Raymond and Michael
We're looking to adopt a baby
We are Mike & Ray and we are so appreciative of being considered for the amazing responsibility of becoming adoptive parents. We are a loving, silly, and hard-working couple and we’re excited to offer your child the best life possible through open adoption! We cannot wait to share our existing traditions, from boisterous holiday gatherings to slow Sunday mornings working in the garden, and to find out what new traditions will begin with a new member of the family. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us!
We have both always dreamed of being fathers and discussed our family plans very early on in our relationship. Ray’s mom and her siblings grew up in the foster care system and her experiences have always motivated him to choose adoption someday. We are lucky to be surrounded by a beautiful, growing family. Mike’s brother and cousins on both sides have young children whom we frequently spend time with. We also share an adopted nephew/godson who has the best laugh in the world! We love to visit and FaceTime with our nephews and godson often and put a smile on their little faces. We knew adoption was the right choice for us for many reasons, and now we’re even more excited to expand our family through adoption.
