HELLO THERE!
WE ARE
BLAKE & ROCHELLE
FROM NEW YORK
We are so grateful to have this opportunity!
We feel there is so much love in our home and hearts, and we are so ready to share it with a child. While unable to have a child ourselves, growing our family through adoption is something we have thoughtfully and lovingly chosen and have always known deep down would be a part of our story. We deeply want to nurture and guide a child as they discover who they are and we can’t wait to watch them pursue all of their goals and dreams. We are committed to giving them every opportunity and all of the love we possibly can.ABOUT BLAKE

Our Anniversary
Rochelle is someone people trust instinctively. She is fiercely loyal, dependable, and steady in the ways that matter most. When somone needs support, she shows up with patience, empathy and an open heart. One of the things I admire most about her is her faith in the human spirit. The grace and dignity with which she navigages the world is something I deeply admire, and she has helped me grow and live up to my own potential. From the way she loves and cares for her aniamls, to the way she shows up for her friends, she is absolutely brilliant in how fully she loves. She is strong and capable and I truly cannot imagine a better person to help raise a kind, courageous, and well rounded child.
OUR PETS
MEET OUR PETS
Moby and Gatsby are our two sweet and loving French water dogs. They are brothers and the best of friends. Both of our boys are very smart and know so many tricks, including how to whisper (a baby woof). They have even learned how to find us in stores by trackign our scent as a fun game. They join us on our daily hikes and adventures and really make our house a home. They are incredibly dogs we are lucky to have.
OUR HOME & COMMUNITY
We live in a 4 bedroom mid century modern home set on a peaceful acre in a sleepy town in the beautiful Hudson Valley. Our home is filled with light, open space and plenty of room to grow, explore, eat healthy food and play. Just five minutes down the road areexcellent local schools. Nature surrounds us and we spend weekends hiking scenic trails at nearby Minnewaska State Park and creating memories outdoos in every season. Our neighborhood is safe and friendly, with a special visitor we adore – a gentle deer named Rosie who stops by for treats and pets. We drive down to NYC reguarly for the theatre and museums and great restaurants.

Thank you for even considering our little family. We can’t pretend to understand what you are feeling or facing right now. And while we don’t know you – we respect you. The love and thoughtfulness it takes to consier adoption speaks to your courage, love and strength. You know your heart, your circumstances, and your hopes for you and your child better than anyone else. We truly believe you will make the best choice for both you and your baby and we want you to know we will always respect and honor your decisions and your voice.
If we are blessed with the great privledge of adoping your baby, we promise that they will always know much you love them. We will speak of you with respect, gratitude, and honesty and how much you sacrified out of deep love for them. Your love and bravery will be part of their story from the very beginning.
Everything we have – our time, our energy, our resources, our traditions, our experiences, and our unwavering commitment – will be poured into this child. We will give them the very best of what we have and the very best of what we know. Above all else, we will love every piece of them, their personality, their dreams, their questions, their struggles, and their joys every single day. And we will laugh with them and enjoy the amazing gift of life. They will be the biggest priority and joy of our lives.
