory (7), both of whom joined our family through adoption, that we are eager to adopt again and share our love with another child.

The two of us met while we were both at Stanford; Paul in the electrical engineering graduate school and Yvonne in the law school. After our first meeting at a Thanksgiving dinner, put on by our church, we talked for hours.  She liked Paul’s quirky sense of humor — he made up funny limericks and haikus about everything from parking the car to burning toast — and she liked that he really listened to her.  He enjoyed being able to talk with Yvonne easily and was glad she shared his sense of adventure.

Yvonne grew up in Albuquerque with three sisters — her mom had her hands full while her dad worked two jobs to support their large family.  Her mom took the girls weekly to the library, and she continues to be an avid reader.  Her greatest passions are still books — mysteries, thrillers and literature — and music.  Her favorite popular writers are P.D. James, Elizabeth George, John LeCarre and Stephen King, and she enjoys music ranging from classical guitar to Loreena McKennitt’s haunting Celtic ballads.  Piano lessons and recitals taught Yvonne how to perform before a group of people and how to keep going even if she made a mistake.  Sharing her love of music with our children is very important to her.

After several years at a San Francisco law firm as a litigation attorney, Yvonne took a job in-house at a large semiconductor manufacturing company and now loves working as a legal “problem-solver” for her corporate clients.

Growing up in Michigan, Paul’s love of the outdoors began early amid the snow in winter and shady forests in summer.  His father worked as an engineer and his mother stayed home to raise him and his brother, but when they got older she returned to her previous career writing and teaching English.  Paul’s parents have since moved to Maryland where the large Italian side of the family live, and we return for periodic reunions with hundreds of relatives attending, cooking meatballs and indulging in general merriment.

Working first as an engineer and then as a manager and director at several young computer networking companies, Paul loves the thrill of putting new businesses together.  He is currently working part-time as a software consultant while co-developing new technologies as a basis for several ventures.  At home, Paul is a great cook, and the kids share his enthusiasm, often helping out with the family pizza recipe or preparing the vegetables.  He’s currently renovating our garden beds so we’ll have fresh beans and peppers again soon.

San Francisco’s theaters and museums are easy to get to, either by a quick drive or a fun trip on the train.  Last year’s A Christmas Carol from the front row was enthralling, and the Exploratorium, with its innovative hands-on exhibits, engages all the senses.  A recent ice-skating party led to the discovery of two ice rinks nearby and rekindled Paul’s boyhood interest in the sport.  For more serene activities, the tide pools are full of colorful anemones and sea stars, and there is great hiking at the local nature preserve in springtime when the air is thick with sage and the meadows are blanketed by orange poppies and purple clover.  In the summer, we stroll to the park for weekly concerts, where we picnic and the children dance and play on the playground.  On hot days we drive a short trip to the beach to cool off and buy fish fresh right off the boats.

In the summer and fall, the farmers’ market operates on Saturday mornings, and the boys ride in their wagon while we stock up on vegetables and fruit for the week.  Our return path takes us through a redwood grove at the century-old high school campus where the four of us often stop to snack and play before the walk home.

In our large back yard, the boys enjoy picking the plums and blackberries that grow each summer, riding the swing, and playing with their friends from the neighborhood under the shade of the sycamore.  We like our location, and are making plans to remodel and expand.  Our home currently has three bedrooms (one is occupied by our sons and another is prepared for a new baby), a family room off the kitchen area, and dining and living rooms.

Our warm, caring circle of friends and relatives have many children= among them, and we get together often.  Some of the more memorable recent activities included a trip to Oregon with Paul’s family, our pumpkin-carving party last Halloween, our camping trip with two other families from the kids’ school, and recent visits to/from Yvonne’s family.

Adrian, our oldest son, likes school and is in the fourth grade. He enjoys playing the cello (as well as building with Legos and playing baseball with his friends).  Gregory is in the second grade and has just begun playing the piano. He likes backgammon and puzzles when he’s not outside shooting hoops.  We have had a great relationship with the boys’ birth parents and we hope to have that experience with you too.  Both children are excited about the prospect of a new baby sister or baby brother joining our family.

The goals of our marriage are to cherish each other and to give our children the love, nurturing, and education essential for them to become fulfilled, responsible adults.  We both look forward to sharing our interests with our children and helping them discover their own special talents.  Believing that having a parent at home with a child in the early years is very important, Yvonne’s freelance work as an attorney made it possible for her to remain home with both of our children for several years; this past year she has been working a heavier schedule while Paul’s flexible time as a consultant has enabled him to stay home with the boys.  Yvonne anticipates winding down at work to be a full-time mother again if another child blesses our lives.

Both of us want to raise children secure in the knowledge that they are loved by their family and their birth parents.  We hope that’s how you’d want your baby to grow up, too.  If you entrust your child to us, we will love and cherish this greatest gift with all of our hearts.  Please consider us if you are contemplating adoption for your baby.  If you’d like to get to know us better, please call us anytime toll free at 1-888-232-8713.  If you prefer, you can contact our attorney, Dave Baum, toll-free at 1-800-795-2367 or e-mail him at adoptlaw@ix.netcom.com.  Dave is very friendly and he can answer any questions you might have about the adoption process or about the two of us.

We know you want to make the best decision possible for your baby’s life, and whatever you decide, we wish the best for you both.

To A Very Special Person,

Hi, we’re Marcia and Paul.  Because of someone as courageous and giving as you, we have something special to believe in—a family of our own.  We truly know what a selfless and unique individual you are and have the greatest respect for you and the adoption plan you are making for your baby.  Thank you for considering us.

We’ve been married for 8 years, and thankfully our life together has been pretty wonderful with almost all we could dream of, except for one very important part: a baby.  We’ve been trying since 2004, and although we’re unable to have a child biologically, it’s made us stronger and more determined to be the loving parents we so badly want to become.  We have several friends and family members with adopted children and they are the most happy and beautiful families ever.  It was an easy choice for us to make.

We met on a movie set in 1997, where Marcia was the Set Decorator, and Paul was the Assistant Director. Conversation came so easily, we talked for hours on end. We discovered how similar we were, as well as our life goals, and best of all, we made each other laugh—really laugh. We’ve been each other’s soul mate and best friend ever since. The two of us were married in Palm Springs, in 2002 surrounded by family and friends.

About a year after we met, we decided to leave the movie business to work and succeed together and start our own business. Since 1999, our company has designed custom lighting to the interior design trade and we love it. The success of the business allows us to live comfortably; the greatest advantage of all is we set our own schedule. Marcia looks forward to being a full time mom while Paul manages the office, working a few days from home too, it’s ideal to welcome a baby into our lives.

Marcia is the most loving and compassionate person I’ve ever met, I know she’ll be an amazing mom. There’s a kindness about her in all she does. I’ve watched her motherly instincts come out instantly whenever children are around—they flock to her.  When she patiently tutored young, dyslexic children to read, she put her heart into every one of those kids. She’s intelligent, witty and playful too, and isn’t afraid to be silly. I can honestly say I love her more each day and am truly a better man because of her.

Almost all of Marcia’s family lives in Southern California, where she grew up.  Holidays are always a blast, especially Christmas—tons of kids and family with everyone laughing and the kids having the greatest time.  It’s “Christmas mayhem” when the gifts come out because of the explosion of laughter and wrapping paper!  It’s so fun, but what Marcia wants more than anything is a child of our own to be part of it.  She’s very close to her mom, who lives in West Virginia, and we see her a couple times each year. She can’t wait to be a Grandma and start “knitting some booties.”

Marcia is very creative and believes “anything is possible,” especially for her child. She attended Art Center College of Design where she studied fine art and design.  With her love of antiques and decorating she went on to become an Emmy-nominated Set Decorator while at CBS. She loves animals, especially snuggling with our two cats Simon and Lulu, who she taught to fetch—seriously.  It’s pretty funny to wake up with a toy mouse or fluffy ball balanced on your head. She enjoys photography, bike riding, collecting children’s books and loves to cook—she makes a killer pumpkin chiffon pie for Thanksgiving. In fact, I like to joke she’s such a great cook, she could go into the kitchen with a cardboard box and a piece of string and come out with a gourmet meal!

Paul is an amazing man and he’ll be an incredible father. I love him so much and am proud to call him my husband. He is strong yet thoughtful, always such a gentleman and a romantic; opening doors, pulling out chairs—he still brings me flowers all the time. On one of our first dates, he played the piano and sang, “She’s Got A Way About Her” by Billy Joel and my heart just melted. It’s been our song ever since. He’s also the funniest person I know, and makes me laugh when I least expect it—I absolutely love that.

Born in Southern California, Paul attended UC Santa Barbara. Louis, his older brother, lives in Berlin and visits the States at least twice a year. He’s very close to his parents who live 10 minutes away in a lovely home with a huge backyard and pool, where many family barbeques take place with friends and family. They’ll be loving, doting grandparents and can’t wait. A camp counselor for 8 years, Paul taught kids sportsmanship, how to play well and share with others.  Paul is always the first to jump into any game and it’s such a riot to watch him crawling on the ground playing “monster” with them. They adore him and he can’t wait to be a dad!

As a couple, we enjoy the beach, playing tennis, going to movies, having Ping Pong tournaments and riding our bikes. We love a great hike in the fresh mountain air and nothing beats a warm campfire with smores and spooky stories. Travel is also a passion of ours—over the summer, we went to London, Paris and Rome. We saw such beauty and all along kept whispering to each other, “we’re going to bring our kids here!”

We dream about taking our son or daughter camping in Big Bear, or to a Lakers game.  We look forward to holding their hand and standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon. We believe a child’s life should be filled with unconditional love, support and tons of laughter, always knowing Mom and Dad are there for them no matter what.

Our home has 3 bedrooms, 2½ baths and is walking distance to the beach. It’s a happy home the moment you walk through the front door, filled with sunlight. The baby’s room is almost done, with a crib, furniture, toys and books awaiting a sweet little someone. Our neighborhood is family oriented with kids of all ages. There are 3 beautiful parks close by, huge Farmer’s Markets with a petting zoo and all kinds of kids’ activities. The beach has a Pier with rides, games and kids’ concerts. Our schools are award winning, the best in California, and the main reason we chose our neighborhood.

We would like to keep in touch if you wish. We’d send photos and letters so you can know how your baby is doing. Your child will always know how much he/she is loved by you and of your loving choice. We promise to love your baby with all our heart and soul.

Thank you for taking time to learn more about us, we would be honored to be part of your adoption plan. If you choose to make this journey with us, we assure you that your child will be welcomed with open arms into a loving family with an abundance of unconditional love. We welcome you to contact us toll free anytime at 1-877-552-2280 or by email at marciaandpaul@gmail.com. You can also contact our adoption attorney Dave Baum, at 1-800-795-2367 or by email at adoptlaw@ix.netcom.com. We sincerely wish you all the best and hope to hear from you soon.

To a Very Special Lady,

We are excited to begin this journey to meet you.  Our hearts are full of admiration and respect for the loving and selfless gift of life you are giving to the child you carry and we wish to honor that love by providing a warm, nurturing and loving family for your baby. Nothing could make us happier than to welcome your baby into our family.

We are Kathy and Bill. The two of us met at a football social at church and dated for two years before our great romantic trip to Paris, where Bill proposed at sunset on a beautiful golden bridge. We were married the following year, and in 2003 we were blessed by the birth of our son, Alex. When we first set out together, we had hoped for a big family so that our children could enjoy the wonderful experiences that we had growing up with brothers and sisters. But sadly, we are unable to carry another pregnancy to term. Still, our hearts yearn for another child to love and we are excited to grow our family through the blessing of adoption. Becoming a mom and dad has brought out the best in each of us and brought so much joy into our lives. We feel that our hearts and our home have a whole lot of extra love to share. As experienced parents, we’ll provide your baby with lots of love and hugs, tons of laughter and joy, kisses for boo-boos and fun adventures.

The two of us are financially stable and responsible.  Our home is a two-story, three bedroom, two bath, Cape Cod style house, a mile from the water in a southern California beach community. The house feels cozy and tranquil, and is a popular gathering place for play-dates with the neighboring kids.

Together, we make a great cooking team and enjoy hosting backyard barbecues, beach outings, and trips up to the mountains with our friends and their children. The neighborhood is filled with families from many cultures, and we enjoy sharing each others traditions. On a warm summer day, all you have to do is turn on a hose or sprinkler and a team of children will start to play, grown-ups will gather ’round and an impromptu block party begins.

Although Bill spends his workdays as an electrical engineer designing communications satellites, his true passion lies in taking pictures of friends and family, especially the kids. Bill is very handy and can fix anything from appliances to plumbing. He is easy going, loving, kind-hearted and an affectionate father. We often visit Bill’s family in Ohio in the summer and the cousins, aunts and uncles all have a great time hosting barbecues and taking the kids to fun places like the zoo, the city pool or the bowling alley, or just catching fireflies in the back yard!

Kathy’s friendly, big-hearted and outgoing personality make her a natural choice for block party captain. She enjoys bringing people together, welcoming new neighbors, and organizing playdates. Though she grew up in New Jersey, Kathy rallies her family together for reunions in Hawaii, Palm Springs, Las Vegas and the Victorian seaside town of Cape May. While Kathy volunteers in the classroom and loves looking after little ones, her heart is happiest when our home is full of the laughter of children. Kathy grew up speaking Spanish and spent summers visiting her grandmother and cousins in Spain.

In her work as a psychologist, Kathy has a way of always finding the silver lining and seeing the best in people. When the baby comes, Kathy plans to take an extended leave. She is blessed with having the option of returning to work part-time at the public mental health clinic, but being a mom is her first priority!

Alex is currently into Star Wars and Legos and likes to play soccer and basketball. He has always been a happy boy who gets along easily with classmates and friends, both girls and boys. Alex longs to be a big brother so he can have someone to love and protect and play with his whole life long. He and his dad enjoy playing silly games and exploring the shoreline at the beach; he also likes to help mom cook.

We’d be happy to provide you with reassurance, updates and photos if that is what you want. We want this child to know as much about you as you are comfortable sharing, your personality, likes and interests …but the two of us also want to respect your privacy. Above all, we want this child to know of your great and self-less love.

Thank you for taking the time to read our letter. We are honored that you are considering us as a family for your baby. If you would like to know more about us you can call us toll-free at 888-774-7321 or email us at KatandBill@verizon.net. You are also welcome to call our attorney, Dave Baum, who is happy to answer your questions at no cost to you. He can be reached toll-free at 1-800-795-2367 or you can email him at adoptlaw@ix.netcom.com.

We wish you all the best,
Kathy Bill and Alex
