Bob & Corinne are hopeful adoptive parents from North Carolina waiting to adopt a baby.

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

Welcome ...to a glimpse of who we are! We are Bob and Corinne from Chapel Hill, NC. Thank you for taking the time to read our letter. We are grateful for the opportunity to share a bit of our lives with you. We strongly believe open adoption is the way to grow our family by creating open, lasting relationships and establishing trust with you. While we cannot begin to comprehend the emotions and feelings you are experiencing, we do have great respect and admiration for your thoughtfulness and selflessness. Please know you are in our thoughts and we wish the very best for you regardless of whatever path you choose. We look forward to knowing you, and we wish you peace at this time.

About Us We met seven years ago when Bob was visiting his sister in Chapel Hill, NC. Corinne had been his niece's and nephew's babysitter while she was in graduate school. We dated for about three years before marrying in October of 2004 in a beautiful, small wedding in New York City. We are each others best friends and have a happy, healthy marriage based on honesty and mutual respect. We are devoted to one another. Our relationship is balanced and we are truly partners, sharing just about everything. We enjoy spending time with friends and family, playing tennis, relaxing on the beach, reading, and attending sporting events and concerts. Although we enjoy traveling very much, we are also content to stay at home. We have made a very comfortable and loving home together with our cat, Andie. We are thrilled with the prospect of becoming parents and expanding our family. Even before we met, we had both always wanted to pursue adoption; each of us feeling that the nature of family is not based only on biology. Together we can offer the promise of a loving, secure home where our child will grow up with lots of family and support. We are very excited about welcoming you and this baby into our lives!

About Bob (by Corinne)
I realize every day that I am lucky to have Bob as a husband and believe he will be an equally wonderful father! He is easy-going and selfless, constantly going above and beyond to make others happy. It genuinely makes him happy to make others' days better. He is very thoughtful and routinely plans creative surprises and shops months ahead of time for the perfect gift. He has been known to give me presents on his birthday! He is very laid-back and truly does not let stress bother him. Bob loves anything athletic; from playing basketball to fishing. Bob also enjoys his career designing lab buildings. He can’t wait to include field trips, coaching or driving to dance class into his flexible schedule! Bob adores children and cannot wait to have one of our own. He is very much looking forward to everything that comes along with being a father!

About Corinne (by Bob)
Corinne is the most important person in my life; my best friend and confidant. She works as a pediatric audiologist, helping children to hear. She has an amazing influence on the kids she works with in the hospital. She looks forward to expanding her career to motherhood! Family comes first in her life. I love the look in her eyes when she is with our nephews. Corinne will be a naturally patient, warm, adoring mother. Her capacity to love is phenomenal!

About Our Home
We live within walking distance to the University of North Carolina and downtown Chapel Hill. We are really excited to be able to walk downtown for ice cream, a street fair or to watch a UNC basketball game with our child. Our house is on a quiet street with a wooded park right in the backyard. There are trails that lead to a great playground where all of the neighborhood children play and ride bikes. We cannot wait for the sounds of our child in our warm, cozy home!

Family & Friends Our child will be welcomed with wide open arms into a very close extended family. Our families span from Boston to Florida, and we travel to see one another often. Our child will have an aunt, uncle and cousins living in the same town to share family dinners and attend each other’s school plays and soccer games. We love spending time with our families; visiting Grandma Cory and Pops and cousins Peyton and Regan in New York often. We look forward to bringing our child to Long Island’s beaches to play in the sand and go ice skating in Central Park at Christmas time. Several sets of grandparents and a set of great-grandparents are more than ready to spoil our child and aunts and uncles are ready with lots of hugs!
In addition to our family, we have a wonderful group of friends who are thrilled to become extra ‘aunts’ and ‘uncles’ for our child. Many of them have children and look forward to play dates and other fun activities we can do together as our family grows!

Our Promise We promise to ensure our child always knows they are loved by both you and ourselves. Our home will be a place for our child to thrive, learn and laugh. We promise to put our child’s best interests and happiness first. Our child will always experience unconditional love and acceptance for who they are. We are looking forward to curling up and reading bedtime stories, watching first steps, going for boat rides with Pop-Pop, having picnics on the beach and so much more with our child. We welcome you to be a part of this journey!


With warmest wishes,


Bob & Corinne
