Hello! Our names are Josh and Courtney Reiman. We are embarking on our first adoption journey. We live in San Francisco, CA and are excited, yet nervous for this next chapter, as we know the adoption process is unique each time. In this book, we have attempted to give you a sense of who we are, what we care about, and how we choose to be in this world as individuals and as a family. We want to be open about our story and what brought us here. We also want to acknowledge we don’t know you yet, but come to this place with humility, and with respect for your own story. We want to provide a loving home for another child and seek to be a partner with you as we go through this process. Thank you for reading about our family.

" Josh and Courtney are truly two of the most conscientious, thoughtful and intentional parents and people I know (not to mention, two of my most favorite people in the world). I have known them for 7 years and have witnessed their journey into parenthood from the very beginning and never cease to be impressed with their intentional, balanced approach to parenting. Josh and Courtney strike a very good balance in that they’re super fun parents, supportive and effectively communicate boundaries when needed. They encourage Forest’s creativity and authentic self, giving him room to explore as part of his development and confidence building (while simultaneously ensuring his well-being and safety). They’re thoughtful, kind and nurturing in their communication style with him and very intentional with regard to instilling and modeling values of inclusivity, kindness and generosity. Furthermore, Josh and Courtney place high value on community building, making concerted efforts to create a diverse, connected "village" in which to raise their son, AND to model what it is to value and nurture healthy relationships. Any child would be extremely lucky to become a part of their family - I cannot emphasize that enough! :) "
