We are Joe, Elle and Alex and we’re so glad that you found us! We met at a New Year’s Eve celebration on December 31st, 2013, and were instantly drawn to one another. A brief introduction soon turned into a few hours of conversation until, before we knew it, we were welcoming in the New Year together. A little less than four years after meeting, our energizer bunny Alex arrived. As we are both the eldest of 3 siblings, we are hoping to extend our family through adoption. We view adoption as a natural choice because we have seen what a blessing adoption has been in our own extended family. Receiving the joy of an addition to our family will provide us with the opportunity to not only provide a loving home for our future child but also to meet and form a relationship with birth parents. We are so excited to adopt and cannot wait to meet the child who will be part of our family. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us and consider us as you make the decision of who will parent your child.

Our Lives
Our weekdays are usually filled with school, work, extracurricular activities and fun at the park. Nevertheless, we still make time for a few things we consider traditions such as date nights, swimming at the pool and eating out twice a month. Saturdays are our “Day Off” where we rest and relax and have the “Family Call” with our relatives abroad. Then on Sundays we have music lessons, sports, birthday parties or other special events. Most of all we just like to spend time together or hanging out at the park with friends. Where we live there are many school and community events, so the best part is that no two weeks are ever the same! When summer comes around, this is our time for traveling to see family members. However, our favorite time of the year is the year-end holiday season and all its celebrations!
Our Family
We both come from closely knit families. As the eldest of 3 siblings, both Joe and Elle place a high value on staying connected. Throughout the week, we speak with Elle’s parents and once a month on Saturdays, we have a family call with Joe’s family in Europe. Each year, we travel to visit our family members in the US, Bermuda or Europe so that we can see aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents in person. In addition to summer trips, the year-end holidays are important to us. One of our favorite things to do is our Christmas Zoom call with our extended family members across the world. As we live in New York, our community allows us to appreciate both the traditional and non-traditional customs of others. We have many friends that we consider family with whom we celebrate, and they are all awaiting a new addition to our family.
Final Thoughts
We want you to know that we will love your child unconditionally and will dedicate our lives to providing him or her with all the love, security and joy we can offer. You will always be an integral part of his or her life and we plan to raise him or her with an understanding and appreciation for you and the sacrifice you are making. Our child will be loved by us, our families, our friends and extended community. Thank you again for considering us. We support your final decision no matter what that may be, and you will always be in our thoughts and prayers.
