Hello! We’re Chris and Sarah. After 11 wonderful years together, we’re thrilled to embark on our adoption journey. With a strong support system and an abundance of love to share, we feel truly blessed for this opportunity and would love to connect with you! :)
Sarah embodies compassion and dedication, making her an outstanding school social worker and advocate for student success. Her balance of determination and genuine kindness is truly inspiring. She shows remarkable strength and resilience in her interactions with students and frequently champions their needs, fighting for equity—qualities I know will shine through as she supports our child. What I cherish most about Sarah is her vibrant sense of fun and her natural ability to connect with others. Children are drawn to her warmth and enthusiasm, and she is a wonderful listener—approachable and genuinely caring. Sarah maintains close ties with her family and enjoys hosting friends, reflecting her nurturing nature. In addition to her many qualities, Sarah is a talented singer, and we play together in a band—she sings while I play the banjo. Although we’re still honing our musical skills, the joy we share through music is evident. With her kindness, courage, and playful spirit, I have no doubt she will be an amazing and loving mother.
Chris and I have both chosen careers in teaching and social work, following in our mothers' footsteps. Chris teaches high school computer science and coaches cross country and track and field. I'm continually impressed by his natural ability to connect with his students; they appreciate his non-judgmental approach and see him as a trusted confidant. Working in the same school, I often hear glowing feedback about him, which excites me about his future as a father. I have no doubt he will bring the same kindness and nurturing spirit to our child. One of the qualities I admire most about Chris is his ability to balance hard work with a fulfilling personal life. He often takes his parents out for dinner and helps his mom with tech issues—his love language is definitely acts of service. He makes me iced coffee every night and prepares incredible dinners. What truly stands out, though, is his unwavering support. Whether it’s a great day or a tough one, he goes out of his way to be there for others. These qualities will undoubtedly make Chris an exceptional father.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to share our story with you. We hope it gives you a glimpse into our lives and the deep love and commitment we have to offer a child. We understand that this must be an incredibly difficult decision for you, and we deeply admire your selflessness in making such a choice.
We believe in the importance of openness in our adoption journey and hope to stay connected throughout our child’s life. However, we fully respect your preferences regarding communication and will honor your wishes.
Please know that our home is filled with love, safety, and security. We are dedicated to providing a nurturing environment where a child can grow, thrive, and experience happiness. We are eager to learn about your hopes and dreams for this journey and want to assure you that we are committed to being the best parents we can be.
Sending you all our love and wishing you peace.
Thank you,
Sarah and Chris
We embrace a nurturing and supportive approach that prioritizes love, open communication, and respect for individuality. We aim to build strong emotional connections, celebrating both milestones and everyday moments.
We will encourage open dialogue, helping our child feel safe to express their thoughts and feelings. While we will provide guidance, we will also promote independence, allowing them to explore and learn from their experiences.
Diversity and inclusion are central to our family values, fostering empathy and kindness. We will balance structure with freedom, setting clear boundaries while encouraging creativity.
Ultimately, we view parenting as a journey of lifelong learning, creating a warm and loving home where our child can thrive and be their authentic self.
Our cat is a spirited 12-year-old tortie with a delightful mix of spunk and sweetness. She loves curling up on laps and has a special affinity for playing with children, bringing joy and warmth to our home.
Both of us grew up with strong family ties that continue to enrich our lives. Although Sarah’s family lives in another state, she maintains a close connection with her parents and brother through regular FaceTime calls. With her parents now retired, they are excited about visiting more often. Meanwhile, Chris’s parents live nearby and, enjoying their own retirement, look forward to our weekly Sunday dinners and are always eager to help with babysitting whenever we need a break.
When we shared our news with our families, their excitement was palpable. They reassured us of their belief in our potential as wonderful parents and emphasized the importance of upholding our cherished family traditions, like spending Christmas in Florida and barbecuing on the Fourth of July. We feel incredibly fortunate to have such a supportive and loving family surrounding us.
