Hello! We are Chris and Tanya From Virginia.

We are grateful for the courageous decision you have chosen for you and your child and for taking the time to learn more about us.

Learn more about us by downloading and reading our adoption profile book.

Our hearts are overflowing with unconditional love that we are looking forward to giving to our future child!

We live an active, positive, and productive life and truly enjoy each other’s company. Adoption was always the plan for us after having biological children; however, since we have experienced fertility issues, adoption is now becoming a blessing earlier than expected. We fondly anticipate being loving parents and creating wonderful memories with our child. We hope this is reflected in our profile, which we thank you for reading. 

 HOW WE BECAME US

We’ve been married for 12 years

We actually met on Match.com! We talked on the phone for three weeks before our first date since we lived a couple of hours from each other. Throughout our initial phone conversations, we learned we shared several values, such as the importance of having a family, being a blessing to those around us, and working on being the best version of ourselves every day. These values have continued to make our marriage stronger year after year. We appreciated that both of our Match.com profiles were written from a positive viewpoint and were future focused. We got engaged a year and a half after our first date and married a year and half later! 

 “It is very important we work towards being the best version of ourselves so we can be a blessing to others. In doing so, we are committed to teaching our child about kindness, responsibility, mutual respect, integrity, and honesty. ”

OUR HOME AND FAMILIES

We live in a thriving neighborhood in Northern Virginia, where we live in a top ten nationally-ranked public school district.

There are so many points of interest in Washington DC and Virginia that are within driving distance. We love walking or riding scooters around the National Mall. We also like hiking through Shenandoah National Park and Great Falls National Park in Virginia. One of our favorite times of the year is attending beautiful Christmas light shows and drinking a cup of hot chocolate or making s’mores afterward. When we are not out and about, we love spending time in our nice home. We really love our kitchen, and our family and friends always find themselves congregating there, too.

We are blessed to be surrounded by wonderful family! 

Tanya’s mom only lives a few hours away in Pennsylvania, making it easy to spend time with her. Her sister’s family lives in Atlanta and we see them a couple of times a year. Chris’ dad, mom and two nieces live in Colorado and we visit them in person every year or so. Combined, we have one sibling, three nieces, one nephew, and over 20 first cousins. We have a diverse family background, including Black and Hispanic ethnicities.
