Dear friend,
Hello! We are Chris and Tim, a young couple living in the northeast looking to start a family through adoption. Thank you for considering us to be part of your story!
A Little About Us
We both work in tech and our hobbies include music, cooking, home renovation and skiing. We are devoted dog parents to our beautiful golden retriever, Lilo, and we love spending time with our three young nephews and newborn niece.
Our Story
Six years ago we met at a local beer garden. We were introduced by a mutual friend who thought we would be a great match. They were right! We instantly connected on our common interests and values. Being normally shy people, we were surprised by how comfortable we were with each other right away. It felt like we had known each other forever! Not too long after, we were dating and meeting each other’s families.
When talking about our future, it was clear to both of us that we wanted to get married and start a family. We got engaged on Christmas Day and had a small wedding ceremony at our home the following year. It was perfect! Since then, we’ve continued to be inseparable. We’ve bought (and renovated) our home, raised our dog Lilo, traveled, and watched plenty of shows, cozy on our couch – all together.
About Chris (by Tim)
One of the things I most love about Chris is that he always prioritizes family. No matter how crazy life gets, he’s always there to help. Like when he stayed with his mom for a week to care for her after a surgery or when he babysits our nephews when their parents need a getaway. And at home, Chris constantly spoils me with delicious homemade dinners and helps me handle stressful days with support and hugs. It’s clear that Chris is going to make a fantastic father!
I can always count on Chris to figure out how to fix something around the house. He’s a great problem-solver – if there’s something he doesn’t know how to do (not much!), he takes on the challenge to learn a new skill. We’ve worked on some super-intimidating renovation projects that I really couldn’t do without Chris.
Chris has led a very successful career as a software engineer. He is incredibly smart and has high expectations of himself and others to make the best product possible. His job has also allowed him to meet some very close friends whom I’ve gotten to know and even traveled with!
About Tim (by Chris)
In high school Tim was active in the jazz band and soccer team, but he also excelled academically. He went to a renowned engineering school and moved to California after graduating to start a career in special effects. I am always so proud when I see his name in the credits of a major film.
Tim grew up only fifteen minutes from me, although we never met as kids. He has always been close with his family, especially his parents and younger sister. Even now he texts his Mom every day and we eat Sunday dinner with them often. Tim is also a rock and support for his younger sister as she raises her two young children. He cares so much for our dog Lilo. He is always thinking about her well-being and spoiling her. No one could ask for a better Dad.
As a husband and person, I can be stubborn. It’s a good thing Tim has a seemingly endless amount of patience. I’ve never heard him get angry at a colleague, friend, or family member. He will keep trying until he gets it right, and he won’t make you feel bad when he’s right.
Our Home
We live in a spacious single family home in a small suburban town in the northeast. We moved in about five years ago and have worked since to renovate and make this our forever home. It’s important to us to have a comfortable space to live and raise a family in.
Our town has an excellent school system and an active local Pride group that makes us feel at home. The donut shop is what really keeps us here though (mostly kidding). Proximity to a world-class city, diverse food and cultures, and the beautiful nature all around us are why we continue to love the northeast.
We live within driving distance to most of our extended family and love spending time with them on a regular basis. Whether it’s attending a birthday, hosting a holiday party at our house, or just meeting our parents for dinner, there’s always a family event that keeps us all close.
Our Promise
We promise to love your child every minute of every day. We will teach them about their story and how much you loved them. And we will ensure that they have the support they need from us, and from our village of family and friends, to grow and thrive.
Thank You
Thank you for taking the time to read about our family. It would be lovely to meet you and learn about your story. We would be honored to be adoptive parents for your child. It shows so much strength and courage on your part to consider the path of adoption. But ultimately, we hope you find the path that is right for you.
If you do choose to entrust us with your child, we would be forever grateful for your incredible act of selflessness.
With love,
Chris and Tim
