Dear Expectant Parents, 
Thank you for taking the time to learn more- About us.
We cannot pretend to fully understand what you are going through,
but we do know that you are putting your child first wanting to ensure
they find a lifetime of love, security, and happiness.
We admire and respect your courage in making this difficult and
selfless decision.
By taking a few minutes to read through this profile we hope that
you can get a glimpse of what our life is like, and more importantly,
what your child’s life will be like if you decide to place him or her
with us. We are honored to
share this with you.
We met while living in Arizona and have been happily
married since 2000. We both
waited to get married until we knew we had found the right person,
someone with common values, a zest for life, and a great sense of humor.
We are each other’s best friends and are very eager to include
children into our happy home
Patrick was raised in California and has one older
brother. His parents and
step father were always very involved with his activities, from
competing in a freckle face contest to sports and homework assignments.
Cynthia was raised as a true southern girl in North Carolina.
She has one older brother and loving parents who guided her to
follow her talents in music, artistic creativity, and academics.
For both of us, friends and family were always welcome at our
house and often that meant an extra place at the dinner table.
This is the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere we would like to create
for a child in our home.
 We
are surrounded by love and support of other family members.
Cynthia’s brother, his wife, and their 12 year old son along with
Patrick’s mother and step father all live locally.
Patrick’s brother lives in southern California along with his
wife and three children.
Cynthia’s parents and Patrick’s father and step mother are frequent
visitors from their homes in Arizona.
They are all very excited and eager to welcome a new family
member.
Shortly after we were married, we chose to relocate
from Arizona to Oregon. Our
home is located on a dead end street where we are surrounded by great
neighbors with small children and babies.
We have created a warm, loving home with room to expand.
Our home includes four bedrooms (one being a beautiful nursery),
great family areas, and a fenced yard perfect for at home play.
Within our neighborhood are four parks, walking trails, and
highly rated schools.
We are both Real Estate Appraisers.
As such, we both work from home and this allows us a great deal
of flexibility to our days.
Cynthia is a 17 year employee of a major bank, and Patrick is self
employed. We have made
these career choices in order to optimize involvement in our future
family.
Our lives include two loving beagles, Daisy and Baron.
Daisy is seven years old and has been with us since she was a
puppy. Baron is six years
old and was adopted into our family after being abandoned two years ago.
We love spending time together in our back yard, going
for long walks, and spending summer days at the beach.
Daisy loves frolicking in the tide pools and Baron gets his
exercise chasing sea gulls.
Individually, Cynthia loves crafts, home decorating, gardening, and
playing the piano.
She spends free time volunteering for local civic organizations.
Patrick loves sports, including golf, baseball, and basketball.
Together we enjoy traveling, spending summer days at the beach,
enjoying water activities, playing games with friends and family,
entertaining with backyard BBQ’s and just spending time together.
We hope
these few words and photos will help to give you a glimpse into our
life. If you should find it in your heart to give us the greatest gift
that anyone could ever
give, please know that your child will never feel alone, will always be
loved, will be kept safe, will learn to believe in him or herself, and
will experience the joys of a wonderful family life.
No matter what, your child will always have a safe place to land
with our family.
We are
committed to making sure your child will always know the strength and
courage it took for you to come to the decision to allow us to adopt
your child. It takes a truly special person to consider an adoption plan
and you
will always hold a place of honor in our family.
If you chose
to place your child with us, we
look forward to building a
positive relationship with you.
We would
respect your adoption plan and share with you the development of your
child. Your child will
always know just how special you are.
Nothing would make us happier than to discuss and hear- About your
hopes and aspirations for your child.
Hopefully these few words and pictures will only be
the beginning of our getting to know each other.
Patrick & Cynthia
