Dear Expectant Parent,
Dear Expectant Parent,
First, we want to acknowledge your strength and courage. We cannot begin to understand the emotions you are experiencing, but we see you, respect you, and are honored to share our story with you.
If you choose adoption, we promise to raise your child in a home filled with warmth, laughter, and unconditional love. We will honor their story and ensure they grow up knowing how deeply they are loved, not just by us, but by you as well. Thank you for considering gifting us the opportunity to raise this child.
No matter where this journey takes you, please know we are sending you love, support, and appreciation.

Our Story
Our Story
Like so many modern love stories, ours began with a simple swipe on a dating app. What started as a few lighthearted messages quickly turned into hours of conversation filled with laughter, kindness, and an undeniable connection. Our first date said it all: we shared a pizza and cheered on our favorite MLB team, and from that moment on, we knew there was something truly special between us.
Over the years, our relationship has been built on trust, partnership, and unwavering support for one another. We push each other to chase our dreams while staying grounded in love, family, and shared values.
Ashton is the chief of staff for a boutique wealth planning firm, and Shaina is a registered dental assistant. We both work hard but always make time for the people and moments that matter most. Whether it is planning trips, cooking together, or taking our dog on hikes, we prioritize making new memories and sharing experiences with those that we love.
Throughout our many years together, we have always dreamt of becoming parents. It was something we bonded over from the very beginning, and after 5 years of unsuccessful fertility treatment, we are ready to meet our baby. We know they’re out there, and we’re ready—ready for the sleepless nights, the early mornings, and the love that will make our family whole.
Our Why
Our Why
Family has always been at the center of our lives. For years, we dreamed of becoming parents and building a family together. After enduring numerous infertility challenges and heartbreak, we believe adoption isn’t just our only option; it is the path we are truly meant to follow.
We believe with all our hearts that love is what makes a family. Any child we are lucky enough to parent will be cherished not just by us, but by an extended circle of relatives and friends eager to help them grow and thrive.
Our goal is to provide a home where they feel safe, encouraged to pursue their passions, and empowered to become who they are meant to be. This environment will be supported by caring friends, close-knit family members, a strong education, and loving parents.
We also recognize this journey is not just about us. It is about you, your strength, and your love. We honor the courage it takes to consider adoption and promise to respect your role in your child’s story, in whatever way you choose to share it.
Our Promise
Our Promise
If you choose us to be your child’s adoptive parents, we promise to provide a home filled with unconditional love, laughter, and security. Your child will always know their story and where they came from. We promise to raise them surrounded by family, with an emphasis on finding their unique talents and contributions, and in a space where they will be encouraged to learn and grow up to be the best possible version of themselves.
We also promise to honor and respect you. You will always be a part of your child’s story, and they will grow up knowing how much they were loved from the very
beginning.
No matter what you decide, thank you for considering us. We have so much love to give, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to become parents.
