Tommy & Alina

Hello from the beautiful state of Oregon! We currently both work full-time. Tommy is an administrative assistant and Alina is a high school math teacher (excited to become a stay-at-home mom!). We love Jesus and are very active in our local church community. We enjoy many activities such as hiking, working out, going for walks, disc golfing, and reading.

We know that this journey begins with you, and we would be honored to get to know you and hear your story. We are flexible and adaptable to meeting with you and learning more about you. We want you to know that you will always be treated with love, kindness, respect, and compassion. We believe that God has led us to adoption, and while we don’t know what His plan looks like, we trust that He is guiding us through each step of this journey. Our hope is to build a genuine relationship with you. We are praying for you, and we pray that God gives you peace, wisdom, and comfort as you make the decisions that are best for you and your child.

About Us

We have been married for over 10 years, and through every season of life, our relationship has continued to deepen. We met through our local church’s college ministry, and we have always believed the best adventures are the ones we share together.

Our faith in Jesus has always been at the center of our relationship. As we prayed about growing our family, we felt God leading us toward adoption. We feel incredibly blessed by the opportunity to provide a loving, safe, and Christ-centered home where a child can grow, thrive, and always know they are deeply loved.

We enjoy spending time together, whether exploring new places, trying new foods, watching movies, playing board games, caring for our pet snake, or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home. We also treasure time with family and friends and believe the little moments often become the most memorable ones.

As we look toward the future, we are excited to welcome a baby into our family. We dream of reading bedtime stories, singing our child to sleep, celebrating milestones, taking family vacations, and creating traditions of our own. Most of all, we look forward to loving our child unconditionally, guiding them through each stage of life, and helping them discover the unique person God created them to be.

About Alina

Tommy says: One of the many things I love about my wife is her kind and compassionate heart. She makes everyone around her feel welcomed, valued, and loved. She is supportive, patient, thoughtful, and selfless, always putting others before herself. Her joyful spirit and wonderful sense of humor bring laughter into our home, and she has a quiet strength that carries us through both easy and difficult seasons. She also knows how to put up with my silly antics! Watching the way she cares for our family, friends, and those around her leaves no doubt that she will be an amazing mother.

Alina enjoys being a high school math teacher because she has the opportunity to make a positive difference in her students’ lives. She is hardworking, dependable, and approaches everything with excellence and integrity. She genuinely cares about those she serves. Her interests include slow mornings with a delicious pastry and hot coffee, spending time with family and friends, baking, reading, DIY projects, playing board games, and doing puzzles.

Alina plans to take time off work to be a stay-at-home mom and is excited to share her love, faith, and compassion with our child. She looks forward to reading bedtime stories, baking cookies, celebrating milestones, and creating family memories.

About Tommy

Alina says: One of the things I admire most about my husband is his genuine, caring heart and servant’s spirit. He is always willing to lend a helping hand to family, friends, or even a stranger. He is dependable, hardworking, and his humor brings joy and laughter into our home. His faith is the foundation of who he is, and I have watched him continually seek God’s guidance as he leads our family. He loves deeply, serves others wholeheartedly, and makes me feel loved and supported every day. I have no doubt he will be an incredible father.

Tommy works as an administrative assistant and enjoys being able to help and serve others each day. He takes pride in his work and values the relationships he builds with those around him.

His interests include serving at church and small group, running, weightlifting, neighborhood walks, board games, fantasy novels, collecting Pokémon cards, Marvel movies, disc golfing, and bird watching. He especially enjoys spending time outdoors and appreciating God’s creation.

Tommy is excited to share life’s adventures with our child. He looks forward to singing them to sleep, reading bedtime stories with funny voices, sharing his love of Pokémon, teaching them board games, and making them laugh with dad jokes. Most of all, he hopes to teach them about God’s love through his own example and be a father who listens, encourages, and treasures every moment.

Our Family

Family is incredibly important to both of us, and we feel blessed to have a loving and supportive extended family that is excited to welcome our future child with open arms.

Alina is the youngest of three siblings, and her parents and siblings live a few hours away. We make weekend trips to visit every other month, enjoying family meals with her sister, her two children, and her brother, sister-in-law, and their two children. We also stay connected with her parents through weekly phone calls, and they occasionally come visit us.

Tommy’s family is spread across the world, but distance has never lessened our love for one another. His mom lives in Arizona, while his three older brothers live in Japan, Germany, and Oregon. We travel to Arizona once a year and see his brother in Oregon once a month. We also stay connected with family through phone calls, and visits whenever possible.

From the moment we shared that God was leading us to adoption, our families have supported us through prayers, encouragement, and excitement. Our child will be surrounded by grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins who will love them unconditionally. We look forward to sharing family meals, game nights, birthdays, holidays, outdoor activities, and weekend visits while creating new traditions of our own.

Our Home in Oregon

We are blessed to call Oregon home, living about an hour and a half from the beautiful Oregon Coast. Our cozy, single-story home is located in a quiet neighborhood on a cul-de-sac. It has three bedrooms, including one we have already begun setting up as a nursery for our future child. We also have a spacious, fenced backyard that we look forward to filling with laughter, games, and family memories. We love that two parks are within walking distance, giving us plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors together.

One of our favorite things about our home is its open-concept layout. The living room, dining area, and kitchen all flow together, creating a warm and inviting space where we can cook, play games, and spend time together. We especially look forward to sharing this space as a family and enjoying the everyday moments of life together.

We have also enjoyed making our home our own through projects like painting the kitchen cabinets and creating an accent wall. We look forward to continuing to make our home a place filled with faith, love, laughter, and wonderful memories as our family grows.
