Dear Birthmom
Dear Birthmom
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about us. We recognize that considering adoption carries immense emotion, courage, and love, and we want you to know how deeply we respect you and the journey that has brought you here.
We are Jeffrey and Ryan, and becoming parents has long been a dream we hold close to our hearts. Our desire to adopt comes from a place of intention and love. We believe families are built through commitment, care, and unconditional love—not biology alone—and adoption feels right to us because it is rooted in choice, honesty, and connection.
If we are given the honor of parenting your child, we promise a life filled with love, safety, and acceptance. We will celebrate who they are, nurture their individuality, and raise them in a home where kindness, laughter, and open communication are part of everyday life. We promise to show up fully—especially when things are hard.
We also promise to speak openly and lovingly about their adoption story. Your role and love will always be honored. We want your child to grow up knowing how deeply they were loved from the very beginning.
Our home is one where differences are embraced and love is expressed freely. Whether in quiet moments or big milestones, we are ready to love a child completely and unconditionally.
Thank you for your strength and for considering us. We hold immense gratitude for you and the love you have for your child.
With sincerity and warmth,
Jeffrey and Ryan

Our Story
We love spending our free time together, whether with family and friends or at home with our Cavalier King Charles, Triton. We stay active through spin classes, hiking, dancing, and getting out on the water to kayak or paddleboard during long lake days. At home, we enjoy cooking, painting, taking pottery classes, and unwinding with a good laugh—or cry—watching Harry Potter or reality TV. Traveling is a shared passion, especially exploring Europe and our annual trips to Cape Cod. We also love thrifting and antique shopping wherever we go. Podcasts are part of our daily routine, with favorites like The Toast and Call Her Daddy. Most of all, we value creating a life filled with connection, creativity, laughter, and meaningful experiences we can one day share with a child.
Our Extended Family
The people in our lives are one of our greatest strengths. We were both raised in families where love, support, and time together were priorities, and that deep sense of connection continues to shape our lives today. Family gatherings, shared meals, and everyday check-ins are a constant, and our home is often where everyone naturally comes together.
Jeffrey’s family is close-knit and deeply involved. His mother is supportive and excited about becoming a grandmother again, and his sister and her two young children live nearby. We spend a lot of time together through family dinners, holidays, and spontaneous visits.
Ryan is equally close with his family, especially his mother, who he speaks with almost daily and who has been a constant source of encouragement throughout this journey. His father, brother, and extended family live close by, and we regularly gather for celebrations—many hosted in our home.
Our friends are just as invested. Many come from the dance community and long-standing relationships built over years. They have celebrated our milestones, supported us through change, and wholeheartedly embraced our decision to pursue adoption. To them, adoption is not different—it is a beautiful way for us to become parents.
A child joining our family will be surrounded by love, excitement, and a strong, supportive community ready to welcome them completely.

Our Home
Our home is a cozy A-frame lakefront house in Connecticut that feels both peaceful and connected to a close-knit community. Surrounded by nature and filled with natural light and laughter, it offers space to grow and make memories. We have direct lake access with our own dock, where we enjoy boating, kayaking, jet skiing, and quiet moments by the water. In warmer months, our backyard and in-ground pool become gathering places for play and connection. Our welcoming lake community hosts traditions like annual dock dining, bringing neighbors together. Family is central to our lives—Jeffrey’s mother lives in a guest home on our property, and our niece and nephew spend a lot of time with us. With excellent local school options, we feel grateful to call this nurturing, active place home and look forward to sharing it with a child.
Our Journey to Adoption
From early in our relationship, we knew growing our family was important to us. We thoughtfully explored adoption, surrogacy, and fostering, seeking a path aligned with our values. Through friends, colleagues, and mentors, we learned how meaningful adoption can be. Hearing firsthand experiences from those touched by adoption gave us clarity and confidence that this was the right choice for our family.
To us, adoption is an intentional, loving way to build a family. We are committed to providing a stable, nurturing home where a child feels safe, supported, and deeply loved. Our parenting approach centers on communication, empathy, and guidance, with an emphasis on understanding and accountability. We believe in raising children with kindness, integrity, and respect, while encouraging curiosity and self-expression. Together, we offer balance, patience, and unwavering support as we build traditions, celebrate milestones, and honor a child’s unique story.
