We are excited about building our family through adoption!

Although we aren’t able to have children, we've always looked forward to having a family. We’re ready for the diapers and sleepless nights as well as the smiles and giggles! We hope that adoption will make our dream to become parents possible. We’re looking forward to providing a child with a happy life filled with love, happiness and security. If there's one thing we'd like you to know, it's that your child will be treasured and loved.

About Us We've been happily married for 8 years...When we began to date, we discovered pretty quickly that we meant a lot to each other. We just knew it was right and we were married about nine months after that first official date! Over the years, we’ve discovered that we still like to do most things together. Even though we have our own interests, we mostly enjoy spending our free time together. We love each other very much and want to share our love and happiness with a child.


About John
John grew up in Seattle. He is one of three children. He’s very close to both his sister and his brother. We also have a niece who is 9 years old. She loves working on art projects and playing soccer! We keep in touch with John’s family by calling often and visiting them on the West coast. Work brought John to the DC area, where he met Susan. He's a Design & Engineering Manager and very well liked and respected by all of his coworkers. John has a steady, laid back personality and a great sense of humor. He works hard in his career and taking classes but also spends time on hobbies. John loves music, cars and working on projects around our house. He’s very handy!

Susan's thoughts on John
John is going to be a great Dad! He's my best friend and such a caring and generous person. He is the kind of man that everyone hopes their daughter will meet: smart, romantic, kind, funny, hardworking and caring. He’s a wonderful husband and does little things each day that remind me how lucky I am to share my life with him. John will make a great father – he has a goofy, playful side and an ability to make kids (and Susan!) laugh with amusement! He's also really creative and patient. John is very eager to be a Dad and to create fond childhood memories for our children.

About Susan
Susan grew up in Virginia Beach and she's one of four children. She's close to her family and we email, call and visit them often too. Susan moved to the Washington, DC area after college at ODU and works with computers as a Manager. She has a really flexible schedule and often works from home. In her spare time, Susan likes traveling, reading, and planting flowers in the garden. She also enjoys dreaming up creative home improvement projects for John! Susan is practical, organized and caring. She is excited about being a Mom and looking forward to spending lots of time with our child going on walks, playing, reading and discovering new things together each day!

John's thoughts on Susan
Susan is my true love. When we met, I had just moved here from Seattle. Susan and I became close friends over the course of a year. When we started dating it didn’t take long for us to get married. Susan is a patient and thoughtful person. She worked hard to put herself through school before moving to the DC area. Susan is intelligent, witty, and well spoken. Susan has an outgoing type of personality that fills a room with happiness; she’s the one you want to talk to. I am truly happy to be married to her. Susan is a natural with kids and is ready to be a mom. The kids all like her too. The kids in the neighborhood frequently stop by to show Susan the latest bugs they've caught or to find out if frogs really do bite. When a child comes into the room a big smile comes across Susan’s face. Susan is truly excited about raising a child and building a family. She’ll make a wonderful mother.

Our Home & Our Family We live in Maryland, close to Washington, DC. We have a wonderful home in a family-filled neighborhood, complete with tree lined streets and white picket fences! It's the kind of neighborhood where you see moms walking with babies in strollers all the time - sometimes we walk with them! The baby’s room has a beautiful view of the backyard and the trees at the end of the street. We also have plenty of room for playtime and toys! Our neighborhood is filled with lots of kids of all ages. There are plenty of places for kids to run and play – ball fields, tot lots, bike paths and a community pool. There are also lots of family events in our neighborhood throughout the year and we can’t wait to share in the fun at the Easter Egg hunt, the Halloween Parade and the Family Barbecues!

We share our home with our Yorkie puppy and our very laid back cat! The area where we live also has excellent schools and is close to everything DC has to offer, Maryland state parks, and many other recreational areas and activities. We love this area, especially our neighborhood and enjoy taking long walks with the dog!

Most of the time we enjoy being homebodies - we like spending time together with our friends and family, working on projects around our house, gardening and traveling. We've been lucky enough to travel to many wonderful places here in the US and Europe. We love to go to the beach to relax! We also love to visit new cities and check out places we’ve never been to before. We are really looking forward to enjoying family trips in the future!

Our Family

Many of our trips each year take us to various parts of the country to see our families - especially Virginia Beach, Seattle, NY. We get together during summer vacation, family reunions at the beach, during the Christmas holidays, Thanksgiving, birthdays and other special occasions. We have many fun family traditions and look forward to sharing those too.

Adoption has special meaning in our family and we’ve seen first hand what a blessing it can be! Susan has adopted cousins on both sides of her family - each child is a much-loved member of our family and we enjoy visiting them and watching them grow!

Both our families are looking forward to including a new member of the family! Everyone is very supportive and so excited about welcoming a new baby into our lives.

Our Thoughts on Parenthood As parents, we want the very best for our child: love, a hand to hold and lots of smiles, hugs and laughter! We both believe education is important and as our child grows older, we’ll make sure they have all the help they need to learn and grow. We hope to instill in a child the same beliefs our parents gave us: to be thoughtful and kind and respectful of others, to believe that she/he can achieve anything by working hard. Most importantly, we want our children to have the same kind of childhood we did: to play, learn, have fun, and to make lots of friends and great memories!

Our Thoughts on Adoption

During the years to come, we look forward to talking with our child openly about their adoption and honestly answering their questions about how we became a family. Your child will always know how much you love him or her...We want he or she to know all about you, the things that are important to you and most importantly that your decision was made out of love. We would love to stay in touch and send pictures and letters over the years. We honestly believe that no child can have too many people in their life to love them!

We hope that it’s all helped you to know a little more about us and we would love to hear from you if you’d like to talk in person. Whatever you decide, we wish you all the best in your pregnancy and lots of happiness in your life!
