Michelle and Ellen
We're looking to adopt a baby
We are Ellen and Michelle, and we want to thank you for taking the time to learn about us and for viewing our profile.
We have always wanted to be parents and were drawn to adoption as the best possible way to grow our family. Our dream to become parents came true when we adopted our son, Walter, in 2021. We have room in our hearts and home to welcome another child to our family to love and cherish every stage of their life.
We promise that you and your family will always be talked of highly, and we will ensure that your child knows their amazing story of love for how they came to be a part of our family. We will respect your choice regarding the level of openness in an adoption plan, no matter what you decide or how that decision changes with time. We will always honor and respect every piece of our children, including their unique stories and family histories.
With love,
Ellen and Michelle
