Thomas and JoanNickname(s): Tom and Joan

Dear Special Person:

Welcome to our hearts and home. Although we have not met, we know that you are a warmhearted woman who wants the best for her child. Our family will provide you the love you need in making your decision. We hope that by sharing our family’s happiness and love, you will gain peace of mind knowing that we can provide a warm and loving family for your baby. Adoption is an exciting process that will lead to happiness for all. We are Tom and Joan and we want to thank you for your courage and love to place your baby for adoption.

We first became friends, then best friends and finally husband and wife and we have been very much in love with each other since our marriage in May of 2001. We were blessed with a daughter, Veronica, in September of 2005. Like many families today, we both work. Tom works as an attorney. He is very successful and is well liked by his clients because people trust him and he is very compassionate. Joan is a judge and she finds her job very fulfilling with the necessary flexibility that allows her to schedule her days to participate in assisting in family and preschool activities. We both love our professions because we love working with people. Our evenings and weekends, however, are devoted to making lasting family memories. 

We live in a four-bedroom home in a family-orientated neighborhood with a great backyard for play, swimming and gardening. Our home is close to a big park. One of our favorite things to do at the park is to take our shoes off on a hot summer day and play in the fountains. We love our city and take advantage of many of its wonders including, museums, festivals, sports, and cultural attractions of every kind. When we feel we need a dose of the country, we take a trip to visit Joan’s family farm where our daughter loves to pick apples in Grandpa’s orchard, feed his cows and weed his garden. Our life includes the best of both city and country. We enjoy it all.

Joan loves gardening, cooking healthy dishes from freshly picked vegetables and baking wholesome breads. Needless to say, our home smells incredible whenever Joan is in the kitchen. Family dinners are an important part of each day in our family. Tom is our expert on sports with a strong emphasis on soccer. He has already taught our daughter some game winning soccer kicks. Tom is our social chairman and is always planning family outings to concerts, outdoor theatres and cultural festivals. An outgoing and social child, our daughter Veronica is an avid swimmer, artist and musician. She loves reading, Irish dancing, and singing. She has been exposed to many cultures and is fluent in Spanish and has an understanding of Polish. You may wonder what your baby’s future may be like in our family, and we would love to share with you the love and opportunities that we can provide this special child.

As Catholics our upbringing was very similar and it has been a strong foundation upon which our marriage and family is built. We believe in teaching our children to love their faith, and to have a positive outlook on life, with lots of encouragement, love, hugs and kisses. Our children will be guided and nurtured as they grow and become their own special person. We will trust them and encourage them in making sound decisions in life. If something does not go as planned, we will also show them that the outcome can still be positive.

We appreciate you considering us to be the family for your baby and we would love to meet you to hear your dreams for your baby.

        
From our hearts,

Joan and Tom
