Timothy & Paul

Our extended family combined is large; giving our future baby eleven aunts and uncles who can spoil them to their hearts content. Both our families have been extremely supportive of our adoption, in fact, our parents moved from out of state so they can be here locally and be an active part of our lives as our family grows. Our family includes aunts, uncles, cousins, not to mention our close friends who we consider family. We are very fortunate to have so much family local to us not only as a support system but as an active part of our child's life as they grow up which means the world to us. We often go on vacations together and plan the holidays accordingly to create memories each and every year that none of us will soon forget.

We enjoy family vacations from theme parks, state to state trips, and our family favorite... cruises! It doesn't matter to us where we go, we bring the fun times with us! We have cruised the Caribbean on numerous occasions, Mexico, and even travelled Europe. Some of our favorite concerts include Pink and most recently Taylor Swift.

Adoption for us was not the only choice but it is the choice we know is right for us. Being a same sex couple we cannot have children of our own unless we pursued surrogacy, however, family is more than genetics. Paul was adopted himself and knows the experience first hand. We both feel passionately about growing our family and we aim to achieve that dream through adoption. Creating a home for a child and being able to connect on that same shared gift that is adoption is something we would be fortunate to experience.

This is Piper! She has been with us since she was 4 weeks old and has travelled the U.S.A with us along our journeys. So she is well travelled and loves exploring Piper Loves children (of course), long walks, treats, playing with her surprises each month from BarkBox, and of course snuggles. She is very well trained knowing tricks such as sit, rollover, walk, stand, military crawl, and Say Hi "woof!"

We live in our forever home in the southeast United States! Our home has four bedrooms, three bath, office, and dining room with breakfast nook. This house has plenty of room for our family to grow into. We live in a new community which boasts great hiking, great restaurants, local parks, on site community pool and play area, and wonderful schools from elementary up to college. Our community is one we chose with family in mind.
