We bet you are as scared, anxious, and hopeful as we are and then some. We want to give your child love, security, and support. We promise to give your child the most happiness, the greatest comfort, and the best future we possibly can. We know the same thoughts have brought you here.
Allowing another family to raise your child is probably the toughest decision any person can be faced with and a huge trust in people you have not yet met. We value your trust and respect your uncertainty, your fear, and your hope. We thank you with our whole hearts for considering us! We don’t know what we can say, other than that we really want the opportunity to connect with you and assure you we are offering a home full of love, pets, cookies, and laughter. We are offering our hearts forever.
You may go back and forth. You may not have expected to be pregnant, and nothing may be constant for you right now. Here is a constant we want to give to you: Your baby will have two mama bears constantly in their corner. Your baby will constantly have acceptance and support for who they turn out to be. Your baby will constantly have a home, either at one month or 100 years. Your baby will always have a loving home with us.
We are offering our hearts forever.
-Elizabeth & Lacia
When we first met and Elizabeth wanted to date, Lacia’s exact words were “That will never happen!” We have now been together for eight years. We are both stubborn, patient, intelligent, and fiercely loving. Lacia works as a lawyer helping children get their educational, housing, and medical needs met. Elizabeth is also an attorney and works in white-collar crime and financial matters. When we get home, we love being creative together; Lacia likes to paint, while Elizabeth crochets or plays one of the twelve instruments she can play. We like to curl up and binge murder mysteries while drinking hot cocoa with a purring cat on each of our laps. On nice weekends, we like hiking, exploring new places together, and making fun memories.
One of the reasons we chose our home was because the elementary school down the road is in one of the top school districts. We also love exploring the local farmers market, arts festivals, and hiking trails in our community. We live close to the harbor, a short drive to all the free museums in DC, and in the heart of a vibrant and diverse suburb. We live in a spacious house with a long countertop perfect for making pies and cookies together. Our large yard includes some woods and a little brook which our dog Stryder loves to play in. Our dog is a rescued husky mix who loves children and thinks he is a lapdog. Our two cats, Fennec and Loki, enjoy lounging in the sunbeams in the big windows of our house.
Lacia loves to visit her parents to go sailing with her dad and hunt through bookstores with her mom. Lacia’s mom is a teacher and is very excited to love on any baby joining our home. Lacia’s dad is a retired engineer who would love to build go-karts, launch egg rockets, and act out bedtime stories again, just like he did with Lacia.
We love visiting Elizabeth’s mom and her eight siblings. Elizabeth’s mom cooks amazing creations to feed the whole crew. Christmas is large, chaotic, and yummy. We play very competitive games of Risk and poker while watching The Muppet Christmas Carol. Elizabeth’s grandparents always surprise us with incredible life stories; her grandpa grew up in segregated Chicago, opened for Jimi Hendrix, and went from paint chemist to high company executive, while her grandmother groomed the Olympic horses!
We both knew we wanted to adopt since we were teenagers. We both have a deep longing to be parents to share our loving, safe home. Lacia has cousins and close family friends who were adopted. Elizabeth’s family also talked about adopting more siblings when she was younger. Adoption has always been the way we both envisioned growing our family. Our shared goal to be great moms and someday adopt was part of what clicked when we found ourselves falling for each other.
