Our Neighborhood	We live in a beautiful neighborhood on a cul-de-sac where kids can play right outside the door. We are fortunate to count many of our neighbors as close friends and we get together all of the time for BBQ's, swimming in each other's pools.

We Prefer a Child Who Is...

Age of Child Newborn to three years old

Ethnicity of Child Caucasian, Hispanic, Caucasian/Hispanic

Future Contact with Birth Family We would be happy to discuss whatever you are thinking: letters, photos, calls or visits.
We have an open relationship with Ciara's birthmother where we share photos and occasional phone calls and this has been very beneficial to everyone, a child can never have too many people who love them.

Our Promise to You We promise to continue what you have started. You are putting your baby's needs first and we promise to always do the same. Your child will have the warmth and craziness of a large extended family, a loving big sister and two parents who love each other and their children with all their hearts. We promise to raise your child in a way that is worthy of the trust you have instilled in us and to ensure a life of love, laughter and opportunity.
