Dear Expectant Mother,
Our names are Scott and Tanya. We truly appreciate that you are considering us as an adoptive family for your baby. We are so excited to be parents and we feel very fortunate to be able to adopt. We both love children and can not wait to journey into this new phase of our lives. We will provide a loving and nurturing home for your child. Choosing parents for your child can’t be easy and we hope that after reading about us that you will see how much love we have to offer. Hugs and kisses are waiting for your child.

About us
The year was 2000 and Tanya was working as a nurse in the emergency room at San Francisco General. Scott was the patient. Scott states that Tanya saved his life from a “paper cut” injury at work, that he jokes was life threatening. We knew from the beginning that there was a special spark. We know that sounds cheesy but it’s true. We have that special lifelong bond and we seem to be the perfect compliment to each others' personalities. We are best friends and enjoy the work that’s essential to maintaining a relationship. We are also extremely blessed to have careers that are flexible enough to create our own schedules. Flexibility will be important with child rearing since we will be running to after school practices, music lessons, dentist appointments and we want to be active participants in all daily activities.

Scott’s thoughts on Tanya
The best thing that I’ve ever done in my life was marry Tanya. Tanya grew up in the San Francisco area and then put herself through college— amazing enough—but she went above and beyond by graduating with distinction. After completing her degree in nursing she worked in several trauma centers in the Bay Area. It was at San Francisco General Hospital that I first met her. Over a several month period, I had an opportunity to really get to know her. I watched Tanya interact with patients, me being one of them. She’s the best nurse I have ever crossed paths with. Not just because she’s knowledgeable but because she has the talent to nurse the human spirit as well. And as they say, “the rest is history.”

Early in our relationship Tanya invited me to an Oakland A’s baseball game. During the game a foul ball was hit in our direction. The entire section we were sitting in scrambled for the ball as it bounced off of the seats and onto the floor. The floor was littered with people scrambling for this ball, but when it was over this little 5’4” 110 lb. woman was the one clinging to the ball. Now that I’ve been with Tanya for six years that story doesn’t surprise me nearly as much as it did that night.

Tanya has the determination and will power of a locomotive train. She never steers away from difficult issues and isn’t afraid of getting her hands dirty. Tanya enjoys reading so much that she joined a local book club. She loves to cook and gets an even bigger joy from putting on “the spread” for family and friends. Weekends and holidays have become a cherished event at our house. Our friend’s children love to visit because she always has special treats for them. Whether it’s a pack of gum or big red gummy lips she’s always ready for a good time. I love Tanya for all that she is and all that she does.

Tanya writes about Scott
Scott is a hard worker. He’s a former Marine and continues his civic duty in his current line of work as a police officer. He has a charming personality, is out-going and has the ability to light up a room and make people comfortable around him. They say that children have an inherent intuition and I believe that to be true, because all children migrate to him and fall in love with him instantly. He loves animals, dabbles in photography and loves to garden. He’s a history buff and prides himself on keeping up on current affairs. Scott’s an excellent cook and a modern man when it comes to helping out with the household chores. Family and friends are very important to him. He’s a wonderful husband and I have no doubt that he will make a loving, patient parent.

Our Home
We live just outside of San Francisco in the Oakland Hills. We have a three bedroom home in a safe and quiet neighborhood. It is located on an acre lot on the top of a hill. It is a beautiful setting surrounded by trees with many nearby trails where we walk our dog Gunner. We love our oasis and find it hard to believe that we are within an urban area. We are close to an elementary school in a great school district, a wonderful children’s park, and convenient shopping.

Our Family Values
Family is the heart of our values. We grew up in loving, family-centered homes, so family gatherings, and nightly dinners are must attend events. We are extremely fortunate to have our families living near us and can be a wonderful part of our child’s upbringing. Our child will be blessed with many playmates from cousins to family friends, so no shortage of play dates. We will do our best to make our child feel safe, secure, and special. We will encourage our child to pursue his or her passions and dreams.

In Closing
We’re excited to grow our family through adoption and hope you will consider us as adoptive
parents for your baby. You will have a special place in our hearts and your gift of love will
always be appreciated. We are excited to hear from you.
