Dear Birthmother
Dear Expectant Mother,
Thank you for taking the time to read our profile and learn more about us. We're very honored that you're considering our family.
Adoption is incredibly personal for us, especially because Travis is an adoptee. Being parents is our dream, and it would be the honor of our lives to care for your child.
We can't imagine the mixture of emotions racing through your mind and heart as you learn about prospective parents for your child. This decision may be the most challenging one you make in your life, but we know it will come from a place of love.
We believe that children can never have enough caring adults in their corner. We promise to honor your relationship and connection to your child. We'll always support them, help them fulfill their dreams, and show them unconditional love. Should you choose, we'd love to include you in your child's journey – you will be their mother forever.
We hope that learning about us can help ease some of the weight you bear right now. No matter what decision you make, we wish you the best. We're excited to get to know you and grow together.
All the best, Joey & Travis
Our Home
We live in a cute 1930s-built house with a stucco exterior, a front door with a round top, a sunroom, three bedrooms, an attic (with a built-in work nook), and a fenced-in backyard.
Our home sits in an urban area with a suburban feel in Minnesota. The elementary school that our child will likely attend is one block away. Our neighborhood also features the state fairgrounds, a zoo, an amusement park, a golf course, and a lake. The community is stunning during fall when the foliage changes, but its most beautiful part is its inclusiveness – especially its welcoming neighbors.
We also have a dog: a Brussels Griffon named Shay. She's a sassy but sweet pet who loves people, cuddling, high fives, peanut butter, and walks. She's excited to find her new best friend!
Our Family
We're both only children who come from loving parents. Travis has always been close with his mom and dad, who live 45 minutes away from us. Joey's parents live farther away, in Ohio, but we feel strongly connected despite the distance – and they'll make frequent visits once they become grandparents.
We differ on the sizes of our extended families. Joey doesn't have many remaining grandparents, aunts, uncles, or cousins. On the other hand, Travis has a large family – especially on his mom's side – with over 40 members. Travis is especially close with his cousins. We enjoy spending holidays together with lots of love and laughter. Joey enjoys the big family gatherings so much that he felt right at home going alone last Christmas when Travis was sick.
