Robert and Valerie
We're looking to adopt a baby
Hello and welcome! We are Valerie and Robert and we are ready to start a family through adoption! Thank you for taking the time to get to know us and for considering us as prospective parents. We understand that this decision is not easy. Let us hold your hand as we walk you through who we are.
We met when we were 18 and married ten years later, in 2014. We share a love for dogs, and our dates used to be going to the dog park or fishing at the lake with our dogs. During those years before our wedding, we bought our first home and renovated it together.
Shortly after getting married, we started planning for a family. After years of trying unsuccessfully, we discussed how to proceed toward the future we wanted. We tried IVF and suffered a miscarriage. After time and healing, we agreed that with the love we have for each other and the love we have to offer a child, adoption would be our goal. We have family members who have gone through the adoption process, and with their love and support, we know that we have a loving home to provide for a child.
