Why we want to adopt

We want to be a Mom and Dad and share in the joys of parenting a child. Stan is so great with kids; they love to use him as a jungle gym or wrestling partner and he loves to indulge them. And Michelle has such a great capacity for love. She does not hesitate to support neighbourhood charity events, help out with kids’ birthday parties or provide a listening ear to a friend in need. Together we have an endless supply of hugs to give.

Adoption has always been part of our family plan. Stan is adopted, as is one of my cousins and a close friend of mine, so adoption has always been a part of both of our lives. We’ll raise your child in much the same way we were raised: with a positive outlook toward life, lots of encouragement, lots of love, an abundance of warm hugs and adoring kisses.  We will guide and nurture him or her to grow, thrive and become their unique and special selves.  We will trust them and give them space to be responsible and make the right decisions.  We’ll show them that even when things don’t go as planned; the result can be just as good and usually better.  

We believe that families created by adoption are special and should be honoured.  Your child will always know their adoption story and the wonderful way we became a family
