Letters

Dear Expectant Mother

Dear Birth Mother,

The first thing we want to say is thank you for considering us to be the caregivers of your child. Neither of us could ever begin to understand the emotional journey you may or may not be on, but we want to express our deepest gratitude for even the possibility to make our wildest dreams come true.

The two of us have dreamed of being parents long before we met. It’s been a life long goal for both of us, something we connected over early in our relationship.

Becoming dads would be the biggest honor and opportunity anyone could ever give us. And with that, we promise to do everything in our power to love, support, nurture, and educate your child into the strongest, most capable person we can.

We promise to laugh with them, cry with them, try new experiences with them. Help them to become the best, most caring person they can be.

We promise to give them everything we can.

This is our first time navigating the adoption process so please be patient with us and we promise to be patient with you as well.

And we want to thank you, whether you choose us or not, for giving us the opportunity to try.

With our sincerest respect and admiration,
Rob and Larry

Our Story

Our love story began how many begin in modern times. Larry and Rob met on a dating app in December 2019. It was an instant connection. We fell for each other fast and our love continues to deepen each day. Rob is a Special Education Teacher in an inner-city Middle School. He works with students with learning disabilities who are often living in difficult socioeconomic living conditions and are from immigrant families. Rob also teaches English to adults. Larry is a pediatric critical care nurse working in a local pediatric hospital in the ICU.
We are firm believers everything happens exactly HOW it is meant to and WHEN it is meant to. We got engaged in winter of 2022, saved up for our dream home, moved into our forever home August of 2024 and hosted our wedding in our very own backyard July of 2025. We filled our yard with over 150 family members and friends that have supported us through the journey of life and who will support us through our journey of parenthood.
While it’s difficult to get to know someone from a few blurbs about their life, we will try our best to describe who we are. Larry is the one telling a joke that makes the entire room laugh. Rob is the one re-telling the story about “That one time” making sure to not miss a detail. Larry is the one in the kitchen cooking up Sunday Sauce while we have our family over for Sunday dinner. Rob is the one with his Camera ready to take pictures so moments are never forgotten. Larry will be the one to teach our little one how to tie their shoes and ride their bike. Rob will be the one teaching them to read and telling bedtime stories before bed.

Why Adoption works best for us

“On the first day that we matched and began speaking, Larry asked me my perspective on children. I told him sorry and shared that yes, I wanted to be a dad. It felt so ridiculous apologizing for what made my heart so happy but so many same-sex couples I was friends with had shared they did not want kids. I began to convince myself how strange it was with how natural fatherhood felt to me for my future. After my response, Larry shared that he too wanted to be a father and it was a non-negotiable for him when looking for a partner. There we were, having known each other for only a few hours, agreeing on one major decision -- being dads was our life’s goal.”

The idea of adoption was very organic for us. While we recognize adoption isn’t for everyone, it is the choice that our hearts made for us. We know that while it may be an uncertain journey, the baby of our dreams is out there waiting for us to welcome them home.

Our Promises

We are committed to honesty, respect, and openness. We are more than willing to share photos, updates, and communication with us about them in whatever way feels right for you.

We want our children to live a life where they feel safe, happy, and loved. We want them to know we will support them in the hobbies and sports they wish to pursue. We will be cheering them on at every game. We will be supporting them to ensure education is also a value for them. We want to see them pursue college or training for a career that they truly love, just as we love the careers we have for ourselves. We want them to know we will help guide them through life and support them through every obstacle they face.
As we close our profile, we want to share the promises we would make to your child, should you choose us. We promise to raise them with unconditional love, patience, and stability. We promise to support their interests, nurture their dreams, and give them every opportunity to grow into the person they are meant to be.
