Meet Evie Dove!
If anyone was born to be a big sister it is this ball of incredible energy, light and constant joy.
We can't contain our excitement when we meet her at the airport!
Evie-Dove is Grant's five year old biological daughter and is co-parented with her amazing mom. They live by the beach just north of Sydney, Australia. We visit twice a year and she comes to NYC twice a year. She travels between Sydney and New York regularly and is an outgoing, very funny and happy kid. She is part of our everyday lives with daily videocalls. Our parenting is active and intentional regardless of proximity and Evie-Dove has formed a quick and beautiful bond with Ben who has become an extremely fun, nurturing and supportive parental figure, embracing wholeheartedly and with gusto his role in her life. If anyone was born to be a big sister it is this ball of incredible energy, light and constant joy. Riding her scooter or skateboard, and playing with her dolls, climbing trees, swimming at the beach and singing to Frozen or watching Moana excites her indomitable spirit!
We appreciate you!

ENGAGED!
Well we did it! Last week Ben proposed to Grant aboard a fabulous cruise ship in front of 700 guests. It was truly a magical moment that neither of us will ever forget!!! OH yea, Grant said yes :) We plan to tie the knot VERY soon..so stay tuned :)
Just a little about us, the Cameron-Cartwright's! We are so very hopeful and excited to build our family through adoption
Good To Meet You! Here's our story, in a nutshell :) After matching on both Hinge AND Tinder we decided it was in the 21st Century stars for us to meet. So we did. A date at a cafe on the Upper West Side where we both had 'an out' lasted into the late evening. We definitely felt the electricity sharing stories, histories, our favorite pop divas and a hint of a future. We live together in our home on the Upper West Side in NYC, steps away from Central Park and a little longer stroll to our favorite donut shop (we are a little obsessed!). We both have made careers in the Arts and so you'll find us at the theatre, cinema, or jumping around our living room playing some kind of game! We are deeply in love and it is not lost on us how lucky we are to have found each other. We feel to find someone who has the same goal of building a strong and loving family unit is out-of-this-world lucky. We are excited to raise a family under the roof of our warm, nurturing and loving home. Kids, a puppy and boundless love... Thanks again for considering us to be a part of your adoption plan journey :)
