How Adoption Has Affected Us Personally

We have definitely been touched by adoption. Glenn's younger brother and sister-in-law have adopted through American Adoptions twice. We have seen what a wonderful and loving experience it can be. They have two beautiful boys aged five and two. Eileen is the godmother of Anthony and Glenn is the godfather of Michael. They are both so adorable and well-adjusted and Anthony is very protective of his little brother. Fortunately Anthony and Michael live nearby so we get to see them quite often. It is amazing how quickly they are growing up!

We are lucky to have their help and support in becoming adoptive parents. They have had two great experiences with adoption and that only strengthens our belief. We know that there is a baby out there waiting for us too!




Qualities We Love, Admire and Respect in Each Other

Eileen is very ambitious and successful. She has a thriving business and treats her staff like family. She is smart and talented and the most organized and together person I have ever known. I truly believe that there is nothing she cannot do. She is loving and nurturing and is a great listener and friend. I think she will make an amazing Mom.

Glenn is a very passionate person. Whatever he touches, he puts his heart and soul into. He is very outgoing and has many friends. People are drawn to his smile. I admire his ability to see the positive in any situation. He is also very warm and caring and has a huge heart. He is my best friend.

The quality that we feel is most important is our love and devotion to each other, which we hope to share with your child. We can promise you your child will always have our love, support and guidance.


Volunteering Our Time for Charity

Glenn Delivering a Bicycle to a Little Girl at Christmas

We both love Christmas and we know there are many people less fortunate than us right in our community. Several years ago, since Glenn works in the bicycle industry, we thought what better gift to give a less fortunate child than a brand new bicycle for Christmas. We wrote letters to local newspapers and businesses and started collecting donations for our cause. We contacted our town's department of Social Services and found that they had a holiday program where children in need are encouraged to write letters to Santa. They were happy to provide us with a list of names of all the children who asked for a bicycle. For the past five years, we have raised enough money to give a bicycle to every child that asked Santa for one.

The highlight of it all is on Christmas Eve when Glenn gets dressed as Santa and Eileen is Santa's helper and we deliver the bicycles in person to each little girl and boy. Some years we have delivered as many as thirty bikes. Although it is only one night of the year, the smiles on the children's faces last for months in our hearts.
