We are so grateful to have this opportunity!

Thank you for reviewing our profile and considering us as adoptive parents. Your strength and bravery gives us the opportunity to build our family. We decided to adopt because we are unable to have biological children despite years of infertility treatments and loss. As we open our hearts to you, we hope you’ll see our love of adventure, our family and traditions, our home and the stability we have to offer. This profile is a glimpse into our journey and we’re honored to share it with you.

Introducing Nick, Written by Tara:

Falling in love with Nick was easy. He has the biggest, most sincere heart of any person I have ever met. He is loyal, compassionate and responsible, but I love it the most when he acts like a kid with our nieces and nephews – from trips to the zoo to a last minute babysitter, he’s always there for his family. Nick is going to make an amazing father and I’m so excited to raise our family together with him. Nick is supportive and helps me reach my goals. I cherish that he is always by my side and a voice of reason when seeking advice. He is my best friend and everything I could have asked for in a partner.

Introducing Tara, Written by Nick:

I fell in love with Tara’s sense of humor. She is quirky and spontaneous and I am always smiling when I’m with her. She has the ability to make our place a home that is full of love, happiness and memories. She is caring and values spending time with family. I love her optimism in life and she inspires me to be the best version of myself.

She is always coming up with new and creative ways to spend time together, whether it’s a 2 hour ride to our favorite beach town to see the water and grab an ice cream or something simple at home like playing board games and watching a movie for date night. Tara has a passion for living an active life, seeing the world and making sure that everyone is happy.

OUR HOME & COMMUNITY

We live in New York and love it here. We’ve lived here all our lives and are within 30 minutes to both of our families! We own a large home, with a big yard. Our child will grow up experiencing all four seasons — from apple picking to sleigh riding to swimming at the beach, our small town is not far from it all. We belong to a community pool and have an excellent school district.

THANK YOU

FOR CONSIDERING US

Family means everything to us. We are lucky to have an incredibly supportive family behind our choice to adopt and who are eager to meet the newest member of the family. We have 2 siblings each and 14 nieces and nephews. This child will be blessed with 4 grandparents and 3 great grandparents along with lots of aunts/uncles/cousins! We are fortunate to live near both of our families. Tara has 14 first cousins (all younger) and has spent many, many years babysitting her cousins, nieces and nephews, and friends’ kids. We are always getting together for holidays, family BBQs, game nights, sleepovers, pool parties and birthday parties. We go on a big family trip every year with Tara’s family – the beach, camping and to Disney! The holiday season is our favorite time of year – we love celebrating Halloween and Christmas. Every year, we have a big Halloween party for friends, family and neighbors where every one of all ages dresses up. We dream of being parents, of guiding your/our child through life’s ups and downs. Our journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s led us to this moment where we’re excited to embrace the joys and challenges of parenthood through adoption. With open hearts, we’re ready to love, teach, and nurture a child. We are very financially stable and can’t wait to put a swing set in our backyard! Our promise to you is to create a loving, open, and supportive environment for your baby. We’ll raise them with a strong foundation of respect, kindness, and faith. Our upbringing has taught us valuable lessons that we want to pass on to our child. We are open to an open adoption – visits, pictures, emails – whatever will make you comfortable. We will honor and respect you and your decision and will be eternally grateful you chose our family for your adoption plan. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us, and we hope to get to know you soon. Nick and Tara
