Dear Birth Parents,
Hi there! We’re Ryan and Pia, and we’re so grateful you’re taking the time to learn about us. The idea of welcoming a child into our lives through adoption means the world to us, and we hope our story gives you a sense of who we are. Whatever you decide, we wish you and your child all the happiness and peace. We’d love the chance to meet you and hear about your journey too.
We originally met in college, but it wasn’t until after graduation, when we spent more time together, that we really connected. There was just something special about each other that felt right—we were drawn to each other’s adventurous spirit, shared goofiness, and how everything seemed to feel more fun and meaningful when we were together. Dating felt natural, like an exciting new chapter, and we found ourselves bonding over our love for exploring new places, trying out unique coffee shops and restaurants, and cruising side by side on motorcycle rides.
It didn’t take long for us to know this was it. So, during one of our most memorable vacations, we got engaged, ready to make it official. A year and a half later, we said “I do” surrounded by our closest friends and family, in a celebration full of love and laughter. Since then, we’ve continued to embrace life together—whether through travel, local festivals, or taking on new challenges every year. And we cherish the little things just as much: early morning coffee dates, walks with our dog, or game nights with friends that leave us laughing for hours. Now, we’re ready and excited to share this love with a child, to open our hearts and home through the beautiful journey of adoption.
Our hobbies include staying active with just about anything outdoors, motorcycle riding, and exploring new places (especially for food and coffee). We also love game nights and spending time with our family and friends.
Together, we love to see and experience new places, people, and foods! We appreciate the beauty of world around us, and try to soak in as much as we can each year, whether it's around our home or a far off destination. Most recently, we had the opportunity to spend time traveling Europe.
We both come from somewhat small families, but regardless of size they remain extremely important to us. We have many traditions that we look forward to each season. Many of them have been passed down from our parents and we are excited to share them with our future child.
Our home is a cozy two-story house nestled in the southwestern United States, surrounded by beautiful desert landscapes and green common areas with playgrounds. We have a large backyard with a firepit, perfect for making s’mores on cool evenings.
Our neighborhood is filled with families, with kids often playing outside, and we’re close to several schools, making it ideal for a growing family. Nearby, there’s an event center that hosts farmer’s markets and seasonal events throughout the year, bringing even more community activities and excitement to our area.
We have always dreamed of becoming parents and raising a child in a loving home. We are incredibly excited about adopting and have so much love to share as we expand our family. Please know that we will unconditionally love and cherish your child, and we will ensure they grow up feeling proud to be adopted. We hope this book has given you a glimpse into our lives, and we look forward to the possibility of meeting you. Thank you for taking the time to read our story.
Sincerely,
Ryan & Pia
