We are Kyra (pronounced Kira) and Keith, and we are thankful for the opportunity to give you a glimpse into our lives.

We realize you are exploring options and have some difficult and important choices ahead. You are brave, loving, strong, and selfless for considering adoption, and we support whatever decision you make.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us, just as we desire to know you.

Keith and Kyra

We met on a dating app in August 2019 and had our first date at a Mexican restaurant downtown. We both knew early on that we had found someone incredibly special. In spite of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first few months of our relationship, we grew closer and closer over time. We moved into our first apartment together in September 2022 and then bought our first home together the following spring, and a year later, we got married.

We are both close to our families and have strong friendships. We spend a lot of time visiting family and friends in other states or hosting them at our house. We share a love and passion for travel, experiencing new things, dancing, spicy foods, dessert, and so many other things. We have a full and joyful life together.

Even before we were married, we talked about wanting to adopt. We want to share our love and everything that the world has to offer with our child. We’ve always wanted two or three children. After years of trying and finally learning we can’t have a baby, we both knew this was the right path for us, as adoption has been a part of both of our life stories.

Kyra was adopted as an infant from Brazil by a loving and caring family in Michigan. She is the amazing person she is today because of the love, wisdom, and support her parents provided her. Her younger brother, whom we’re both very close to, was adopted from Louisiana. Keith also came to the world in a slightly different way, via surrogacy, and was also technically adopted. He is who he is today because of the love and emotional connection he has with his mother. Adoption is a core part of our identities.

Kyra is the most caring and selfless person I know. Whether it is with her family or mine, friends, neighbors, pets, or even strangers, Kyra displays grace and kindness to every person (and animal) she meets. She is so generous, and she is always thinking of others above herself. Kyra has a great sense of humor and loves to dance around the house with joy.

She passionately cares about her work and various social causes and is committed to making the world a better place.

I am so excited for the day that she becomes a mother because I know she will shower our child with all the love, support, and affection they will ever need.

• Favorite sport: Soccer

Three more words to describe Keith are: supportive, smart, and loyal. I have never met anyone as loyal as he is — whether it’s to his beloved Giants or to the people he loves most. That same loyalty comes hand in hand with his unwavering support for family and friends.

And Keith isn’t just a pretty face — he’s genuinely brilliant. He speaks three languages, can speak to the history and culture of virtually any country, and has a sharp mind for math.

One of my favorite things about Keith is his sense of culinary adventure. He’ll try anything. Whenever we travel, he makes it his mission to track down the best local dish — and he always finds it.

I can’t wait to watch Keith become a father and pass these qualities on to our children.

We want you to know, we cannot wait to share our love and joy with our child when the time is right. Our child will be nurtured, supported, and protected by two loving parents, grandparents, and everyone in our lives. We will focus on the child’s social, emotional, and cultural needs, and education will be a top priority. Most importantly, we will love our child with our whole hearts.

We promise to always share with our child who he/she is and where he/she comes from, and an understanding of the selfless sacrifice you made for him/her. The most important thing for our child is to know that they are loved. We will devote ourselves to providing our child unconditional love and support, acceptance, and security at home and within themselves.

We hope that you find peace in your journey and assurance that whatever decision you make will be the right one.

With love,
Keith and Kyra
