Pete and Michelle
We're looking to adopt a baby
Hi! We are Pete and Michelle. We are so grateful for the time you are taking to get to know us better. We deeply admire your love, strength, and courage as you consider adoption for your child.
It was a bit challenging trying to meet "the right one," so we each gave online dating a go. We were each other's first match, and after exchanging phone numbers, we began chatting almost every night. After our first date, we were nearly inseparable! A little over a year later, we were engaged and we married in the summer of 2012.
Within a year of being married, we knew we wanted to start our family. After years of trying and many unsuccessful infertility treatments, our doctors still didn't know why things weren't working. Growing our family was the most important thing to us, and so we chose adoption. In 2020, we welcomed our daughter, Adrienne. We knew we would love our little girl, but we are amazed each every day at how full and incredible this love is. We hope to grow our family again through adoption and add more love to all our lives.
