Firstly, thank you for the decision you are making. We know this is not an easy one to make, one that we understand is life-changing and impactful. Your sacrifice is so giving and noble and it takes a special individual to make such a choice. Your selflessness and courage gives us the opportunity to build the family we have always dreamed of. We thank you for even taking the time to read about and consider us.

Adoption has always been part of our plan. And you are helping us see this dream come true. There will never be enough thank yous.

We always knew we wanted children. After we began seriously dating and talking about our future, we knew adoption was something we wanted to do if we had the opportunity.

The plan was always to have one biologically and adopt. But things don’t always go exactly as planned. However, it gave us the opportunity we needed to move forward with
adoption!

We are excited to provide a loving home for a child and provide all we can for them.
We can’t wait to be parents!

We met in the summer of 2002 through mutual friends. We spent that summer building a friendship and getting to know one another. Femy became sick that summer and spent some time in the hospital. Rob came to visit her every day, which helped Femy focus on something other than her health.

From then on, we have been inseparable. We grew up together and experienced life together. We learned from one another. Rob introduced Femy to new food experiences, like sushi. Femy introduced Rob to the world of Harry Potter and musicals. While dating as broke college kids, one of the romantic dates we would go on would be walking through the aisles of Target looking at things we would buy for our future home.

After 8 years of dating, we got engaged and started filling that home with things we talked about during our Target dates. 10 years later we are ready for the next step, filling our home with things for a child to grow up in and be loved!

Becoming parents has been a goal we have had with one another early on in our relationship. We promise to never take for granted the difficult decision you made to help us achieve this goal.

We promise to provide a home filled with laughter, love, understanding, and support. We promise to encourage our child to be curious, explore, make mistakes, and learn. We promise to work hard to provide every opportunity this child deserves and more.

More than anything, we promise to love this child more than our hearts have ever known to love before.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about us and consider us.
