Welcome! We are Mike and Molly (and our son, Mac!) We are honored that you are taking the time to get to know us. In the following pages we hope you will learn about what loving parents we could be for your child. We truly admire you for choosing adoption and we think it is an incredibly loving and selfless decision. It would be a dream come true to become parents again through the miracle of adoption. We have enjoyed every part of parenthood so far, even the teething nights and the funky diapers. By considering us as parents for your child, you are giving us the chance to realize this dream. We can never fully express our gratitude for the lifelong gift of a child.
We are excited about becoming parents again through adoption and becoming a family of four.
Our son MacReady (Mac) is very social and very excited at the idea of having a sibling and co-superhero to fight bad guys and help people.
We also have our dog Ruby who loves to cuddle and be part of what the whole family is doing. She too would be thrilled with a new addition to the family!
While we were not able to have biological children of our own, adoption was always part of our family plan. We will love and support this child. As a family we think of ourselves as a team doing things together. We will work to provide this child (our newest team member) with a life filled with adventure, story-telling, travel, family, laughter, and love.
Our Story: We met over 20 years ago at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, California. We were both working on a movie called “Odd Couple 2: Traveling Light”. We started up a friendship that is the foundation of our relationship today.
We were married 15 years ago on Valentine’s Day.B Growing up we had friends and family who have been adopted. Several of Molly’s cousins have been adopted.
We have been able to see first-hand the joy and happiness brought to families. Having a family has always been our dream. We had tried a few means of having children and our journey has led us here. In 2016 we adopted our first son and it changes our lives in so many ways. We feel so lucky to be parents to him. We come from such big families ourselves and know that our family has room for another special child.
Thank you so much for helping us fulfill our destiny of becoming the family we always wanted to be!
We are an active couple with lots of energy and love to share. We pack our weekends full of fun and family time. We enjoy going to the movies, spending time with friends, soccer practices, swimming in our pool, and walking our dog. We also love to host friends at our house and are known for throwing great barbeques (Molly is the chief BBQer). Traveling is something we love, but we are homebodies and often can’t find a better place to be in the world than home together watching a great movie.
The world is also important to us – exploring other cultures is an interest for us. One of our favorite places we have visited is the Netherlands. We look forward to sharing our adventures with our children!
Our Life Together is full of…

Molly & Mike’s Hobbies and Interests:
• Board games – We have a huge collection of games…close to one thousand! MacReady has started his own collection. He loves helping to set up games and then tries to show others how to play.
• Movies – We both have fond memories of our families taking us to the movies, which engrained in us the love for film. Whether we are at the theater or watching a DVD at home, we always enjoy seeing something new.
• Reading – Both of us like to read. Molly enjoys fantasy/sci-fi, Mike would rather read philosophy and other non-fiction works.
• Baking – (This is more Molly) Molly loves to bake and during the holidays she hosts a cookie baking party. Everyone comes over to bake and frost cookies. We always end up with so many treats! MacReady loves to help decorate cookies.
• BBQing/Pool parties – We love hosting get-togethers with our friends/families. We’ll fire up the grill and swim all day during the hot summer months!
