Thank you for being brave enough to consider adoption for your child; it takes great courage to consider entrusting your child to adoptive parents. We hope this profile will let you get to know us, the kind of life we can offer your child, and what kind of parents we would be. 

Our home is full of love, music & laughter and we want very much to share it with a child, surrounding this child with a wonderful group of family and friends.  An adopted child will be welcomed with joy and thanksgiving into our family which already includes uncles, aunts & cousins who are adopted. We will provide a supportive and happy home, full of love and compassion, where a child can grow up knowing that he or she is loved unconditionally. 

We live in New York City where Paul was born and raised and where Martha moved to study ballet and pursue a career as a dancer. We met a little more than 10 years ago and have been married for almost 8 years. We love gathering with friends, visiting family close by, being active in our local church, a progressive and inclusive community that means a great deal to us, and appreciating the great gifts our city has to offer. 

We are certified to adopt by the state of New York and can pay legal and medical expenses to the full extent of the law. Our lawyer is an adoptive parent himself, and has handled adoptions for over 30 years. 

We thank you for reading our letter, and getting to know us a little bit through it.  We salute again your courage, and we hope to talk with you soon. 

Peace & Grace-

Martha and Paul
