Our names are Brittany and Patrick, and we are SO grateful that you are considering us to possibly parent and adopt your baby. We know that you are making a really difficult decision for you and your baby, and we hope that we could only make the decision easier by showing you how much love we can provide your child. Although we may not know one another yet, our hearts go out to you and we admire your strength, love, and courage for choosing the path of adoption for your precious child!
How We Met:
Patrick and I are high school sweethearts. We've been together for 13 years now, married for 7. Patrick works as a High School teacher. He teaches college courses for Business and Marketing, and is a Marketing Director/Business owner with Brittany's mothers company. Brittany works as a Registered Nurse, in a hospital, working with people with Mental Health illnesses. She has been a nurse for 4 years now.
What Brittany Loves About Patrick:
If I had to choose 3 words to describe Patrick, I would choose: Compassionate, Determined, and Kind Hearted. When I first met Patrick in high school, I knew just after a few months of dating him that I wanted to be his wife and wanted to share the joys of parenthood with him. Patrick is a very compassionate guy, he puts his heart into everything he does. He works so hard to provide for me and our daughter, and to be able to live the life we want. He has so much passion for his job, his wife and daughter, and the students that he teaches.
Since being blessed with our daughter thru adoption, Patrick has turned into an amazing man I fell in love with even more than when we first met. To see his smile when he first walks in the door, to giving our daughter millions of kisses after a long day of work, he has stolen my heart all over again. He is an amazing father. He loves to teach her, cook with her, play "tea party," take her to basketball practices when he coaches, reading books to her, sing, and most of all, love her. Oakley is two and half years old, and she already knows her manners really well. She knows that you have to work hard to play hard, to a certain point only a two year old would know. Patrick is the light in her eyes, and she has him wrapped around her little fingers.
He has shown, and will continue to show her the true meanings and values of respect, love, courage, and a great work ethic. He brings me home flowers after a long week or stressful day working with taxing patients. Instead of bringing home one bouquet, he brings home two so Oakley has her own set of flowers from "Daddy." I love that he is teaching her how daddies should treat mommies.
I love him with all my heart and can't wait to see his daddy skills bless another baby.
What Patrick Loves About Brittany:
If I had to choose 3 words to describe Brittany, they would be: committed, patient, and nurturing. Another way to describe her would be that she makes me want to not only be a better husband, but to be a better father. I see how patient and nurturing she is to our daughter and she does such a fantastic job. I love seeing her do artsy crafts with our daughter, playing with her on the swing set or trampoline, dance and sing, or read to her.
One of my favorite things to see is how our daughter can't help but admire Brittany while she gets ready doing her hair and makeup. Our daughter is so enamored with Brittany, she wants to be just like her. Putting on the makeup, wearing her heels around the house, and even sporting her stethoscope trying to be caring and loving nurse like her mommy. Her love, patience, and kindness is unwavering. No matter what our daughter does, no matter how frustrated or tired Brittany may be after a long shift at work, the love, kindness, and compassion is always there. If only you could see my wife as she glows spending time with our daughter, you can't help but smile and feel warm inside as your heart feels full.
I can't wait to have another baby be blessed and to share all of our love and values that our daughter experiences from Brittany now.
About Our Daughter Oakley:
Oakley was born July 18, 2014 in California. She is a spicy little Latina, with the most uplifting spirit. She brightens the room as soon as she enters it. She is so lovable, caring, sweet, and definitely a little spitfire. She loves playing with her cousins, friends at preschool, coloring, playing with her dogs and bunny, watching Elmo or her favorite movies, jumping on the trampoline, or her playground in the backyard. She is so smart, and she says the funniest things.
I think my (Brittany) most favorite thing about her, is how gentle and caring she is. If you are having a bad day, she knows just what to do to make you feel better. Whether is is hugs, kisses, making a silly face, giving you snuggles, anything. She just has this touch to make you better. She is the best little girl we could ever ask for, and she is so excited to have a baby brother or sister. I know she would be a great big sister, and that she will always have their back for anything. She loves to help around the house, play with her dollies, change their clothes, and tuck them into bed. I could see her being a huge advocate to her sibling, and getting into the utmost trouble together as they become the best of friends.
Our Home:
We built our dream home in April of 2013. We are right around the corner from Patricks and Brittanys families, and are located in a nice neighborhood, close to a fire station, and elementary school. We are in LOVE with this home, and can't wait to fill it with another little voice of laughter! We have a nice big yard, a garden full of yummy fruits and vegetables, a trampoline with a safety enclosure, and a fun little playground with swings and a slide.

He is an idol to a lot of his students. He takes a lot of pride in his career, especially since he began teaching when he was 20 years old. It's been 10 years and he still goes to work with a smile on his face!
