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 married 12 years and we dream everyday that becoming parents will become a reality in the very near future. 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 an excellent father to your child. 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 understanding 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 both have great backgrounds in educating children which we can use as a resource in raising a son or daughter. If you provide us with the joy of being parents, 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 want nothing more in this world than to become parents and share our love with our future child. Ellen and I certainly feel disappointment that our family is not yet complete. However we believe with all our hearts that the special child God has meant for us, has yet to be born.

I am so proud of my wife, Ellen, that every time I think of her it brings a smile to my face. Not only is she fun to just hang out with but she is my life partner who I can count on everyday to be by my side through the ups and downs of life.

My heart will be filled with joy when Ellen can hold our child in her arms for the first time. She will be an awesome mom to your child. We would be honored if you would allow our family to grow so we can pass along the love, laughter, and knowledge that we 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 of hands.

OUR LIFE'S JOURNEY ELLEN’S LIFE STORY

I experienced a very happy 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 always a prevalent part of my childhood as we had two cats, Mr. Lucky and Tiger and two dogs, Bitsy and Barney. I will never forget how Barney, a beautiful golden lab, followed me to school every morning and could not wait until I got back home to play.

No matter how busy my mom or dad was, they always took time to listen to my crazy stories about school and my friends. They also provided a shoulder to lean on when I was feeling down. My mom really had a special way of making me feel better. I am so thankful that my parents 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 just need some extra attention in order to succeed in the classroom. It is a terrific feeling to see these children make progress and achieve their goals. I am confident that I will make a great mother because I have a lot of patience with children. I enjoy making a difference in their lives.

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. What I want most in life is to also have a son or daughter that will come home each day from school and run right into the waiting arms of Joe and myself for a big hug.

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. I look forward to talking with you in the very near future so we can get to know one another.

JOE’S LIFE STORY

Ellen and I both grew-up in Pennsylvania where we were raised by hard-working, middle class parents who loved and cared for us and made sure that our needs were taken care of. 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 big fluffy 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-protective 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.

While I had a good childhood, I will always fondly remember my teen years. I was an extremely happy teenager enjoying fun times with my friends throughout high school while at the same time preparing for college. Immediately after graduation, I went to college and 4 years later I earned a bachelor's degree in psychology. My life was going very well as 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 tremendous 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. Ellen and I fell in love from the moment we first meet. We became inseparable as we spent a lot of time together watching movies, going for long walks, and just talking and enjoying each other’s company. After only a year, we became engaged as I completed my master’s degree. The following summer we were married. To me, Ellen is the most beautiful woman in the world. Simply put she is my world.

Ellen and I first started to try to have a child when we moved into our new home and established 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 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 desires 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. While I am not talented in art or music, both of us would be thrilled to have a child who possessed artistic ability. 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. 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, “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.
