We are Becca, Brad, and Ari, and we are looking forward to growing our family through adoption.
We simply want to share our love with another child, and we hope this profile helps you get to know us. We are excited, anxious, optimistic, and feeling so many other emotions, and we can’t begin to imagine what you are feeling.
Brad is an engineer, Becca is a pediatric nursing professor, and Ari is in first grade. We share our home with our dog, Sheldon, and our cat, Oxnard. We live in the suburbs of Southeastern Michigan, close to the local elementary school and lots of parks. We love visiting museums, especially the Henry Ford Museum, and we have Michigan football season tickets. We love adventures, we love being at home just as much: reading, playing games, and spending time together.
We want you to know what we value and what we will teach your baby. They will grow up with unwavering love and support, and we will encourage them to be whoever and whatever they want to be. We will help them succeed in whatever they love; this year, Ari is taking a coding class and drum lessons. We will raise our children with a strong sense of what is right and to celebrate the differences in people. As a family, we learn about diverse cultures, attend protests for the rights we believe in, and vote together. We will teach them that fighting for what is right is always worth it. Above all, we will teach our children to be good humans who treat others with kindness and respect.
We will always be open with your child about their adoption story. We have been reading Ari books about all kinds of families, and he is so excited to welcome a baby brother or sister. Families come in many forms, and we would love to be a family of four with both a biological and an adopted child. We promise to love both of our children equally while celebrating each of them as individuals. We already imagine getting your baby ready for their first day of school and, someday, their senior prom. We also know that you are, and always will be, an important part of their life, and we hope you will continue to be part of their journey if you choose.
Being parents has been the most rewarding experience of our lives, and we are thrilled to start that journey again with you and your baby. We know parenting isn’t always easy, but we welcome both the joys and the challenges, and we will always fill our home with joy, laughter, and love.
Our promise to you is unconditional love. We will give your baby every opportunity to follow their dreams, cheering them on when they succeed and offering a shoulder to cry on when they don’t. Because a connection to their biological history is so important, we promise it will be supported and never lost, and we promise to share this amazing journey with you as we grow together.
