Our Story
Preston and I have been together for 15 years and married for 9 of those years. During this time together we have proudly conquered many challenges, and each one has only made us stronger as a couple and more certain in our love and commitment to each other and our family.
Why We Want to Adopt
First, we want to thank you for taking the time to read a little about us and for considering us in such a monumental decision. We understand that this is not an easy journey, and we want you to know that we see your strength, courage, and love that it takes to travel this path. While writing this I feel like we are on a blind date, and I am hoping that somehow the words I write will make you want to get to know us and to eventually love us.
Our Life and Lifestyle
We are beyond excited to share our love with another child. Together we have an elementary age son, who is ready and eager to step into the role of “big brother”. Our home is filled with creativity, laughter, and little traditions. We cherish our nightly family dinners, hosting pool parties with our friends and family, and involving ourselves with our local community. We can’t wait to include our newest family member in all of it, the adventures, celebrations, and the everyday moments that mean the most.
Words cannot begin to express what a beautiful gift you would be granting us. We promise to love and protect them with everything that we have, to nurture their dreams, and to raise them in a home where they will always know that they are valued, safe, and cherished. Your courageous choice of love will forever be a part of their story, and we will always honor that.

Daniel and Tricia
United States
Your baby will become part of our everyday lives. As they grow, they will have so many adventures. They will have a lot of cousins and friends to play with, and a lot of family members who will want to hold them forever. We met 16 years ago while out with friends at a local bar. We had a mutual friend we were with that night. From there we went on dinner dates, nature walks and horseback ridings, and an engagement 6 months later. We were both in school and working to save for a wedding a year and a half later. We have always been hard-working individuals with a passion to start a family. We have built a strong foundation and beautiful life that we are eager to share with our future child. This consists of a strong support system, a safe home, and a quiet neighborhood. Daniel is a cardiac sonographer, and Tricia is a veterinary technician. We live with our loving dog, Dorothea.
Simon and Chelsea
England
We’re Chelsea and Simon, and we’re excited to start our family through adoption. We’re a warm, fun, slightly adventurous pair who love our home, our little everyday rituals, and the people around us. We’ve both always pictured a family filled with love, curiosity, and laughter, and we’re ready to give a child all the stability and joy we can. We don’t currently have children, and building a family hasn’t been a simple road for us. We explored different paths, including surrogacy, and eventually realized that biology wasn’t what mattered to us. What matters is creating a family based on love, connection, and commitment. Simon (French) & Chelsea (American) met on the app “OK Cupid” in Dublin, Ireland in 2018. We hit it off from our first date and had an instant connection. What surprised both of us was how different we were from each other, and yet how well we both understood each other so well. In 2021, we got a “PACS”, which is a civil union in France. In 2023, Chelsea proposed to Simon (and he said yes!). In 2025, we got married in a small and beautiful ceremony near our home in England. Simon spent most of his life living abroad before settling in the UK. He has travelled to more than 35 countries and loves discovering the world. He has a career in technology and volunteers as an emergency medical responder (EMT), one of his biggest passions. He also loves DIY and woodworking. Chelsea is American and a big animal lover, she’s been a vegetarian for 20 years. She works in nonprofit organizations around the world on issues like poverty and conflict. When she was 25, she moved to Ireland by herself. Having lived in New York City for years, she decided to finally go live abroad, a dream she had had all her life.
