Hello There!
WE ARE
BLAKE & CHRISTINA
FROM PENNSYLVANIA
Meet Blake and Christina, a loving couple excited to grow their family through adoption. They hope to create a home where a child always feels safe, celebrated, and deeply loved. Family, laughter, and meaningful traditions are important to them, and they look forward to sharing life’s everyday moments while honoring a child’s story and connection to their birth family always.
We are so grateful to have this opportunity!
Hello! We are Christina, Blake, Luke & Christian. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us and our two little boys who also came to our family through adoption. We admire your love and courage in choosing adoption for your baby. We imagine that this can’t be an easy decision and we will make sure your child knows that this was a decision made out of love for them.ABOUT BLAKE

About Blake, told by Christina:
Blake is a wonderful combination of serious and hilarious! He is always making people laugh and will make up goofy songs to cheer me or the kids up if someone is having a rough day. He is thoughtful, very perceptive, kind, generous and athletic. He is very serious about his Christian faith and prioritizes this along with becoming the best person he can be.
He is a very hands-on dad and the boys adore him. They light up when he gets home from work because they know he will jump right into playing with them. I can’t wait to see Blake with a new baby because I know he will be totally devoted to them just like he is with Luke and Christian.

About Christina, told by Blake:
Christina and I clicked from the first moment we met because of her beautiful smile, sense of humor, and tender heart.She has loved our children with every ounce of herself. Christina has a playful side and she likes to keep things lively around the house by jumping right into the games our kids want to play. I believe she is most skilled at “Tickle Monster”!
Christina has a more serious side, which manifests in deep compassion towards our children, myself, and our family and friends. No matter how seemingly insignificant one of our children’s frustrations are, Christina responds with compassion.

Luke is four years old and is in a fun imaginative phase. He loves making up stories involving firefighters or dragons and pretending he is “superhero Luke”. He absolutely loves reading books and has an incredible memory and will “read” them to his little brother Christian. He is a very protective big brother and wants Christian to come along to anything he’s doing.

Christian is two years old and has a hilarious sense of humor. He loves being goofy and making people laugh. One of his favorite things to do is throw or kick a ball back and forth and we imagine he’ll be very into sports when he is a little older! He wants to do everything with big brother does and in general is a very social little guy.
OUR HOME & COMMUNITY
We moved into our house a couple of years ago and absolutely love where we live. We have a fenced in backyard with a playset for the kids which we use all the time. One of the best things about where we live is that Christina’s older sister lives a couple of blocks away and she has three children who love to come over to play. We also are good friends with a few other families in our neighborhood and have an amazing community park and playground just four blocks away.

THANK YOU
FOR CONSIDERING US
Our goal is to make sure this child feels deeply loved and cherished for the unique person that they are. We promise to provide a loving home filled with joy, lots of laughter, encouragement and respect. We will try our best to provide them with opportunities to pursue their dreams. We will prioritize family time together with family dinners every night and family days on Sundays.
We promise to be open with this child about their adoption and to honor their roots. We will provide financial stability, a home in a wonderful neighborhood, a fenced in backyard with a playhouse, swing set, and “forest” as our kids like to call the trees at the back of our property. This child will have two very enthusiastic playmates in Luke and Christian as well as all their cousins! We have been blessed with wonderful friends and family and they will shower our new little baby with all the love and support they have shown the rest of our family.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know us! We are honored and humbled that you would consider us to raise your child. We don’t know the situation you’re in but can imagine that choosing adoption is not an easy decision. We are inspired by your courage in choosing life and promise that your child will know of your love and sacrifice. We plan to be open with them about adoption from the very beginning and if you’d like, we want to share pictures and letters with you and have you be a part of their life since you are such an important part of who they are.
We cannot wait to adopt again and to show this child unconditional love. Thank you again and we pray that you find peace, whatever your decision may be. We’d love to talk with you if you’d like to know more about us!
Christina, Blake, Luke & Christian
