Dear Birthmom
Dear Birthmom
To a Brave and Selfless Mother,
We can only imagine the difficult decision you are facing. We understand the strength it takes to make these choices and recognize you as a courageous individual.
Adopting a child is a responsibility we do not take lightly. Our lives were forever changed when we grew our family through adoption the first time. We are now the proud parents of a wonderful son, and this journey has taught us that adoption is about expanding the circle of love. We share a beautiful, flourishing relationship with our son’s birth mother, which has deepened our commitment to honesty and open hearts.
Our home is filled with laughter and tradition. Whether we are on vacation, at the beach, or enjoying quiet weekends, we cherish every moment. We are so excited to see our son become a big brother and to share these experiences with a new child.
If you choose us, we will respect your level of comfort regarding communication. Your child will always know of your selflessness and the love it took to make this decision. We believe it is essential to celebrate the role you play in bringing our family together, and we are open to any level of relationship you desire.
We remain hopeful and excited to grow our family again. We wish you peace and support during this time. Thank you for considering our family and taking the time to learn about us.
Warmest regards,
Ray & Britt

Our Story
Our story began when we first met in 2010, but fate had a longer timeline in mind. It wasn’t until 2020, when a mutual friend reconnected us, that our spark truly caught fire. We have been inseparable ever since. From those very first conversations, we knew we had finally found "the one."
Like any couple, we have navigated a full spectrum of emotions, but every challenge has only served to pull us closer. Together, we have faced the heartbreak of losing loved ones, finding solace in each other's arms and watching our love grow through the grieving process. We are truly best friends and soulmates who share a vibrant passion for music, great food, entertaining, and traveling the world.
There is no better feeling than experiencing life with your best friend by your side. However, nothing has compared to the joy of this past year. Seeing each other become parents has fundamentally changed us, strengthening our mutual respect and deepening a love we didn't know could get any stronger.

Our Extended Family
Ray has one brother, seven cousins, two parents, and two adorable nephews with another surprise on the way. Every thanksgiving, our extended family meets in one place to celebrate together. This is always such an amazing time for everyone to get together since our family is scattered across the country. Ray and his family have gone down to Long Beach Island his entire life like clockwork; this family tradition has stayed constant in his life, and it is where his love for the beach began.
Brittany’s favorite family tradition, aside from Sunday dinners at her parents’ house, is their Christmas Eve celebration hosted at Brittany and Ray’s house. This includes her three siblings, parents, and 12 nieces and nephews. Each Christmas Eve there is an elaborate dinner inspired by the Feast of Seven Fishes. The night is filled with family, games, and even a surprise visit from Santa to hand out gifts. Family is so important to both of us, and we can’t wait to start new traditions with our growing family.

Our Home
Our home is in the heart of a vibrant Connecticut beach town, steps from the green, parks, and shore. We spend summers enjoying beach dinners and sunset walks with our son and our two dogs, Henry and Pastina.
Inside, our three-bedroom home features a large, finished playroom perfect for jungle gyms and basketball hoops; outside, we have a fenced yard and large above ground pool. Family is the center of our lives—with cousins, siblings, and Brittany’s parents living just minutes away, we are constantly surrounded by a loving support system. In our safe, close-knit community, your child will grow up enveloped in laughter, coastal adventures, and the constant presence of family.

Our Journey to Adoption
After surviving stage four cancer as an infant, Brittany always knew adoption would be her path to motherhood. Ray has been her steadfast partner in this vision, viewing adoption as a beautiful, sacred way to build a family.
Having successfully adopted our son, our commitment to this journey has only deepened. We have navigated the process, experienced its profound joy, and built a wonderful relationship with our son’s birth mother. We now understand firsthand the courage involved and the love that connects us all. We are beyond excited to go through this journey again, eager to grow our family and give our son the sibling he deserves. Our hearts are wide open and ready for this next chapter.
