You decide whether you would like to let them adopt your baby.

We are here for you to help make the decision that best suits your needs.

Dear Expectant Mother,
We imagine you must be going through so much right now. We deeply respect your courage and love as you consider adoption in deciding what is best for your child.  We thank you for taking the time to learn about us and would be honored if chosen as adoptive parents. We are a happy, stable, creative married couple, and we love each other with all our hearts. The most wonderful thing we have ever done is to adopt and care for our daughter, Sasha, and we are eternally grateful to her birthparents. We’ve always dreamed of raising two children, and now want to open our hearts and home to a new child, whom we will all cherish. We want to help create a loving life-long bond between two siblings, offering them both a happy life full of opportunities to explore, create and just have fun. We want them to feel strong and confident, loved and supported.

We believe that open adoption is healthy for children so that their birthparents are not mysteries to them, but real people. This can also help them develop a clearer sense of who they are. We have a positive, open relationship with Sasha’s birthmom. We write to each other and send lots of pictures. Last year, both of Sasha’s birthparents came to visit. We welcome an open relationship with you; however, we will respect whatever level of contact feels comfortable to you now, and in the future.

Let us tell you a little about ourselves…

Ev introduces Eric
Eric is the biggest sweetheart I’ve ever known. We’ve been together six happy years. There’s so much I love about Eric. He’s very supportive of me, makes me laugh and challenges my mind. He sees the beauty and joy in life and is endlessly curious about the world.

Eric is a terrific dad. He adores Sasha, and constantly makes up games with her. He is eager to teach her about everything and with his help, she’s already fixing her own toys! (Well, sort of…)

Eric has a big friendly smile and likes to talk with everyone, especially kids. Kids flock to Eric—he likes to see things from their viewpoint and explore it with them. Eric likes to take quirky photos, is passionate about playing piano and is an avid skier. He hopes to share some, or all, of his loves with children.

Eric’s an engineer who designs internet equipment. He used to design spacecraft at NASA so he loves to talk to kids about planets and space.

Eric introduces Ev
When I met Ev I knew I had found my life partner. She is smart, creative, and warm. Ev is an amazing mom.  I love that she can switch so easily from being thoughtful to playful, because parenting demands a ton of both. She has a knack for understanding what those around her are feeling and is very nurturing. Ev works two days a week as a psychologist. It means so much to her to help others move from a troubled place into their own strength and confidence.

Ev is very artistic and spends many afternoons with Sasha making silly collages or drawing animals. She loves showing kids the thrill of creating their own art. Our home is filled with her beautiful paintings. Ev is always working on a creative project and is currently writing a children’s novel. Ev is also good at making healthy delicious meals and desserts to die for!

Sasha
Sasha is an adorable, happy, spunky 2 year old who cracks us up on a daily basis. She likes trampolines, trains, singing, playing chase, and putting boxes on her head… We’ve been touched to watch her offer toys to other toddlers or bring them something to eat. She’ll be a wonderful big sister! 

Our Home
We live in the small, friendly town of San Anselmo, just a half hour north of San Francisco. It’s a beautiful area and a wonderful place for a child to grow up. There are many great parks and playgrounds, and the schools are excellent. The ocean and the forest are only a few miles away. We have a spacious home with plenty of room for a child to run around and play. And then there’s our two cuddly cats, Espresso and Orangina; they are lots of fun to have around and are great playmates for little ones.

Our Values
Family is our top priority. We are both committed to spending lots of time with our children, whether it’s having dinners together, going to our children’s performances or exploring the world (we love to travel!). We also strongly value our friends and relatives, who make up our wonderful, fun, loving community where the adults and kids play, eat, camp, swim, talk about everything under the sun…

We believe kids need a spiritual/moral foundation. We will teach our children the importance of compassion, treating people, animals and our planet with respect, being open-minded, generous and non-judging. We are an inter-faith couple so we will share the Jewish and Christian celebrations and rituals to create a warm home, rich in tradition yet open to different forms of spirituality.
