Hello,

We have known each other since 1997, dating since 1999, and have been happily married since 2003.

Because we are not able to have children of our own, your child will be our miracle in life.  Adopting a child was always an option from the very beginning even before we tried fertility treatment, because we just knew we wanted to be parents.

Our Home

Our home is 4 bedroom/3 bath.  We enjoy doing home projects and making it feel more homey.  Peter has been working extremely hard on making the backyard kid friendly, so they can have plenty of room to run around and play.  We live in a great neighborhood with families and children of all ages and a community playground where lots of children play daily.

We have 2 beautiful cats named Shadow and Melody.  They are very much part of the family and we know they will love having another person around.

About Monica

Monica loves going to new places and meeting new people.  She gets along great with everyone.  Monica is a firm believer of “thank you’s” and good manners and hopes to instill those qualities to their children.  She enjoys scrapbooking and reading.   If we are blessed with a child, Monica will be ecstatic to be a stay at home mom.

Peter talks about Monica

Ever since Monica and I began dating we had a connection.  As we move through life and its ups and downs Monica is always my first priority.  I have enjoyed the past 7 years together and look forward to many more.  Monica is my sole mate and I don’t know what life would be like with out her.  Monica is a wonderful wife and I love spending all of my free time with her.  We enjoy working on projects around the house, visiting with friends and traveling.  Monica is going to be a wonderful mother and I look forward to seeing her in that role.

About Peter

Peter is a manager and a local company and has been there for 13 years and enjoys his job.  He likes working out in the yard, doing home projects, and is an avid runner.  He has a wonderful sense of humor and loves telling stories of his early days.  Peter loves taking pictures and documenting our vacation and special outings.  He enjoys reading financial magazines and books.  Peter is looking forward to becoming a dad and will be able to take a week or two off of work, so we can bond as a family.

Monica talks about Peter

From the beginning, Peter has been so easy to talk to.  We can and have talked about anything.  He is also a fantastic listener.  I love the way he cares about his parents and sister.  Peter is very honest and takes pride in his work and home.  He is not only intelligent, but a fun-loving man.  He has always showed me how much he loves me by the little things he does.  When I’m sick, he comes home early and makes me soup.  If I am sad, he makes me laugh. He has always made me feel special and I know he will give that same feeling to our child.  I can’t wait to see Peter as father.  He is so warm, gentle and caring.  I know he will be a great father. 

Our Relationship

We have a very loving relationship.  We try to make everyday a memorable and happy day.  We really enjoy each others company and love each other unconditionally.  We can laugh and talk all day.  We have a strong, committed relationship built on trust, love and admiration for one another. We appreciate everything we have been given in life and we have made many sacrifices to get to the point where we are now able to have a family.

Our Family

We both have wonderful parents.  Our families have given us so much love and support; it has made us the people that we are today.  We are both the eldest child and are very close to our parents.  We had such a happy child hood that we would like to share and give that joy to another.  We believe with our big family, we should have many people to turn to, when we have questions about parenting.  This will be the first grandchild on both sides of our family and everyone is so excited for us to become parents.

Rearing of Child

While we are of different faiths and have not practiced since we were young, we still believe in the presence of God and hope to instill the same in our child.

Because Monica will be a stay at home mom/wife, she will have lots of opportunity to teach our child many things.  We hope to expose them to different kinds of books and music. We will encourage and support them for their given talents.

We believe in telling our child that they are adopted from the very beginning.  We want them to know as much as possible about their birthparents.  We would like for them to be able to ask us any questions they have.  Whatever there heritage may be, we would like them to know more about their background.

Thank you for getting to know us as you make this very difficult decision. Please know that we will love your child unconditionally and they will always know how special you are and about the loving choice you made.  You will always have a special place in our heart as the woman who gave us the chance to become parents.  We would be happy to communicate with you as your child grows.  We hope we have been able to give you an idea of who we are and the love we have in our hearts for each other and for a child.
