Hi, we are Josh and Blair! We want to thank you for choosing to learn about us and hope that you will give us the blessing of finally becoming parents.

We met through work in 2000 and have been each other’s rock and best friend ever since. At the time, Blair was a receptionist and Josh was a technician for a service company. The joke is that Josh called the office and spoke to a mutual friend and asked if he would get Blair’s phone number for him. Little did he know Blair heard the whole conversation! She thought he was so charismatic and sweet and agreed to go on a date with him. After our first date, we were inseparable. Josh purposed six months later, and we were married on September 27, 2003.

We both decided it was the right time to start our family around 2014.  Unfortunately, we suffered an ectopic pregnancy that required immediate surgery.  We have struggled with infertity for years and have been unable to conceive a child.  So, we decided to take a different path and opened our hearts to adoption. It is something that we had talked about for the past few years and we feel that we are meant to be on this journey of adoption!  Adoption is something that touched our hearts and we believe a special little soul is waiting to come into our life through adoption!  

My greatest dream has always been to become a mom. As a child, I remember the love and guidance that my parents provided. I long to nurture and provide a child with the same happy life full of love, education, and support. 

I have three older siblings. I am an aunt to eight nieces and nephews. I love spending time with them and being a part of their lives. Our family traditions and holidays were very important to me growing up and they are still just as important to me today! On holidays my siblings and their children along with Josh and I visit my parents home. We have holiday dinners and enjoy spending quality time together.  My parents live 20 minutes from us. My mom and dad are so excited for us to welcome a child into the family!

I am an underwriter for an insurance company.  I have been with the same company for 12 years and have had a successful career with them. It is an awesome company to work for and I enjoy my job. Outside of work, I love spending time with Josh, our puppy and our family. I also enjoy going on our boat fishing, and crabbing in the summer. 

I grew up with an older brother. My mother and father were very supportive and loving. They inspire me to be an exceptional parent. I grew up very close to my grandparents as well. I remember my brother, cousin and me spending weekends with them. I loved playing board games with them and we joke that Pop would always win! Our grandparents miss the childhood days with us, and we reminisce on good times we shared. My cousin’s birthday and mine are a few days apart, so we would always celebrate our birthdays together with our grandparents. We still keep that family tradition going to this day.   

I am a manager of a large company and have been there for 17 years. My career is very rewarding and I love what I do. I enjoy helping customers and also managing my technicians and providing guidance to help them have a successful career in the business.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with Blair, our puppy, and our family. I love throwing the football with our nephew, Blair’s sister’s son, who is adopted. I have fun teaching him how to crab on our boat and taking him to the community pool! I also enjoy traveling on cruises with Blair.  Sometimes my Mother is able to join us on our vacation. She lives a few hours away and travels often to visit us.

We live in a single family home in a residential community in Delaware.  The fenced-in backyard is our puppy’s favorite place to run and play. Down the street from us is a park with a jogging path. Lots of families play there and we like to bring our puppy. Every summer a carnival comes to our community and we walk and enjoy the carnival!

We recently remodeled our kitchen and enjoy cooking meals together. Family and friends describe our home as very cozy, and we enjoy decorating our home for all of the holidays.

We also own a second home at the beach and spend our weekends there in the summer.  A canal with water access is right out our back door and is where we dock our boat. During the day we take our boat on the water and enjoy fishing and crabbing! We enjoy hopping on the boat and watching the sunsets in the evening.  

Our families enjoy spending time with us at our beach home. We take our nieces, and nephews out on the boat and they have an awesome time! We look forward to a future child doing all the same things. 

We enjoy going on cruises to the Caribbean, Bahamas, or Bermuda. We typically cruise once or twice a year. We imagine that there is a Disney Cruise in our future, once we adopt! 

Our favorite holiday to spend with family is Christmas. We typically join our family in Delaware for the holiday, but always make sure to visit our family in Pennsylvania the week before. Christmas is such a joyous time of year and we can’t wait to share it with a child! 

Memorial Day is another favorite holiday of ours. We love having our families visit us at our beach home for a weekend full of boating, barbequing, bonfires, and s ‘mores. Both of us have really great childhood memories of spending summers at the beach, and we hope that any child who joins our family will too! 

In the fall, we like to dress up for Halloween and pass out candy for the neighborhood children. We also like going to the orchard and picking pumpkins and can’t wait to take a child on hay rides. We enjoy all the seasons and find things to keep us busy.  However, we both agree that Summer is our favorite season. 

We are extremely blessed to have our families! They are awesome people who are very supportive of us and very present in our lives. We are very close to our parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins. We enjoy spending time with everyone and get together often. Our families are so excited to be adding another family member through adoption. We see their faces light up when we talk about adopting a child!

We want to say thank you for choosing to get to know us. We truly believe that a special little soul is just waiting to come into our life! We have been praying for this child for many years. Adoption is something that really touched our hearts and we are so excited to welcome a baby into our family through adoption!

If you choose us to raise your child, please know that they will never need for anything and will be given a happy and safe home with lots of love! We will devote our lives to providing him or her with all the love, security, and happiness we can offer. Your child will be joining a family with two loving parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, many cousins, aunts, and uncles. Our families are excited to share in the child’s life!  

We plan to raise your child with an understanding and gratitude for you and the sacrifice you are making for him or her!  We would be happy to share updates and photos throughout the child’s life, if that is something you desire. No matter what, we will honor and respect your decision regarding openness.

We admire the bravery it takes to make this decision. You would be giving us the most precious gift in the world and we will be eternally grateful. We long for the day we can meet him or her and cuddle them through the long nights, and early mornings.  Our thoughts are with you as you make your decision.
