We are so grateful to have this opportunity!

We have always wanted to adopt even before meeting each other. We have a multi-cultural background (Lisa is half Japanese and Dave is half Indonesian) We are committed to providing a loving, stable home and supporting your child every step of the way.

We would like to have an open adoption and will share photos and can do in-person visits, where we want to ensure that your child knows that they have a loving family. We are honored you are considering us as potential parents. We are here to listen, understand, and support you

About Dave, written by Lisa

Dave is from a small town in central Ohio. He is the youngest of six siblings. Dave loves hanging out with his family particularly any activity that involves eating and watching his favorite sport of college football. Dave loves playing sports, reading or watching documentaries to learn about obscure facts, and collecting random stuff like coins and watches. He is silly and loves making people laugh. A perfect evening for him is spending time with his wife and two cats.

Dave can’t wait to teach our future child how to ride a bike and build the best blanket forts.

About Lisa, written by Dave

Lisa is a driven and accomplished individual with a strong focus on her career, making her a shining example for those around her. Her wisdom and maturity are evident in the way she navigates life’s challenges with grace and resilience, making her a trusted confidante for her friends who often seek her valuable advice. Her ability to bring people together and create lasting memories speaks to her innate charisma and warmth, making her a cherished presence in the lives of those around her.

When it comes to children, Lisa’s eyes light up at the thought of bedtime stories and messy art projects. I know she will be an amazing mom.

OUR PETS

MEET OUR CATS, OSCAR AND ELLA

We have two cats – a black cat named Ella and an orange and white cat named Oscar. We adopted them from the local animal shelter where Lisa has volunteered. Ella is one year old and is always curious and ready to play. Four-year-old Oscar prefers a more laid-back approach to life, often found lounging contentedly on Dave’s lap. They love bird-watching sessions (we have a bird feeder right outside our window) and playing with their toys. Ella and Oscar are very curious about other people, especially children, and never scratch or bite.

OUR HOME & COMMUNITY

We live in a walkable city in Massachusetts and enjoy living in a spacious apartment. We intend to buy a house in the suburbs someday with a big backyard. Your child would experience a diverse community and your child would go to the top schools in Massachusetts since education is a priority for us. There is a playground right by our apartment building and lots to explore where we live.

THANK YOU

FOR CONSIDERING US

Our top priority is creating a warm and loving home where your child can thrive. We are both deeply committed to their emotional, physical, and intellectual well-being. We believe in creating an environment that encourages curiosity, creativity, and personal growth. Family is paramount to us, and we are fortunate to have nearby grandparents who are excited to be involved in your child’s life. Summers will include visiting our family lake house in Maine.

We also want to emphasize our commitment to an open adoption. We believe that maintaining a connection with birth parents is essential for a child’s sense of identity and understanding of their unique story. We are open to discussing and establishing a communication plan that works best for everyone involved. Whether it’s through letters, emails, phone calls, or even in-person visits, we are committed to ensuring that your child grows up knowing the love and support of their birth family.

We want you to know that we are here to listen, support, and honor your wishes throughout this journey.

With love and gratitude,
Dave and Lisa
