Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about us. We can’t imagine what you may be feeling as you consider this incredibly difficult decision; you are so brave for doing so. Please know that we already think the world of you and are so grateful that you are taking these steps to provide the best life for your child.

We want so very badly to adopt again. We love being parents and are yearning to make our family complete. We miss the sweet sound of baby laughter and holding a little one close. We...

As you can imagine from what you’ve read so far, we do love the outdoors. With Monica’s parents close to the White Mountains, we usually plan a couple of camping trips up there or visits to Acadia National Park near Jared’s family home in Maine. We’ve spent so much time there over the years, we’re often putting together recommendations and itineraries for friends who are visiting for the first time!

We are fortunate to live close to one of the most beautiful beaches in New England,...

We grew up in very similar families and households, each of us with a younger brother. Our parents, all hardworking and dedicated to putting family first, encouraged us both to study hard and do whatever it was that would bring us joy.

Monica’s parents live in New Hampshire and are an easy drive from us. Until the pandemic, Monica’s mother would come down and watch Lidia a couple of days a week. She would speak to her in Spanish, which helped give her a good bilingual foundation. Jared’s...

We currently live in a unique contemporary house in a quiet seaside town in New England, one of the oldest in the country. We are fortunate to be close to a big city like Boston, but enjoy the benefits of living in a small, close-knit community.

Our home is on over two acres in a dreamy meadow-like setting, surrounded by woods on all sides. It has everything we ever wanted for our family: a yard for children to grow up kicking a soccer ball around, a long driveway for riding bikes, and enough space to invite all...

Lidia (5) is very anxious to become a big sister, so much so that she has a bunk bed in her room because she wants to plan for her sibling. She is already talking about how she’ll be a helper and they will be best friends, which we can’t wait to see happen! She is very proud that we are an adoptive family and is excited to share that we are adopting again, that her brother or sister will have an adoption story just like her!

From about as far back as she can remember, Lidia has known her birth story....

Hello, my name is Jared! I would describe myself as someone who is very patient, easy to talk to, who enjoys good food, music and the company of friends and family. I have always enjoyed a good book, but I also enjoy going out and trying new things, having fun adventures and making memories with my family.

A real passion of mine is beer brewing, something that combines my other interests, cooking and science. I enjoy interesting foods and am often trying out new recipes; the more unique the food, the better!...

Hello, my name is Monica and I love being outside, whether it be in the garden, the mountains or at the beach. I aim to be thoughtful and of service to others, stepping up for people in need or volunteering to host for the holidays. I am an empathetic person, always striving to be sensitive to others and consider things from their perspectives. Both in and out of my career in financial services, I am hard-working, trustworthy and respectful of others. With a wacky sense of humor, I enjoy a good laugh! In my downtime, I also love cooking, watching movies, and...

Hello, we are Jared and Monica and we are so grateful for the opportunity to tell you a little bit about ourselves and to share our hopes of becoming parents through adoption.

Our story began in the fall of 2000 when we met on the first day of college and quickly became close friends. Within a year, we began dating and five years later, were engaged. We married in 2005 and just recently celebrated 15 years of marriage and 20 wonderful years together! We’ve come so far together and are truly best friends....
