Miles & Lisa are hopeful adoptive parents from New Jersey waiting to adopt a baby.

If you are pregnant and considering placing your child for adoption, please read the following Dear Birthmother Letter.

Welcome We're Lisa and Miles ... open to to hearing your concerns & feelings. Anything you share will be kept private between us, if you want.

Adoption is in our hearts. Arielle & Josh, now teens, were adopted by Miles and his late wife when they were babies. Miles & their birth mothers met and spoke regularly. He has wonderful memories. Miles has shared their adoption heritages with each of them. Arielle & Josh cherish their birth mothers. Miles would have kept in touch with their birth mothers.. yet each birthmother decided not to. They are in our best thoughts.

Josh is an excellent swimmer and diver and is on the swim team. He's been a camp counselor in our town these last two summers. He's a certified lifeguard and is lifeguarding this summer at our town pool. Arielle loves photography and the arts, going for long walks with her friends.

They will share their hobbies with their younger sibling as he or she grows. They understand their younger sister or brother will have their own interests.

About Us Marriage and family has always been something I, Lisa, hoped for. I was a single girl with a good job and loving family..yet felt lonely. It took many years and then I met the love of my life, Miles. His family means the world to me. Giving my love and support to Josh & Arielle is easy.

I hope to experience raising baby through adulthood with Miles. He's a reliable, loving man who I depend on in good & bad times. He is a creative problem-solver. He likes to laugh and his sense of humor keeps me amused daily...I feel truly lucky to have found him. His affectionate nature and his sense of fun with Josh and Arielle shows me he'll be a great dad when we adopt.

We will support and love our children unconditionally as they grow from infants to adulthood.

Miles is a good provider...as a distance-learning salesman where he helps other reach the dream of higher education. I work as a legal assistant where I enjoy mentoring beginning legal assistants and assisting my clients. One of the joys of my job is that I am able to work from home when baby comes.

This is Miles: Lisa is the most loving wonderful person and has a special gift in contributing to the happiness of every child she comes in contact with. Even those children that are not in our family are attracted by her smile and fun-loving personality. I feel so fortunate to be with her... she is truly my soulmate.

Lisa so deserves to be a mom in raising baby to adulthood. He or she will grow up with the opportunity to learn the wonders of life and strong values. I can see Lisa Lisa nurturing him or her... providing guidance and the incredible fun & happiness that gives all of us joy when we are around her.

We think children can be raised with a sense of adventure and experience different cultures and ways of life. I, Lisa, love traveling.... a tradition I picked up from my parents. I've seen much of America and have travelled to many places in Europe and South America.

We've gone to Washington, DC, and other places in the US with Josh and Arielle. Many of their school vacations are in Florida visiting my close friend, her husband & their children -- Julie & Matty, who are 7 and 4. Since they began speaking, they call me “Tia” which means Aunt. Julie and I tell each other we love each other a “googol” or infinity and Matty tells me he loves me often. Both are always very excited when we come to visit. They enjoy Josh who is great with younger children. They will be like cousins to baby.

Family, Friends, Home, Town Our home is a warm, five-bedroom house renovated in 1989 where all our children can have their own rooms. It has a big yard and deck where we host big barbecue get-togethers for friends, family, and neighbors.

We host a yearly Thanksgiving dinner in our dining room for our friends and family. All the kids enjoy the food and games and the teens enjoy listening to music.

Our very close-knit group of friends live near us and are part of our extended family. We live in a wonderful community with many friends, neighbors and young children. Our child will have many children to choose from for playmates.

There are plenty of places for our child to run and play. We live across the street from our great elementary school and middle school and near the town pool and park. We kept the swing set from when Josh and Arielle were little for our future...hopefully... child.

We live about an hour away from New York City, where we'll take our child to experience the cultural and exciting events such as the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, plays, museums, and the Zoo in Central Park.

More Family and The Future Miles & I grew up very close to our parents and siblings and were surrounded by aunts, uncles and cousins. Our child will be surrounded by a large, supportive family as well.

It's me, Lisa...I visit my dad weekly in New York City. My brother lives in Connecticut and we speak almost daily. He can't wait to become an uncle when we adopt. I miss my mom who passed away in 2007. My dad and brother will welcome baby into their hearts.

My father & mom were great examples of what makes a great marriage and great parents. My mother always made sure we spent time growing up with our cousins and going on family vacations. I will do the same for our child.

This is me, Miles.... My mother recently moved to Florida...so it will be another annual vacation to Florida. She will visit with us when we adopt. She will pamper our child just like she had with Josh and Arielle. I'm very close to my sister and her two children. They live nearby so we see each other often. Our child will be welcomed by siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents.

After my late wife’s death, we adopted two cats from animal shelters to help the kids and I get over our grief. We adopted a third cat. Our cats are friendly to children and give space to babies and toddlers. Kids enjoy them. When we come home they come to the door to welcome us. We think pets help children learn how to love and care for another living being.

Your opinions will be supported by us even if you decide not to place your baby with us. This is your life-changing experience!

Hope to hear from you! Please call us at 1-888-324-8934, or if you prefer, please call Debbie Steincolor, our adoption attorney who is also a social worker, at 1-800-624-7331.

Our best thoughts are with you.

Sincerely,

Lisa and Miles
