hello! My name is Danica
Here is a glimpse of who I am and my family. Through my photos and words, I hope you can see that we are a fun, adventurous, and loving family.
My son and I dream of growing our family and welcoming another child with all our love. I believe in open adoption and hope for the opportunity to share this journey with you with as much of involvement as you feel comfortable with.
I am a mom first and a dermatologist second.
I have always known I wanted more children but after many fertility treatments, I knew adoption would be the right opportunity for me. I am from Connecticut and moved to Florida years ago. I am lucky to enjoy what I do as a physician and work at an office where family values are important and have a flexible work schedule. At home I am passionate about teaching new things in fun ways like how read, math, playing the piano and speaking Spanish.
Family is very important to me. My parents, my son and I enjoy our family meals together, playing games, reading and taking walks. We also take many family vacations each year with my sister, husband, and their 2 children (age 2 and 6). Being physically active is also something I value.
MEET TRAIL
Trail is 7 years old and eager to be a big brother.
He enjoys building legos, playing basketball, swimming, tennis, running, reading books, playing games, freeze tag, eating ice-cream and laughing!
“I love hiking, running, biking, yoga, and indoor rock climbing and taking tennis lessons with my son.”
OUR HOME AND FAMILY
We live in a suburban area outside of Orlando in a very friendly kid neighborhood with many diverse backgrounds and ethnicities.
Our public Elementary school is actually built in our development so we can walk to school every day and I am able to volunteer at the school on my days off from work.
We have an amazing Children's theater and see many plays and music concerts. Also close by we take art classes and explore our Science Center, Sea World, Disney World, and Legoland.
My parents (who met in hairstyling school) are very active in their grandkids’ lives- playing games, riding bikes, reading and teaching how to grow a garden.
My sister, an artist, teaches the kids the joys of getting messy and creating art! My brother-in-law entertains us all by creating funny stories and juggling almost anything.
