Our Life and Lifestyle
We want to assure you that when we welcome a child into our home and extended family through adoption, they will be loved unconditionally. We will share openly with them about the unique way they joined our family and about their birth parent(s) in the most honoring way. We value as much openness as possible, for the benefit of the child, to be communicated in a loving and caring way. We will never disregard their unique ethnic and cultural background, but rather we will celebrate that part of their identity as they grow. It's our priority to nurture and care and support this child and see them thrive throughout their life. We can't wait to meet this special little person and learn who they are.
Our hearts are ready and excited to love and provide a safe, affectionate home for your child. Elias, Oliver and Ivy are already dreaming of all the ways they can play and care for their new brother or sister. We are very open to having post-adoption contact with you as your child grows if you desire that. If you decide to place your baby in our family, know that you will always be carried in our hearts and a vital part of our baby's life story.

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.
