One favorite place to visit is Disney World. We both have great memories of going there as kids, and we still love going now. We visit Disney World multiple times per year, sometimes just the two of us, or with our extended family. We love the feeling we get from the smell of fresh popcorn, going to the vibrant Art festival in Epcot, or enjoying a Mickey ice cream bar in the park. One of our favorite activities in Disney is pin trading. It's fun to see all the cute pins to trade and so exciting when we find ones that we've been searching for!

We also have a camper van and love going on road trips! We like visiting National Parks and finding fun stops along the way. Our favorite National Park that we have visited is Badlands. The colorful rock layers and exciting wildlife are so unique and special to us. We love going on hikes and nature walks to be able to fully experience the parks. Traveling in our camper van helps us remember what really matters and how little we need to be happy. We find peace and comfort looking at stars, watching the sunrise or sunset, and just spending time in nature. We can’t wait to share these adventures with a future child.

We love to play games with our friends and family. We have a wide array of old and new board games. We would love to have regular game nights when we have a child. We think playing games is a great way to connect. It gives us a chance to be creative, solve problems, and laugh together.

Evan loves to play the guitar. We both feel that music can help with creativity and also help calm or celebrate a moment. We also enjoy going to concerts, musicals, and comedy shows together. Sarah meditates daily and also enjoys yoga. Evan and Brooklyn join her frequently for a family workout. We do our best to create a home that is present, kind, and fun, and these activities help us do that.

Sarah is also going back to school to become an early childhood educator. We are excited to take what she is learning in the classroom to help a child play, grow, and learn. Evan is skilled in fixing and building items for the house and camper van. Sarah enjoys embroidery and sewing. She loves creating new projects and mending clothing.

We also both love to go thrifting and love bringing life into pre-owned items. We have already started getting children's books and are excited to read them to a child.

We have created the opportunity to celebrate traditions from both of our faiths. For Hanukkah we make delicious potato latkes and light Evan's Grandmother's menorah. For Passover we always partake with Evan's family, enjoying Evan's Mom's matzo ball soup and reading the story of Passover.

For Christmas events, we volunteer at Sarah's parent's church fair, go to Christmas Eve Mass, and celebrate with gifts and food on Christmas Day at Sarah's parent's home. We feel we get the best of both and we can't wait to share these special family traditions with a child.

Our town has two annual events we always take part in. During the fall celebration, they turn one of our nearby parks into a childhood dream, full of bouncy castles, games, pony rides, train rides, and vendor stations. We love going to this event with our family to eat apple crisp, see friends, and support our local businesses. Just before Christmas there is a decorated tree auction. We attend this with our friends and love to see the trees created by local businesses. We also host an annual pumpkin carving event with our friends and neighbors each October. We have everyone vote on the pumpkins for different categories and hand out awards for the winners. We love to see all of the different designs at the end of the night after we light them up.

We live in a suburb in New Hampshire that is only minutes away from the ocean and an hour from the mountains. Our home has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, with tons of natural light and space for a family and our dog. Our favorite room is our family room, which has a vaulted ceiling, a fireplace, and is a cozy place to watch Jeopardy, movies, and play games.

We have a large fenced-in backyard that is great for running around and a driveway that is perfect for basketball or foursquare. We are very fortunate to be walking distance to our downtown where there is a Children's Museum, restaurants, a concert area where live music is played in the summer, and a great children's park with a splash pad. We also live walking distance to a farm where we can feed horses and see cows! We can't wait to share all this with a child.

We are very fortunate to have wonderful neighbors and friends that we are very close with. We will get together often to BBQ and go to trivia nights. They are very supportive and excited for us to grow our family.

Sarah is an only child and her parents live nearby. We love spending time with them on a regular basis. They are both retired and love volunteering. This will be Sarah's parents first grandchild and they cannot wait to be grandparents. Evan’s brother Ryan, his partner Jason, and their puppy Coco live in Rhode Island. We like to visit them and have fun puppy play dates. Evan’s other brother, Zack, lives in Florida with his wife Sam and their son. Evan’s parents also live in Florida. We Evan's Family visit them a few times each year. We love going to Disney together, meeting the characters, and making special memories.

Spending time with family is very important to both of us. We love family game nights where we get together to play card games, board games, and share loads of laughter. Our family is going to shower the little one with love, support, and attention. Our dog Brooklyn is 8 years old. She is a rescue puppy that came to us at the age of 3. She is a sweet hearted cuddle bug that makes us laugh and smile. Brooklyn is very good with children. She loves getting pets and giving kisses to neighbors, friends, and their children. She has been roughly petted and poked by small children and remains patient and kind. We love her so much and are excited for her to be a big sister!

Your love and care for your child in choosing the right home is a true act of love. We feel so honored and thankful that you are considering us for something so important. It’s hard to put our feelings into words, but we want you to know how excited and grateful we are for the opportunity that lies ahead.

We have been married for five years. During this time, we have worked together on video profile covid wedding planning, infertility, and have learned to work and travel together in a small camper van. We continue to grow as people and we always support and love each other in the process. Sarah's Mom told her that when you meet your person you will feel like you have won the lottery. Sarah didn't think this to be very realistic until she met Evan. We both feel so incredibly lucky to be partners. Having the opportunity to add to our family would be like finding a true treasure again.

We haven’t been able to have a child on our own, and once we realized that God had another plan for us, we knew adoption was the right path for our family. We have many family members that have adopted and have been adopted. We have been able to share our journey and excitement with them as we look to expand our family and welcome a child. They have been a great support for us and we know that they will be a great support for a child welcomed into our family. It is important to have a community where this child sees themselves represented. We are grateful to be able to provide them that environment.

We are excitedly awaiting the opportunity to expand our family. We have always dreamed of becoming parents and are excited to watch a child learn and grow. We believe in raising a child with strong values, showing kindness through our actions, and teaching them to respect others. We promise to give a child a life where they can feel happy, healthy, safe, and deeply loved. We want to support their interests and help them follow their dreams so they can live a full and joyful life.

Sarah will become a stay-at-home mom and Evan works from home full-time. This will give us lots of flexibility for when a child arrives. We can’t wait to watch them grow and discover the world together. We look forward to cuddles, laughter, and all the little everyday moments that make family life so special. We have been blessed with a great group of friends, family, and neighbors who have shown us so much support and love. They have opened their hearts to us and our dog Brooklyn and they are so excited with us to welcome a child into our community.

You will always be an important part of your child's life. We are happy to regularly share letters, photos, and emails as the years go by and as your child reaches special milestones. We are also happy to arrange a visit. We believe it’s important for your child to be connected to their roots and to understand the love behind their adoption. We will always make sure that your story is told with honor and respect in our home. You would be giving us the most special gift anyone could give, and we are so excited for the journey ahead for all of us.

Thank you so much for your consideration and taking the time to learn more about our family. We look forward to hopefully getting to know you more soon.

Evan & Sarah
