Christine
and Luke
Thank you so much for the opportunity to share a bit about our family. We wish you well as you decide what feels right for you and your child.
HELLO! WE ARE
Each member of our family is excited to be on the adoption journey, and we welcome the chance to build a relationship with you at whatever level you feel comfortable.
Our
Story
We first met in 2002 at a tiny rally opposing the war in Iraq.
On the surface, we connected through quirky books and movies but underneath we had an immediate love for each other that we’ve nurtured for 20 years. We’ve held each other’s hands through highs and lows, including countless moments of joy with our children, preceded by two very complicated pregnancies. Both the highs and the lows have reaffirmed our desire to grow our family.
We are thrilled to start our adoption path!
Thoughts on Parenting
We are trying to raise children who retain the best parts of childhood as they grow: wonder, curiosity, silliness, and easy laughter. Daily, we attempt to cultivate empathy in our children, for each other and us, but also for the new friends they make and the strangers they meet. We want our children to be self-confident and grounded, to trust themselves. We hope that as they grow into adulthood, they try to do good in the world they encounter.
