Wesley and Carla

Hello expectant parents! We are Wes & Carla from Virginia. We thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We hope our story will help you in making your choice. We are very excited to adopt. We have been trying to start our family biologically for years now. Unfortunately, even with countless doctor appointments and treatments, we were unable to conceive. We have always loved the idea of adopting as we believe that family is what you make it. We would love to have your child and you in ours if you feel that it is right.

WE THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LEARN MORE ABOUT US.

We hope our story will help you in making your choice. We are very excited to adopt. We have been trying to start our family biologically for years now. Unfortunately, even with countless doctor appointments and treatments, we were unable to conceive. We have always loved the idea of adopting as we believe that family is what you make it. We would love to have your child and you in ours if you feel that it is right.

We are willing to have an open adoption where we can send letters, photos, and updates to you throughout the child’s life. We will always make sure the child knows they are loved by their birthparents and us. We are able to provide love, support, stability, safety, opportunity, and an amazing childhood for our children, and we plan to continue growing our family through adoption in the future as well. (Because siblings are the best!) Please know that no matter what you choose, we wish you and your child all the best. We look forward to meeting you!

- OUR STORY -

PRACTICING OUR SWINGS ON THE COURSE

We were born and raised in the same city so we have known each other since elementary school. But it wasn’t until college that we really met and connected. Ever since we met, we have been first and foremost great friends. We have always had a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for each other. We have so much fun together and naturally bring out the best in one another. Together, we love to travel, try new food and activities, exercise, be in our home with our pets, and spend time with our wonderful friends and family. One of our favorite places to travel to is New York City so we eloped there in beautiful Central Park!

We love being married to each other and truly work together as a team to face life’s challenges and grow together. With our flexible schedules, we are lucky to be able to spend a lot of quality time together and we are ready to share all of the special memories with children.

WE CANNOT WAIT TO BE PARENTS THROUGH THE MIRACLE OF ADOPTION.

OUR

FAMILY

Our family is an incredible source of love, support, and strength. And we are lucky to have our parents and siblings in close proximity to where we live. From the moment we shared our plans to adopt, our family has been so excited! They have been quick to offer congratulations, support, and help in this journey. They are eagerly anticipating the arrival of our new addition and cannot wait to become grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. We are a close and growing family, we spend holidays together at our home and love being able to host everyone.

CARLA'S BIGGEST BROTHER

Not only do we have our immediate family close by, we are also blessed to have a great group of loyal and supportive friends, who are creating families of their own too. We find a great deal of love, support and connection with our loved ones, and will ensure that a child is always prioritized and loved in our immediate, extended, and chosen family.
