waiting families

Christian & Patricia

Thank you for taking the time to read our profile. Though we have yet to meet, we care deeply for you and your baby. It’s hard to imagine the difficult decisions you will have to make in the days ahead, and we respect and admire you for considering adoption. If you choose us to be parents, we hope that you will take comfort in knowing that you have placed your child with a loving couple that has wanted to become a family for a long time. After dealing with the ups and downs of infertility for many years it became clear to us that becoming parents was more important than having a biological connection to our child, and we turned to adoption. We thank you for considering us as prospective parents to your child, and hope you’ll like to learn more about us.

About Us

Our names are Patricia and Christian, and we have known each other for 18 years. We met while in school obtaining our degrees in healthcare, and quickly became the closest of friends. We have been married 13 years, and are committed to each other as spouses and lifelong partners. Our careers in healthcare offer great job security and benefits, as well as flexible shifts. After a baby comes home to us, Patricia will take a lengthy leave of absence and then return to work part-time. Our work flexibility will also mean unique family time together such as spending a weekday afternoon at the local nature center, attending school events, and just about anything the life of a baby and child requires!

About Christian, by Patricia

From the minute I laid eyes on Christian in Anatomy and Physiology lab, I knew I was hooked! He remains today what he was back then- funny, smart, kind, generous, and my best friend. He is the guy that everyone likes to be around, because he has an ability to make just about anyone laugh, and has a way of putting everyone at ease and making them feel comfortable. My true joy comes from seeing him happy, and nothing seems to make him happier than spending time with his nieces and nephews who just adore him. Over the years he has become more than just the “fun one”—he has become a role model, a consistent presence, and a beloved uncle. Christian has spent the last 15 years working in healthcare, and is well-respected by his peers as well as his patients who are grateful for his kindness and sympathetic touch. He will be an amazing father.

About Patricia, by Christian

There aren’t enough words to describe how I feel about Patricia. She is the best thing that ever happened to me, and I am lucky to call her my wife. What is most amazing is how “right” everything felt, from the very beginning. She is loving and kind to the people in her life. She has a spectacular sense of humor, and is a great friend. Patricia is the first to celebrate the good fortune of a family member or friend, and the first to comfort when times aren't so good. She will be a natural mother. I have watched our nieces, nephews and children of friends gravitate toward her because she is fun, happy and cares so deeply for them. They know in their hearts that she will always be there for them. I know that Patricia will be an incredible mother to our child.

Our Families and Community

We are very fortunate to live in close proximity to both of our families, and have many people eagerly awaiting an addition to our family! All of Patricia’s five siblings except for one live locally, so we spend a lot of time with our nine nieces and nephews on that side. It is so amazing and fun for us to be a part of their school sporting events, art exhibits, even princess tea parties! One of our favorite things to do is head to the Jersey shore for a week every summer where we rent houses and spend time together as family. This will be our 13th year, and we seem to look forward to it more and more each year! Christian’s parents, aunt and grandmother are a quick one hour car ride and although his brother, sister-in-law and their two children live in North Carolina, we are able to see them several times a year, and have close contact with them over the phone and via e-mail.

We love living in a part of the country where we experience and enjoy the changing of all four seasons. We look forward to teaching our child to build sand castles in the summer, leaf piles in the fall, and snowmen in the winter. Our street is great for learning to ride bikes, playing catch or walking the dog. We feel we have the best of both worlds in living just five miles from the beach which allows for family picnics and swimming at the seashore, yet also being just 45 minutes away from the sights and sounds of New York City which means Broadway shows, museums and lots of sight seeing! We both love to travel, and because our careers offer four weeks of paid vacation a year, we have been able to visit many countries in the past few years. We look forward to sharing all of these opportunities with our child.

Our Promise

We promise to raise your child with unconditional love, patience and support. Your child will also know the strength and courage it took for you to make your decision. We look forward to sharing the many blessings life has to offer, all the while never forgetting you and your unselfish heart for making it all possible.
