Dear Birthmother
First and foremost—thank you—thank you for taking the time to read our profile, and thank you for considering the selfless act of adoption that helps create families like ours! We want you to know just how much we admire and respect you. The care you are putting into this decision is apparent when it comes down to just how much you love the baby and the hopes you carry for their future, and we hope that you always feel supported and surrounded by compassion every step of the way through this journey that is uniquely yours.
If we are lucky enough to be chosen as the adoptive parents to your child, please know that your baby would be cherished beyond measure by both of us, our son, our parents, our siblings, and our entire family! We promise you that their life will be filled with warmth, laughter, unconditional love, and the experiences and personal growth that travel as a Citizen of the World will bring.
We have walked this path before, and know the feelings and emotions associated with it. No matter where your journey may lead you, please know that we hold a special place in our hearts for you, and women like you. Thank you for considering this selfless act, and for the gift of hope you bring.
Our Home
We live in a Master Planned Community, which is code for "a small village" of homes, schools, parks, trails, and other amenities all within walking distance! Our home was one of the first ones built, so we have had the joy of watching our village grow in the literal sense of the word, with new homes and additions being added, and figuratively with our wonderful neighbors who all know us by name! One of our family's favorite things to do after work is to go walking with our son to any of the nearby playgrounds, and watch him experience his childhood and make new friends to further expand our little village.
Our Family
Similar to our personalities, both of our extended families could be described as "opposites"! We live smack dab in the middle between Cody's parents (~10 minutes south) and Yusuf's parents (~10 minutes north). Cody is an only child who was raised by a hard-working single mother who provided for his needs all the way through college. She later married an amazing man whom Cody refers to as his father. Cody has aunts and uncles who live scattered around Texas and Illinois, and cousins who live in Texas, Wisconsin, Missouri, and D.C. Yusuf is the oldest of his parents' four children. He has two younger sisters, and a younger brother. Yusuf's family is scattered much further than just the U.S., with aunts, uncles, and cousins living in Texas, North Carolina, Egypt, Germany, and Belgium!
Both of our families enjoy joining us on our travels around the world! Cody's extended family tries to take a big vacation every other year, the most recent of which was in Mazatlan, Mexico! Yusuf's siblings and parents will sometimes join us on our travels, or schedule a family cruise. We absolutely love either visiting family, or getting to travel with them!
