Dear Birth Mother: THANK YOU for considering us as adoptive parents for your child – we’re honored and grateful!
Over the next few pages you will get a snapshot of our lives; who we are, how we met, our life and our family. As you can see from our pictures, we don’t look like your average couple! We are unable to have a biological child and hope to expand our family through adoption.
WE BELIEVE WE HAVE LOTS TO OFFER OUR FUTURE CHILD – including a supporting network of family and friends, a safe and secure home and a childhood that we will fill with lots of love, laughter and wonderful opportunities to learn and grow. We hope we get the chance to talk or meet you soon!
About Us, by Jeremy: While we were both born and raised in New York, we met on the other side of the country in Los Angeles, CA. A good friend of Esther’s was dating a good friend of mine, and in the months following we spent a good amount of time in the same group. I fell for Esther pretty quickly, but it took me a few months to work up the courage to ask her out on date. The timing was perfect, however, and she said yes!
We knew early on we had found something special. Esther introduced me to vegetables and sushi (which I now love!). I introduced Esther to fantasy football (which she now knows well enough to make fun of me when I lose every week). We discovered a shared passion for trying new food – whether it is a new restaurant or experimenting on new recipes at home. WE ALSO FOUND A SHARED DESIRE TO BUILD A LIFE TOGETHER WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS, FULL OF GENEROSITY, HOSPITALITY AND LOVE.
I proposed to Esther overlooking the Pacific Ocean at one of our favorite spots. We were married later that year.
Looking back, 7 years in, it is even more clear that we were fortunate to find each other. OUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER HAS GROWN DEEPER EACH DAY, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE MANY YEARS OF LIFE TOGETHER AHEAD!
Fun Facts About Us:
• We enjoy RUNNING DISNEYLAND 10KS together!
• We love to TRAVEL – in our first year of marriage alone, we traveled to Haiti, Hawaii and Italy.
• We enjoy HAVING FRIENDS OVER AT OUR PLACE — whether it be drinks on our patio, dinner parties, just to watch TV or game night.
• We are both fairly ADVENTUROUS EATERS (even bugs!)
