Joseph & Ellen are hopeful adoptive parents from Pennsylvania waiting to adopt a baby.
We have been happily married for 12 years and have been trying to have children for the past 7 years. We both work in public schools as educators. Thus, we love kids and interact with them everyday. We are extremely excited about the possibility of adopting a child to make our family complete. What we want most in the world is to become parents.
In order for you to discover if we have what it takes to be worthy enough to be entrusted with the most precious gift of all, “your child”, we invite you to learn about who we are and our life’s journey leading to adoption. We feel that it is extremely important that you get to know who we are today as well as how we grew-up and were raised. After reading about us, we hope that you will be filled with optimism and warmth that your child’s future will be bright.
If you are pregnant and considering placing your child for adoption, please read the following Dear Birthmother Letter.

OUR RELATIONSHIP & OUR DESIRE TO HAVE A FAMILY
OUR WISH TO HAVE A CHILD
WRITTEN By A FUTURE MOM
My husband, Joe, and I have been trying to have a child for over six years. We have been married 12 years and we still hold onto our dream that becoming a mom and a dad will become a reality. Now, we are trying to adopt a child to make our loving family complete.
My husband has been “my rock”. He has always been that way in all aspects of our marriage. Joe is a kind, caring, thoughtful, positive, and intelligent man who is also a great provider. He would be a wonderful father to your child if you would give him the chance. I know this because he is not only my lifelong partner but also my best friend. As a school counselor, Joe works with children on a daily basis. He is great about treating each child as an individual and helping each student through their unique life experiences. He will make an excellent father who will instill family values and who will provide your child with many opportunities for a great future. To go through the experience of being a dad is what he wants more than anything.
Joe and I have waited a long time for this blessed opportunity to become parents. We both have great backgrounds in educating children which we can use as a resource in raising a son or daughter. We will forever teach your child to strive to be the best person they can be. Please give us the chance to know the joy of being parents and in return we will provide your child with a lifetime of love and happiness.
OUR WISH TO HAVE A CHILD
WRITTEN By A FUTURE DAD
My wife and I have tried to have a child for the past several years. Year after year we held out hope that one month God would smile upon us. Unfortunately, sometimes God has other plans despite the prayers and the love that you share with your partner.
The greatest disappointment of our lives has been not being able to conceive; however, with every disappointment in life you must look at the positive. Our marriage was good before our journey of trying to conceive, but six years later, I would describe our marriage as “exceptional”. I am so proud of my wife that every time I think of her courage and strength it brings tears to my eyes. Women are certainly the strength of a marriage and of a family. My heart will be filled with joy and my mind will be at peace when my wife will hold our child in her arms for the first time. She will be an awesome mom to your child, if you just give her the chance.
Please allow our family to grow so we can pass along the love, laughter, and knowledge that we have enjoyed growing-up to your child. I promise you that it will be a decision in which you can take comfort knowing that your child was placed in the most caring and most deserving of hands.

OUR LIFE'S JOURNEY
ELLEN’S LIFE STORY
I experienced a happy, stable and secure childhood with many fond memories of a nurturing home life with my mom and dad, younger brother, John, and my maternal grandmother. Animals were also a prevalent part of my childhood as we had two cats, Mr. Lucky and Tiger and two dogs, Bitsy and Barney. No matter how busy my mom or dad was, they always took time to help us out with our homework or other tasks that we needed assistance with. They instilled in me a solid foundation of moral character and values which has served me well in life. I was very fortunate to have “great parents”. How my mom and dad raised me will certainly be a wonderful guide in raising my own child.
Another life experience that will help me be a good mom is my current job as an occupational therapy assistant in elementary schools. This position involves working with children from ages 5 thru 13, who have special needs and others who just need some extra intervention in order to succeed in the classroom. It is a great feeling to see these children make progress and achieve their goals. I am confident that I will make a good mother because I have a lot of patience with the children I serve. I enjoy making a difference in the children’s lives and watching them achieve in school.
I can’t emphasize enough that the kids I work with are truly adorable and say the funniest things. While it is a blessing to have a great job like this, it is also quite a cross to bear given my current situation. Once the school bell rings at the end of the day, my students go home to their mommies and daddies. This is when the reality of not having a child becomes very difficult to take.
I make this plea to you woman to woman: “If you entrust your child to me, I will always be by their side to support and to comfort them as they grow-up. I will devote my life to seeing that your child feels loved and learns how to give love in return.
JOE’S LIFE STORY
Ellen and I both grew-up in Pennsylvania where we were raised by hard-working, middle class parents. Our up-bringing was similar in that we were both Roman Catholics who were instilled with Christian values. My childhood home consisted of a full-time mom, working dad, maternal grandmother, and a cat named, Muffy.
Since I was an only child, I got used to being the center of attention and developed quite an imagination and outgoing personality. My childhood was very well orchestrated by an old fashion, over-protecting Italian mother. If you ever watched the television show, “Everybody Loves Raymond”, Ray’s mom, Marie, is just like my mother. Thus, I was sort of a ma ma’s boy.
I was a very happy teenager enjoying fun times with my friends throughout high school while at the same time preparing for college. After my first 4 years of college, I earned a bachelor's degree in psychology. With my life going very well, I then earned a full scholarship to attend graduate school to become a school counselor. Since my parents and I were barely able to afford my college tuition, this was a great opportunity.
For two years, I worked at the college while studying to become a counselor. It was during this time that I forged a friendship with a young secretary at the college. While she was not interested in me as more than a friend, she determined that I was sweet enough to introduce me to her roommate, Ellen. While my first few dates with Ellen were a little awkward (she is several inches taller than me), we knew that we were meant for each other. I became engaged to Ellen as I completed my master’s degree.
Ellen and I became married and started to try to have a child when we moved into our new home and had very secure jobs at the local schools. As you read above, we have not been able to have a child. Thus, my wife and I are very eager to adopt to a baby.
I can guarantee you that Ellen will be the “greatest mom”. She knows when to be sensitive to those she loves and even puts their feelings ahead of her own. She is a terrific lady who deserves to give all this love inside of her to a child we can call our own.
More than anything in the world, Ellen and I both want to have a son or daughter that we can hold in our arms and embark on our life’s journey as a family. Please allow us to provide that special home to your child. Ellen and I are ready to open up our hearts to a child who needs us as much as we need them to make our lives complete.

YOUR CHILD'S FUTURE FAMILY & HOME
FAMILY ACTIVITIES & FUN
Your child will not want for things to do as they grow-up. Being educators, we will encourage the value of education. While school is a high priority, so is letting a child act like a child and have fun. We both look forward to playing games with our son or daughter outside in our big backyard or during the winter, staying home and having fun rolling around in our spacious family room. Ellen is excellent with arts and crafts due to her background as a therapist and I can play all major sports. I love athletics because it taught me some valuable lessons in life and I would enjoy sharing my hobby with my child. However, if our child is more interested in music and the arts, we will encourage and support their positive involvement in those activities. Most importantly, Ellen and I fully realize that a child needs to have friends. We will open-up our home to our child’s friends, so they feel as comfortable in our home as their own.
Our home, which is only 7 years old, has three bedrooms, a dining room, living room, family room, utility room, kitchen, two full bathrooms, an office, and a garage. When we had our house built, we designed the home with our future family in mind. The home sits on an acre of property that is located in a wooded setting; however, we are only 3-5 miles away from the business district and the local schools. There is a large front and backyard for our child to play and there is little traffic to worry about since our home is on a cul-de-sac. The neighborhood consists of hard working families who mostly all have children. There will certainly be kids in the neighborhood for our child to play with.
YOUR CHILD’S EXTENDED FAMILY
We think that it is important that you are aware of the extended family that will welcome your child and who will play a role in his/her maturation. Your child will have two sets of grandparents. While Joe’s mother passed away, his father recently remarried. Ellen’s mom and dad are both in their early sixties and in good health. Both sets of grandparents live near us and will see their grandson/granddaughter very frequently. The child will also have a great grandmother; 2 great, great uncles; 1 great, great aunt; 3 great uncles; 3 great aunts; 1 uncle; 1 aunt; and a multitude of cousins. For the child’s Christening, we already have a wonderful godfather and godmother selected who are not listed in the extended family above. The child’s godparents are very close friends who have raised terrific children of their own. Therefore, if something were to happen to both Ellen and I, your child would still have a wonderful home life and would be financially provided for in every way.
We would be very remiss if we did not mention a member of the child’s household who will be a playmate and a source of constant affection, our cat, Sweetie. Sweetie is an orange stripped tabby cat with a white colored face, belly, and paws (picture located below). He is adorable and his name Sweetie really says it all. Since Sweetie is always being picked-up and hugged by both of us in the absence of having a child, we think that Sweetie looks forward to our new addition as much as us. If Sweetie could talk he would say, “Please give my mommy and daddy a little boy or girl, so I can get some sleep”. In the meantime, Sweetie is the baby of the family until he is relieved of his duties.
