We would like to thank you for taking the time to read this letter and even consider us as potential parents for your baby. We can only imagine what a difficult time this is for you. There is probably nothing we can say to make it easier except that we know whatever decision you make for your baby will be the right one for both of you.

About Us

We are two very fun loving people who have been in a committed relationship for several years. During our time together we've always talked about sharing our fun spirit with a child. We're emotionally, mentally and financially ready to bring a child into our lives and look forward to having a house filled with the laughter of a child.

Our lives are filled with friends and children. They probably represent every definition of “family.” Some of our closest friends fall within the more “traditional” definition of a man and a woman with two kids. Others are single moms with both birth and adopted children and others are gay couples with both infants and older children.

The one thing that all of these families share is love and a commitment to putting the happiness and health of their children as the most important thing in their lives. We get together often and our homes and yards are filled with laughter and joy. Our friends and their children are eagerly awaiting the addition to our family.

We enjoy tickling our nephew, introducing our friend's newly adopted baby to our dog, feeding the baby, and gardening.

Lisa

Lisa is a funny, loving, free spirit. She is great with kids and loves all animals. Her love of the outdoors will make her a great teacher of the importance of Mother Nature and of the environment.

Lisa works in Communications at a local health care company. Her workplace gives her a lot of flexibility to be available for our future children.

Marianne was born to be a mom. She is incredibly nurturing, caring and loving. Most importantly, she is a great cook!

She will also have a flexible work schedule that will allow her to be there for our future children and be active in school activities, doctor's appointments, etc.

Our Home

We live in a wonderful neighborhood in a great city in New England. There are two great playgrounds within walking distance of our house and great schools where we would hope to send our kids. Both of our families live nearby, and we're very close with them.

Our neighbors, family and friends are equally as excited to have us adopt as we are. In fact, one of our neighbors is an artist and she already said she would paint the baby's room for us. They can't wait for us to start a family and you should know that your baby will be loved by so many kinds of people; gay, straight, old, young, and different cultural backgrounds. We really value the differences in people because we know what it's like to feel different sometimes.

Our house is very warm and inviting. We have a great yard for kids to play in, chase the dogs, and or just rock on the hammock. We've tried to get ready for children by putting in a playroom downstairs and giving them plenty of room to run around.

Our Families

We both come from big Italian families who fortunately live nearby. We spend weekends and holidays together and occasionally we will take a fun trip together.

Gordon & Gus

Gordon and Gus are our two pugs. They are seven and four years old. They are so funny and loving towards all kids that visit our home.

They are looking forward to eating some (or all) of the food the baby drops on the floor. We love them very much and cannot wait to share them with our children.

Thank You

We have tried to imagine you reading this letter-wondering if we have been able to communicate our joy in the prospect of being parents to your baby. We hope that these few paragraphs and some photos will give you a glimpse into our lives and what a safe, loving and joyful home we promise to provide your child.

Please know how much we appreciate that you have considered us and know that we will do everything we can for your child. We feel adoption gives us and you the chance to know that your child will be nurtured to become a healthy, caring, happy and peaceful person. We look forward to being able to tell your child about you and the brave, unselfish, and loving decision you made for them.

We also want you to know that we intend to make sure your baby knows what a difficult and brave decision you made for them by making an adoption plan. You will always be loved and valued for that. Thank you for learning more about us. We wish you the very best as you make this difficult decision, and we hope that you always know how much we respect your journey.
