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

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.
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!

on this journey. Know we are here to support you and answer any questions you might have about who we are and the life we hope to provide for your child.
We've always envisioned starting our family through adoption, as Thomas had a wonderful experience being adopted. We hope to be able to provide the same gift to your child. We look forward to hearing from you and
hope to meet in person very soon!

Ryan and Teddy

Dear Birth Mother,
Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We recognize that this decision comes with incredible strength and love, and we have the utmost respect for the thought and care you are putting into this process.
We are a devoted couple from New York, married for two years, and partners for seven. Our relationship is rooted in love, respect, and shared values, and we are eager to extend that foundation into
building a family. From the start, we envisioned a home filled with warmth, traditions, and a deep sense of belonging- a home where a child could thrive and be embraced for exactly who they are.
We hope this profile gives you a glimpse into who we are and the kind of parents we hope to be. More than anything, we want you to know how much we admire your courage and selflessness. No matter what you decide, we are here
to support you in any way we can and are honored to be part of this journey with you.
Megan

Hi! I'm Meg
Adopting a child has been my path to parenthood ever since I can remember. I feel prepared and confident enough now to parent so I shared the news with my family and closest friends who were incredibly supportive and am starting the adoption process.
Within these next pages, please take a tour of what life could be like for your child. These pages include a look at my hobbies and interests (besides Netflix), my
family (it's big), my friends (there are many), the kids that are excited to welcome a new member to the crew, and some of the traditions I've created or am part of.
Please ask any questions you may have & I wish you an easy pregnancy.

What's New at FFTA?
FFTA Launches New "Foster 2 Forever" Initiative
Forever Families Through Adoption, Inc. (FFTA) is very excited to announce the official launch of our Foster 2 Forever initiative. FFTA intends to work with prospective adoptive families
showing interest in adopting children in the foster system that are already freed for adoption and in need of permanent homes. FFTA is approved to facilitate the state mandated training of parents
to prepare them to adopt older children that may have histories of drug abuse, alcohol abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, abandonment, and more difficult childhood traumas, to no fault of their own.

"Foster 2 Forever" program.

The Adoption Tax Credit is Partially Refundable!
Due to recent policy changes, the adoption tax credit is refundable up to $5,000. The maximum allowable federal adoption tax credit for 2025 is $17,280.
This will hopefully allow more financial flexibility for adoptive families and of course help to reduce the number of children waiting in foster care!
Always contact your tax accountant or advisor for more guidance and make sure to save all invoices and expense reports towards your adoption.
