Our Adoption Website!

We are beyond thrilled to be launching our adoption website today!  While we have had a Facebook page and this blog for quite some time, our intent all along was to have a large website that would tell our story.  Well, that small seed grew into something quite large--our massive adoption website.  As the true flagship of our outreach and networking efforts, we hope that this site helps those considering adoption understand our family by giving a sneak peek into our everyday lives, our family values, and our hopes for the future.  In this vein, it is full of pictures from the past and the present, from family and friends, from holidays and celebrations.  It explains what beliefs, traditions, and values define us as a family and, above all, details our promise to the child and the family that come into our lives.

At times it still feels a bit odd to be putting our whole lives out there like this, but every piece of adoption wisdom we come across points to the same thing--outreach and networking are far more effective than waiting.  Completely logical, right?  So we are not sitting and waiting, but rather, putting ourselves out there for all to see; hoping that our efforts help to build our family, hoping that every personal contact we have will share this with their own contacts, and they with theirs and so on and so on.  And that eventually, news of our waiting family will reach a birth family considering adoption, a family that will be our perfect pair.

Yes, we hope that these efforts brings us one step closer to bringing a child into our home, but we also hope that it serves as a resource to any birth mother or birth family considering adoption for their child.  Here's hoping that regardless of the decision that is reached, this site helps to highlight not only our family, but also the spirit and promise of adoption itself.

So, enjoy!  And if you are so inclined (which we hope that you are) please help us spread the word and share, share, share!     www.perfectlypaired-erikandsuzyadopt.com 

*** A very special thanks to everyone who helped us with the building of this website by offering pictures, edits, and advice.  We couldn't have done it without you!  You are clearly an enormous part of our lives, one we have relied on throughout this journey and one we look forward to sharing the next chapter of our lives with. *** 

A very special thank you to Poly at Poly Mendes Photography who took many of the beautiful pictures found on the site.  The life that she brought to the site with her images is incredible.  We can't wait until we meet up for pics again--next time with a little one!
