Hello! I am Francine and I live in Florida. I can’t wait to become a mother through open adoption! I enjoy playing sports, board games, traveling, and spending time with my immediate and extended family. I am looking forward to sharing and enjoying life experiences and adventures with my future son and/or daughter.
I graduated from college with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, with a specialty in Finance. After graduating college, I enlisted in the Army as an Air Traffic Controller. Four years later, I became a Logistics Officer upon which I provided assistance and training for soldiers and civilians by being an advocate and an instructor. I retired from the Army in 2022 and am looking forward to being a stay-at-home mom. I plan on learning, playing, dancing, and enjoying life with my future child.

Things I enjoy:
Why I'm Adopting
I want to be a mother! I desire to nurture and love unconditionally a child of my own.
When I was 34, I had emergency surgery that resulted in my fertility issues. Throughout my adult life, I have had medical issues due to fibroids. I tried IVF twice and was unsuccessful. Even though I cannot have biological children, I still want children of my own. I am also choosing to adopt because from an early age I have always had the desire to adopt. I am excited to welcome a child into my life who I can share all the adventures and experiences this wonderful world has to offer.
My Family
My father lives in Florida and my mother lives in Canada. Both of my parents play an integral role in my life, past and present. Although they are not together, they enjoy spending holidays and birthdays with me at my home together. Because Florida has wonderful weather and spectacular attractions, everyone congregates at my house. I have two brothers and together they have 7 children. They are all adults now and since Canada is not ideal for sun and fun, during the holidays I always have a bustling home.
When my family is in town, we enjoy barbecuing/grilling, playing board games (Snakes and Ladders), cards (Uno/Spades), dominos and mahjong, swimming in the pool, biking, and taking evening strolls throughout the neighborhood.
I have a two-year-old, 7-pound poodle named Truffle who will be great with my future child.
My Home & Neighborhood
I live in a single-story, 5-bedroom home, with a room already designated for a nursery. The backyard has a screened in patio with a pool and spa. There is plenty of room for a play and swing set too.
I live in a gated community with several great amenities, including an Olympic-size swimming pool, a gym, several tennis and pickleball courts, along with a volleyball beach area and a children’s play area. The community is very friendly, and we have monthly activities scheduled throughout the year for fellowship and fun, such as karaoke (children and adults), ice cream/food trucks, photos with Santa and the Easter bunny, and holiday parties (fourth of July and school opening and closing).
There are sidewalks throughout the neighborhood, so children can safely ride their bikes and play; additionally, I live on a cul-de-sac with minimal traffic.
I Love Traveling
Traveling is a major part of my life. I enjoy meeting new people and exploring different cultures. One of the items on my bucket list is to visit all 7 continents.
During the holidays, I enjoy traveling to Florida to see my father and Canada to see my mother. Almost every summer, both my parents, friends, and family come to visit me.
One of my favorite travel experiences was with my mom to Africa. In Africa, we visited Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, the Serengeti in Kenya, and went on a safari and experienced the wildlife up-close. We also visited Seychelles, where we relaxed on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
I look forward to traveling with my future child!
My Promise
I promise to provide a stable and nurturing home and life for your baby. I will ensure that your child has everything he/she needs to feel comfortable confiding in me about anything. I will provide unconditional love, motivation and support. I promise to always surround your child with caring and family and friends.
I am open to sending you photo updates, and I’d love to discuss other forms of communication you are open to.
I’d love to talk or answer any of your questions. Please call or text Lifetime at 1.800.923.6784.

I am blessed to get the opportunity to explore the world, and I know that the adventures have only begun! I cannot wait to add a travel buddy to my forever family!
Faith
I am a spiritual person and believe in the "Golden Rule"--we should treat others as we would like to be treated.
As a child, I attended a private Catholic school; however, today I mostly attend non-denominational churches.
Church has always been a mainstay in my life, and I will ensure that it is a part of my child's life also.
My Musical Interests
I love classical music, jazz, Mozart, Kenney G, Luther Vandross, Mariah Carey, Marvin Gaye, Sade, Phil Collins and the list goes on!
3 Things on My Bucket List
1. I plan to visit every continent on the planet (with my child)
2. I want to sky dive and go on a hot air ballon ride (I will wait until my child is old enough to go with me)
3. Visit Tibet and spend some time at a monastery (to learn to relax and enjoy all that life has to offer)
In Closing
I promise to love your child unconditionally. Thank you so much for taking the time to learn more about me. Your child's life will be filled with love, kindness, and joy. I promise to provide a stable home, an adventurous education, and experiences that will allow them to be a cultured and understanding human being. Most importantly, I promise to include you in our family’s life story, at your discretion.
