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.

Rochelle is someone people naturally trust. She is loyal, dependable, and steady in the ways that matter most. When someone needs support, she shows up with patience, empathy, and an open heart. She carries herself with quiet strength and has a way of helping friends and family grow, always without judgment. Whether she’s caring for her animals or being there for the people in her life, she gives a lot of herself. She is kind, capable, and deeply loving, and I know she will help raise a happy, confident, 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 are very smart and know lots of tricks, including how to “whisper” (a soft little woof). They’ve even learned how to find us in stores by tracking our scent, which started as a fun game.

They join us on our daily walks and hikes and are always part of whatever we’re doing. They bring so much energy and happiness into our home and truly make it feel complete. We feel so lucky to have them.

OUR HOME & COMMUNITY

We live in a four-bedroom mid-century modern home on a peaceful acre in a quiet town in the Hudson Valley. Our home is filled with light and open space, with plenty of room to grow, explore, and play. Just five minutes away are great local schools.

Nature surrounds us, and we love spending weekends hiking nearby trails at Minnewaska State Park and being outside together in every season. Our neighborhood is safe and friendly, and we even have a special visitor—a gentle deer named Rosie who sometimes stops by.

We also enjoy driving into New York City for the day to explore museums, see a show, or try new restaurants.

THANK YOU

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.

Blake and Rochelle
