Francine and Samuel
Dear Birth Parent,
We are Francine and Samuel from Switzerland. We met in 2013 and have been together ever since. Our story has led us to this exciting journey of adoption - hopefully with you. We always knew we wanted children. But because of infertility we never managed to succeed. We thought about adoption for a long time and decided together that adoption is the best way for us to build our family and also help a baby in need of a loving forever home.
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.

You will always hold a special place in our family's heart and we will ensure that your child knows that every choice that led them to be raised by us, was made with love.
