Our beginning...

We met each other when we were seniors in high school and 'clicked' with each other right away. We dated throughout our college years and married two years later. After a few years of focusing on our careers and traveling, we decided that we were ready to become a family. We entered into the adoption process with open minds & eager hearts. Now, with David in our home, we are a happy family of three and eager to become a family of four (or more!). We both have great relationships with our siblings. We wish for David to have a little sister or brother to love as much as we love our sister & brothers.

Our story...

Our lives changed forever when David came home! We absolutely LOVE being parents and we are thoroughly enjoying the simple things in life. David's laugh, his voice, his personality...being his parents is a wonderful adventure. Lisa has chosen to be a stay-at-home mom and is loving every minute of it. She feels very grateful for this time at home and is looking forward to staying at home with both children. Whether it's a playgroup, trip to the zoo or the library...our daily adventures will be twice as much fun with two children! Anthony is always eager to come home from work to find out about the day's adventures.

Jessica

We feel very fortunate to have a healthy, comfortable relationship with Jess. If you choose our family for your child, we look forward to building a relationship that will be comfortable for all of us.

Anthony

Anthony is a quiet, mild-mannered man, but he can also be very silly & playful. He is a very hands-on daddy getting right in there-from changing diapers & midnight feedings to backyard adventures, he loves it all. When David hears Anthony's car pull into the driveway, his face lights up, & he runs to the door saying, "Daddy's home!" He has so much love in his heart that I am certain he will always be an amazing dad & husband!

Lisa

Lisa is a loving & patient woman and that makes her a great mom to David and wife for me. Simply put, she is my best friend. The teacher in Lisa is always talking to David, reading and helping him to explore. Her daily efforts clearly show in David's growth. When she has time, she likes to work on crafty projects like scrap-booking, sewing or baking. Lisa makes our home a warm & loving place for children to grow up in.

David

At just 2 1/2 years old, David is smart, funny and just a very happy kid! He brings such joy to our entire family. Our families & friends describe David as: cheerful, creative, chatterbox, ham, little entertainer, snuggly, affectionate, love bug, friendly, outgoing... You get the picture! He has such an upbeat personality that he spends most days singing his favorite songs from morning 'til night! When we go out, whether it is to a store, church or anywhere else, he tends to turn heads and make perfect strangers smile. Like any toddler, he'll be unsure of a sibling at first. But after some adjustment, we're quite sure he'll be excited to have a little brother or sister to share his many adventures with!

Home Sweet Home

Our home is located in a suburban neighborhood in a great location. We are surrounded by many young families, playgrounds, bike trails and a state park. The house and yard have been taken over by toys and kid-sized furniture and we couldn't be happier about that! We're looking forward to bringing the baby things out of storage and watching David interact with a little brother or sister. We often daydream about our family's future - years down the road - listening to our kids giggling and playing in their bedroom. We imagine rainy days when they can build forts with sheets and pillows & eat their lunch in their new hideaway. Anthony will be all too happy to help the kids build some fabulous creation with Legos and the train set! Our backyard is perfect for exploring, running and just plain being kids!

Family time is the best time of all!

We were both raised in tight-knit families spending lots of time with our extended families. We wish for the same kind of upbringing for our children. Both sets of grandparents live nearby and we visit each other at least once a week. We spend tons of time with Auntie Mickey and cousins Stephen & Emily. They live nearby and are always ready to play! Anthony's brother, John, lives several states away but we see each other at least twice a year, sometimes more.

Thank you!

As we sit down to create a profile for you, we can picture you sitting at a table with a pile of profiles in front of you...smiling faces of strangers staring back at you. As overwhelmed as you might be, we hope that you can find comfort somewhere in our pictures and words. We don't want to be smiling strangers, but comfortable, familiar people that you can connect with. We strongly believe in honoring our children's birth histories and teaching them to take pride in their adoption stories. David, at such a young age, already knows that he is adopted and that his birthfamily loves him. We wish the same sense of love and security for David's little sister or brother. Our hearts are open and ready. We're excited about the possibilities that lie ahead for all of us! We wish you well and hope that you find peace in your decision, whatever it might be.

Warmly,

Lisa, David & Anthony
