Bobby and Michael
Dear Birth Parent,
Thank you for checking out our profile!
We know that choosing an adoptive family for your child is probably an overwhelming (and unexpected) decision. But we appreciate so much the gift you're giving to couples like us.
We'd like to tell you a bit about ourselves, our life in New York City, and-if it feels right for you- how your child would be welcomed into our family.
Kimberly and Steven
Hello,
We are Kim and Steve from New York. A little bit of magic brought us together in July 2015 and today we share a happy, loving marriage.
We are hoping for another bit of magic in adopting your child and becoming parents. We recognize the challenging decision you are making and greatly respect your choice.
We are grateful you are considering us and hope that throughout these pages you will see who we are as both individuals and as a couple. More importantly we hope that you can see that we will be loving, caring, and supportive parents to your child.
Mark and Philip
Dear Birth Mother,
Thank you for taking the time to read our story and get to know us! It's hard to fit our lives into a small booklet, but we hope that it will give you an idea of who we are and why we believe we would be great parents for your child.
We have an amazing life together and can't wait to start our family through adoption. We believe there is a child out there waiting to be adopted into our family and we are hoping that their birth parents will find us soon. Maybe that parent is you and we look forward to sharing our dreams of adopting and becoming dads!

FFTA Board Secretary Sam Karliner to participate in Ironman World Championship Kona 2024
"Twenty-nine years ago, adoption changed my life in ways I could never have imagined. It blessed me with the children and the family I had always hoped for. Joy and Michael played a pivotal role in our adoption journey all those years ago, and their warmth, kindness, and dedication have remained constant throughout the years. As my family grew in love, I stayed connected with them and the incredible world of adoption. Whenever the opportunity arose, I found ways to help promote adoption education, which eventually led me to serve on the board of FFTA. Today, FFTA needs our help more than ever. Supporting FFTA in its mission to educate and create forever families is crucial.
On October 26, 2024, I'll be competing in the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, and I'm using this incredible event as an opportunity to raise awareness and funds for FFTA! As I push myself through the 140.6 miles of the Ironman, I'll be carrying with me all the love that adoption has brought to my life. Knowing that I have your support will be my greatest source of encouragement. Whether large or small, every donation from the heart will make a difference in helping FFTA continue its life changing work. I am deeply grateful for the chance to take on this journey, and even more so for the generosity of people like you who share my passion for supporting adoption. With heartfelt appreciation, Sam" Please donate and read Sam's story.Meet and Greet
