Family Type: Lesbian Couple
State We live in: Florida

dear expectant mother

We want to express our understanding and compassion for this extremely difficult decision you are contemplating and at the same time express our gratitude to you. We are a very loving family who have been very thoughtful about this process and considerate of the circumstances that led you to us. We hope we can bring you some peace and reassurance. Please know we will do everything to help you feel as comfortable as possible, and you can ask any questions you may have along the way.

We have been trying to grow our family for many years and have truly always wanted to adopt a child but had no idea what a long and heartbreaking road it would be. We have had the privilege of loving and caring for two wonderful babies as foster parents while also raising our amazing six-year-old daughter, who also expresses how much she would love adopting a little brother or sister who would be her little brother or sister forever. We hope we are communicating how important you are to us and how sure we are that our path to growing our family brought us here. He or she will be so loved, supported, and given every opportunity to grow into the happiest and healthiest person they can be.

Thank you for considering us. We will love this baby with all our hearts and would be so grateful to connect with you and learn more about one another.

About Us

We are Kristin and Tina and very much look forward to meeting you. We truly hope we can make this as comfortable as possible for you. We connected on Match.com through our love of the ocean. Meeting in person over brunch, we quickly noticed we just might be perfect for each other. Tina is hard-working and compassionate, and Kristin is creative and compassionate, making a beautiful match. We married on the beach 11 months later. Tina is passionate about education and is Vice President of Operations for her company. Kristin has always loved working with children and is a therapist in schools. Our hope is for our children to grow into kind, compassionate, and determined individuals who love themselves and are true to themselves. We would be honored to connect with you and share more about who we are, our values, and the love we have to give.

Our Home & Neighborhood

We truly love the home we’ve created. We were thoughtful about selecting our home with the hope of having children. It is located in a beautiful Florida neighborhood surrounded by nature preserves. Everything we need is within 20 minutes—our grocery store, parks, the beach, and great schools. Laughter and joy are at the heart of our home—putting on silly performances for our daughter in our living room, story time in bed, and enjoying dinner together in our kitchen or dining room. Our favorite weekends are a blend of family time at home (playing games, listening to music, swimming in our fenced-in backyard pool) and adventures to the beach, zoo, nature trails, museums, or theaters

Our Family & Friends

Supportive siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and grandparents make up our extended family! Tina has four siblings, two sisters and two brothers. Kristin has three siblings, one brother and two sisters. Most of them have multiple children for our children to grow up with. Our siblings are some of our best friends. We are blessed to have grandparents involved in our daughter’s life; they bring each other joy and create beautiful memories together.

It is wonderful to get together often for pool or beach days and to celebrate birthdays and holidays together. We love trips to visit family farther away, giving our daughter wonderful travel experiences. We love sharing fun traditions. Every holiday season we get together and pick a holiday event to enjoy. Living in a warm climate, we love traveling to our family in the north to enjoy winter activities in the snow!

Our families are open-hearted and always make sure we know they are there for us no matter what. At the core of everything we do is love, respect, and appreciation for one another. No matter what life brings, we believe in taking care of each other and showing and spreading kindness every single day.

What Led Us To Adoption

We expressed to each other early in our relationship our desire to adopt children. Valuing the same things in life, we grew stronger together through the obstacles we faced growing our family. We became licensed foster parents planning to adopt through foster care. A few months later, our biological daughter was born, our miracle as Kristin had years of infertility struggles. We have cousins and a nephew who were adopted and have seen so much love and positivity in these families. We can never know what life will bring. We are very grateful for the family we created and at the same time feel very excited about the possibility of growing our family through adoption as it has always been in our hearts.
