HELLO THERE!
WE ARE
PETER & JILL
FROM NEW YORK
We are so grateful to have this opportunity!
We have had a difficult road in building our family, however, the journey we’ve been on has taught us the value of patience and unconditional love and strengthened our desire to create a family. We envision a home filled with laughter, love and learning, where a child can thrive. Adoption is our chance to embrace parenthood and offer a stable, loving environment to a child in need. Our hearts are open and ready to welcome a little one to share in our adventures. We are excited to provide a loving and nurturing home to a child, knowing that our shared challenges have prepared us well for this new chapter.

OUR HOME & COMMUNITY
We live in a single family home in a quiet neighborhood, which includes an arboretum as well as a state park preserve with walking paths, playgrounds, beaches, a community pool and a small village nearby. Our home was completely updated 4 years ago just before we moved in. Our families live close by, Jill’s family lives only 10 minutes away and Peter’s is only 20 minutes from our home. The baby will have his or her own room, as well as a large front and backyard to play and explore. The local area also offers a ton of variety for children, such as events in town and public library programs. We are also only a short drive to the local beaches and additional state parks.
