Dear Expectant Mother,
Thank you for taking the time to read our profile and get to know us. We know finding a family to take care of your baby can’t be an easy task, and we appreciate you considering us for this opportunity. We couldn’t possibly understand the emotions you are feeling at this time; however, we want to reassure you that if you allow us to care for your baby, they will grow up in a safe, supportive, nurturing home.
We would love for you to have an understanding of how your baby will be cared for in our home. We love doing things together, and adding another player in the game will only make it more fun. Whether it means adding a third controller, a third pair of hiking shoes, or a third space at the crafting table, we hope to foster a loving, encouraging environment for any child to grow into the wonderful, accepting human they are to become. We will encourage your child as they work their way through education. Whether it is a scholar bowl, concert choir, or a sporting event, we plan on being the parents who win the best attendance award. Finally, we would like to thank you for considering us. Our journey to start a family would not be possible without you.
Our journey to start a family would not be possible without you.
-Bradley & Ethan
Bradley describes himself as busy, fun-loving, compassionate, empathetic, and hardworking. He currently works as a speech teacher at his hometown primary school and loves every second of it. He enjoys playing video games, watching movies, playing games with friends and family, going on hikes, playing with our dog, crafting, working with his hands, and visiting new places. Ethan describes himself as nerdy and outgoing but likes to have fun at home. He currently works from home as a nurse educator. He enjoys hanging out with friends, game nights, and cooking together with Brad. His current interests are listening to music, hanging out with friends, going on hikes, and coloring. Currently, he is finishing up his doctorate degree in the field of nursing.
We live in a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in an out-of-town neighborhood. We are very close with a few of our neighbors, but the entire neighborhood looks out for one another via our neighborhood Facebook page. Children from the neighborhood play with one another often, and families feel safe enough to go for evening and morning walks. It’s a safe, quiet place that doesn’t get too much attention, and we love it. We share our home with our little miniature pinscher, Baxter, whom we have raised since he was a puppy. He loves to snuggle under the covers and squeak his toys till they break.
Bradley’s immediate family consists of his father, mother, and younger brothers. Ethan’s immediate family consists of his older sister and her wife, his younger sister with her two children as well as her boyfriend, Ethan’s younger brother, and his youngest brother. Ethan’s mother passed away in 2022, and his father passed away in 2021.
We visit with everyone as often as we can. We love to spend time with our niece and nephew, and we visit Brad’s parents weekly. We do lots of things with our siblings, including game nights, zoo trips, vacations, movie nights, escape rooms, and dinner parties. Both of us have a very large extended family that we see on holidays and special occasions.
We have discussed having children throughout our entire relationship. Within the last year or so, we finally decided we were in a good place career- and relationship-wise to begin working on our family. We discussed all of our options thoroughly before deciding on adoption. We have many friends and acquaintances who have gone on the adoption journey and are excited to begin one of our own. We are very grateful to you for considering our family.
