Dear Expectant Parent (s)
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. My name is Dana, I am a single mother currently raising my three year old son Chase I adopted from birth. I reside in New York about an hour from New York City. We live in a community that is a safe and friendly environment where children can play, learn, and develop their unique personalities. I believe my stable and loving home would be a wonderful place for another child to grow and thrive.
I am blessed to have wonderful relationships, and support from my parents, siblings, extended family, and a large network of friends. I have a stable, fulfilling career as a Human Resources Executive and work for an organization that makes life-saving medicines for patients. I am blessed to have a flexible job and family who is close by who is very involved in our lives. My mom retired when Chase was born and in addition to his ½ day preschool program she watches him until I come home from work.
On both sides of my family, there have been many adoptions. My mom’s father was adopted, and my mom adopted my cousin (her nephew) after my uncle passed away. On my dad’s side, my aunt also was adopted. When thinking about starting a family, the hope to adopt was in the forefront of my heart.
As a mother I prioritize love, fun, support, education and values in my parenting approach. With the support of my parents, I have created a nurturing home and life for Chase that is filled with laughter and celebration in the good times, and hugs and support during the hard times.
I will continue to show Chase and hopefully a new brother or sister how much they are loved each day. I have waited for this for my entire life, and my focus and energy will be on providing my children with all the best things that life has to offer. I look forward to teaching my children many things, while being open to all the things they will teach me. I say sorry when I am wrong, and also provide structure when they need it. If you trust me with this huge responsibility, I will cherish this gift for all my life as I have cherished Chase.
