The odds of us finding each other were huge but we are so happy that it did happen. While Brittany was living in Pennsylvania and CJ living in England, we connected online in a random chat room entirely by chance. We had a long conversation and realized we connected on many levels so we agreed to stay in touch. This developed into a long distance relationship which we sustained for several years before becoming engaged. During this time we visited multiple times each year alternating who would travel and we got to know each other's families and spent holidays and special occasions together.

Once we were engaged we had to work hard to get CJ a green card status to enable him to move to the USA so we could enjoy the rest of our lives together. We are now approaching our five year anniversary and couldn't be happier that we stayed the course through all these challenges.

We take enjoyment from a range of activities. We might be relaxing at home playing tabletop games or watching a movie, or we might be out on bigger activities like zip lining and trips to the beach. Some days, we'll simply go out to a park or a restaurant to enjoy time as a family.

Each of us has our own interests but also a lot we enjoy doing together. Brittany is very artsy, enjoying crafting and painting which she would look forward to sharing with your child. Since moving into our forever home, CJ has been pursuing various DIY projects and is enjoying developing his skills. He also enjoys building Lego. He has fond memories of building Lego with his father and hopes to be able to do the same one day.

Our city, and many others nearby, often arranges special events such as holiday celebrations, parades, and other activities geared toward family fun. We love being a part of these gatherings as a couple and our joy would be even greater to see the happiness they would bring to your child.

We both grew up with healthcare influence in the family and we both decided to pursue this field. As such we are both currently registered Emergency Medical Technicians with 911 experience.

In England CJ practically grew up in the water and became a lifeguard. Alongside this, he also used his water skills to teach swimming lessons to children of all ages. He later went on to be a first responder with the ambulance service there, and undertook his EMT certification as one of his first pursuits once he moved to the USA. He achieved a promotion to EMS Manager before we relocated to Florida and he currently works as a provider and trainer with a hospital-based ambulance service.

Brittany began her work in healthcare as a caregiver in an assisted living home, later specializing in dementia care. After seeing how rewarding CJ's work is, Brittany decided to pursue an EMT certification as well, and joined one of the local 911 agencies. Our intention for the future is that Brittany would step away from the ambulance in order to be at home as a full time parent to your child.

We live in Central Florida, in a growing city which is in close range of major locations such as Orlando.

In our neighborhood we see parents with young children, and older children riding their bikes regularly. While our home is in a quiet residential area, the city boasts a large library, multiple parks and other amenities. The city regularly hosts events, from holiday parades and celebrations to farmers' markets and art shows. There are two major hospitals, plus a recreation facility which includes a children's' play area, pool, football field, tennis courts and other sports facilities.

We own our home, which was constructed in 2021, and it is paid off. It is a three bed, two bath home with a two car garage and a spacious fenced backyard. We converted our old game room into a potential nursery for a child. We have lots of potential space for play areas and outside play equipment for a child to enjoy, whatever their preferred play activity is.

We are fortunate to receive the steadfast support of all members of both of our families. Brittany's immediate family lives in Pennsylvania, while CJ's lives in England where he's originally from. Despite the distance we see our family multiple times each year, and we all work hard to stay close and in touch with each other.

Our families are fun-loving; We enjoy trips to Disney World and Legoland just as much as we appreciate a good night in playing monopoly or sitting around the fire pit enjoying each other's company.

We have a family tradition of attending the local Christmas lights switch on together regardless of where we may be.

With the close relationship that we have with our family, they have been aware of our hope of adopting for a long time and are keen to support us in any way they can. Of course, our family would extend the same to your child as a part of the family.

We hope that you are doing well, and we truly wish you the best in this time and as you go forward with whatever decision you may make. We imagine that you are dealing with a lot of information and will read many letters like this one, all of which we are sure come from wonderful people. Therefore we are grateful for any time you take to read this letter and perhaps our wider profile.

We are husband and wife Christopher (CJ) and Brittany. We are approaching our fifth anniversary and have been together nearly a decade. From even before we were married we were committed to the dream of adoption as the way in which we would grow our family.

CJ is British and grew up in England. With Brittany growing up in Pennsylvania we are no strangers to commitment as we were in a long distance relationship for several years. We met online and quickly made a connection but it was three years before we became engaged and CJ was able to move to America. Now we are living our almost dream life as homeowners in Florida. All we hope for is the gift of a child to share in everything we have, everything we enjoy, and everything we can offer.

People would describe us as patient, caring and fun loving, and this is reflected in the things that we do. We value our family experiences and activities, we prioritize our time together and would extend that to your child. We can find fun in anything whether we are at home, out walking our dog, or going to the fun packed theme parks Florida has to offer. As everyone knows, Disney World is the happiest place on Earth and we would be so happy to be able to share that joy with your child. In much the same way as nurturing their happiness, we are filled with excitement at the prospect of supporting your child's development and journey into the person they choose to be, whether that be with schooling, life experiences or whatever else they need us to provide for them.

While we do have similar values, we also have our unique interests. Brittany loves to be artsy and enjoys doing any type of craft or painting on any canvas she can find. She is also a book lover and you can often find her reading Harry Potter for the thousandth time. Together you can find us cooking in the kitchen, Brittany is the main chef and has all the recipes or will make something up as she goes along with CJ being the sous chef. CJ loves to teach and encourage, both at work on the ambulance, and outside of his job. He is excited about the prospect of being able to share his knowledge and experience to the benefit of your child.

If adoption with our family is something you choose to consider, we would want you to be as much a part of your child's life as you would wish to be. It would be important to us that your child knows that they had been adopted, from the time they are able to understand the concept, and so it is equally important to us that we make sure that they have the relationship with you that you would like. Whether that be planned in-person visits or just photographs and updates, we would want to be connected if you would. Likewise, you are jointly the most important person in this situation, along with your child, and as such it would mean a lot to us to get to know you also. We hope that by reading this letter you feel you know us a little bit better and although we don't know you yet, we look forward to that possibility if you decide that giving us the gift of parenting your child is the best thing for them.

With our best wishes,

CJ & Brittany
