It is so nice to meet you! We are grateful that you are taking the time to learn about us, and we are hopeful to have the opportunity to get to know you as well. We know this is not an easy decision, and respect the strength you have to explore the possibility of adoption. We pray that you have support around you as you make the decision that is right for you.

We hope this profile provides you with a sense of who we are and that you can picture the life of unconditional love that we would provide to our future children.

With love and appreciation,
Amy & Pete

We have always dreamed of having children. After years of trying to conceive naturally, we knew adoption was the way we wanted to grow our family.

When we decided to adopt, we felt a sense of peace knowing this is the path
God has for us. Adopting is something we have talked about for a long time, and we are excited that now is the right time for our family.

We met in that classic, romantic way that so many love stories start these days – online! Despite having several mutual friends and even being in the same room at least once during college, we never met until a dating app matched us after we graduated and settled into our careers. We started chatting in late summer and were both a bit nervous to start dating with football season around the corner until we discovered that, as fate would have it, we were both Virginia Tech football season ticket holders. We met in person for the first time, the night before our home opener, and felt an instant connection, and the rest is history!

When Pete proposed on Valentine’s Day, he suggested we get married on a specific day in October. Amy was thrilled because it meant we would share an anniversary with her grandparents. It also allowed us to have a long wedding weekend that was so very “us.” We kicked off the weekend with a big tailgate before a Thursday night Virginia Tech football game and then had a beautiful wedding on campus on Saturday, just a short
distance from where we first met. We had a fun reception following the ceremony to celebrate with our family and friends, including the Virginia Tech mascot, the HokieBird!

We know sometimes family are those related to you by blood, and sometimes family are those you choose. If you choose us to raise your child, know that your child will be loved and surrounded by a village of family and friends who will be there to support and cheer them on no matter where life leads. We will speak of you and their adoption story with love and respect.

We promise to raise them in a loving home full of laughter and to give them every opportunity we can. We will celebrate life’s joys and be there as a team to persevere through life’s challenges. We will encourage them to chase their dreams – no matter how big they are.

We look forward to developing a relationship with you that works for all of us. Thank you for taking
some time to get to know us. We hope to have the opportunity to get to know you. We are praying for you and your child and wish you the very best.
