dear expectant mother

We can’t begin to know the emotions and struggles you may be experiencing going through this process. We strongly feel this is such a selfless act you are considering, to bless a family with the opportunity to make their dreams come true. Your decision is one that is yours but also one that is respected and honored.

We want to start by extending our gratitude to you for considering trusting that we will provide the life your child is so deserving of. Throughout the journey of growth and development, we promise to love your child unconditionally. Your baby angel will be showered with affection, support, love, care, joy, and happiness. We will forever ensure your precious treasure will have the opportunity to learn about their culture, will be exposed to positivity and happiness, will learn acceptance of any and everyone, and will have the opportunity to explore everything that sparks their interest.

Our hearts are overjoyed with the possibility of being privileged to provide your child with all the love we have to give. Not a day will pass us by without total care and nurturing, love and affection, and support and encouragement throughout the many stages of their life. We will forever be grateful and humbled.

Thank you for considering us!

Our hearts are overjoyed with the possibility of being privileged to provide your child with all the love we have to give.

About Us

We are a very compassionate, caring, family-oriented couple who’s excited about growing our family. Laurie is a medical auditor and practice manager who works from home. She has been working in this field for 23 years.Tish has been working in the field of education for the past 20 years, currently as a middle school assistant principal. As a couple, we enjoy music, football, cooking, taking care of our family, and attending family functions. Tish was a long-time basketball athlete and enjoys being around the sport by officiating from time to time. Our daily activities include work, taking care of our teenage and pre-teen daughters along with our three dogs and frequent movies and/or family activities, such as bowling and attending sporting events. Laurie is interested in concerts and has sparked Tish’s interest to join her. As beach lovers, we also love traveling and visiting warm, tropical areas.

Our Home & Pets

Our home is moderate sized with a large backyard, pool, hot tub, and firepit as well as plenty of space to run and play to enjoy all four seasons of the year. In our home, we love and care for our three family dogs. Living in a smaller, tight-knit community within a larger city, our family ventures to ample activities and family-friendly events. This community offers area amusement parks, zoos, safe playgrounds, museums, monument landmarks, and national parks. We have a vast variety of opportunities to explore nature, art, and historic and fun activities. Our school district is in one of the highest-performing districts in our area of Ohio, expanding its diversities for all cultures.

Our Extended Family

Our extended family is a short distance away, and we luckily get to spend time together on holidays and have regular family gatherings. We are both older sisters to our younger brothers and have a host of cousins, aunts, and uncles. Unfortunately, we suffered the loss of our mothers, but our fathers are a part of our family along with our large family and support system. Our family ranges from three months up to 84 years old. Our families are full of children of all ages, and they are involved in various activities and sports.

We frequently get together with our family for holidays, birthdays, casual gatherings, family outings, or just because. During these gatherings, you will find laughter and games, smiles and dancing, and some good home cooking. Everyone takes part in providing food and activities for all ages. We have traditional Easter egg hunts on Easter, gift exchanges and holiday games for Christmas, and trick-or-treating, games, and costume contests on Halloween. We are so excited and looking forward to sharing these traditions and events with the little boy or girl that joins our family.

What Led Us To Adoption

We joined our lives in marriage in July 2022. From the start of our relationship, we talked about and dreamed of raising a child together. Tish feels blessed to love, help raise, and support Laurie’s daughters from a previous relationship, and they are equally excited to add a new sibling to our family and become big sisters. Looking at all the options due to our inability to bear children, we knew adoption was the road for us, and we are so excited to be here!
