We feel humbled that you might consider us as adoptive parents, and we hope this glimpse into our lives will help you get to know us better.

Our journey began through online dating, where we quickly connected over our passion for music, great food, and a positive life philosophy. On our first date at a cozy café, the conversation flowed so easily that it felt like we had known each other for years.
- Andrew’s intelligence and love of music immediately drew Caci in.
- Caci’s warmth and sparkling smile captivated Andrew from the very start.
Since then, we’ve been inseparable—traveling, creating memories, and building a life rooted in mutual respect and genuine joy.

Downstairs, we have a comfortable space for movie nights, board games, and a home gym to stay active. Our backyard features a chicken coop for farm-fresh eggs, and a peaceful porch perfect for morning coffee.
A Typical Day
- Morning: We start with a walk or jog accompanied by our poodle, Billie Holiday. Andrew often cooks breakfast—he loves experimenting in the kitchen.
- Work: Andrew runs a music nonprofit from home and also teaches music lessons, while Caci works as a medical assistant in family practice, bringing warmth and care to her patients.
- Evening: We wind down by cooking dinner, sharing stories of the day, and often curling up to read or watch a movie. Andrew also spends some time practicing his music.
- Weekends: Reserved for family get-togethers, visiting local parks, and tackling home improvement projects—sometimes with the help of Andrew’s dad, who loves building and renovating right alongside us!
Our Passions & Hobbies
- Music: Andrew is a professional musician, filling our home with saxophone, guitar, flute, and more. We can’t wait to share a love of music with a child, encouraging them to find their own form of self-expression.
- Food: We both enjoy cooking, especially Indian cuisine—curries, roti, and paneer are favorites in our house.
- Outdoor Adventures: We love scenic drives, hiking in the nearby canyon, and gardening in our backyard.
- Quality Time: Teaching Billie new tricks, hosting game nights, or snuggling into our reading nook under the stairs are some of our favorite ways to stay connected.
Our Values & Promise
Kindness is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in:
- Showing Compassion: Whether volunteering in our community or helping neighbors, we aim to be there for others.
- Fostering Creativity & Growth: We’ll encourage a child’s interests—be it music, art, sports, or something we haven’t even discovered yet.
- Building Family Traditions: From cooking together to celebrating milestones, we want a home filled with laughter, music, and cherished memories.
- Honoring Your Role: We’re committed to openness about adoption, ensuring your child knows their story. We respect the level of contact and communication that feels right for you and your child.
We promise to provide a loving, supportive, and nurturing home where your child will be cherished every day. We’ll stand by them through every success and challenge, encouraging them to become the person they’re meant to be.
Thank You
Thank you again for considering us. Becoming parents has been our greatest hope, and we’re so grateful for the chance to share our hearts and home with a child. We wish you peace and clarity as you navigate this journey, and we’re here to answer any questions you may have.

Andrew & Caci
