Hi! My name is Danielle
I’m hoping to adopt!
Learn more about me by downloading and reading my adoption profile book.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me!
I could not be more excited to welcome you and your baby into our life. Alex, has been begging to be a big brother since the moment he could talk!
I have always known that my family would grow through adoption one day, and I greatly admire your courage as you consider it. I imagine this is not an easy choice. As you are working through these emotions I want you to know that if chosen, I will stand by your side along the way. My hope is that as you learn more about me, you will begin to feel more comfortable in your decision.
OBSTACLES
I struggle to say this, but I have not had an easy life. I share this so you know that you are not alone.
I grew up in foster care. From the ages of 2, my parents were unable to care for me. In foster care I was able to see what it felt like to have a stable and loving family. I worked hard to put myself through school while living place to place until I could get on my feet. In my 20's I reconnected with my parents but sadly my mother passed away in 2016. People often tell me they don't know how I do it.. my answer is "Only God knows the weight I can bare.. I am here for a reason and that is to help ease the suffering of others by sharing my strength."
A CLOSER LOOK
For Fun
On the weekends I like to travel and explore new places, go to the beach, see concerts, garden, and enjoy just being out in nature. I'm a huge animal lover of all kinds. I've been obsessed with animals since I was a little girl, and I teach Alex that every living thing has a purpose. I enjoy meditation, and every week I meet with a spiritual mentor. I also love volunteer projects, I think it's so important to give back to your community.
Daily Life
We love to go on roadtrips to local parks to see which is the best. At night we snuggle up and take turns reading books to each other. He can't wait to read to a little one.
Values To Share
I believe we are the voice of our children until they can develop a voice of their own. I try my best to speak life into every child I meet by complimenting them and reassuring them that they can do anything they set their mind to.

DO WHAT YOU LOVE, LOVE WHAT YOU DO
I'm a stay at home mom and a business owner, the best of both worlds. I built my business from the ground up, and I love what I do.
I'll be at home with my children, and because I'm my own boss, I can take off when needed and schedule around my children, who will always come first.
I'm a Registered Nurse, and while I was traveling, I found inequalities in the field. Some were making less with the same skill set because of their gender or race. I wanted to start a company where everyone was treated equally. I now help other nurses find fair employment in the field, no matter where they are working.
I own a nursing agency and am passionate about servicing the community
Fun Facts About Me
I collect sand from all of the beaches I have visited.
I taught myself to play piano and can play the tune to just about any song I try
I started my business with no experience. I literally googled how to do it and now we are a nationwide brand!
I love animals and have rescued the ones that need the most care since I was a child.
FUTURE BIG BROTHER, ALEX
alex is 6 years old and very advanced for his age.
He has been preparing to be a big brother since he was 3 and even has a stock pile of toys put a aside for his future sibling.
Right now he's into legos, animals, science experiments, Minecraft (he says I am the coolest Mom because I play it with him), and making youtube videos.
HOME SWEET HOME
We live on a quiet tree covered street in Central New Jersey. It was named one of the countries top places to raise children in 2020.
When you walk into my house you immediately feel like you are home. My kitchen is positioned to overlook the yard so I can cook and watch my son play and the basement was transformed into a playroom and classroom where we spend lots of time.
I like to think we live in the perfect location. We are 40 minutes from the ocean and directly in between NYC and Philadelphia. We are surrounded by farmland but can take a train to the city for some quick fun.
We enjoy going to community events such as the St. Patrick's Day Parade, Tree Lightings, apple picking at local farms and the Macy's parade in NY.
MEET MY FAMILY
My Father (Grandpa) is a retired Long Island Railroad worker and loves taking us on train rides and teaching my son about how everything works. My Brother (Uncle Dan) just graduated from high school and is into tech and computers. He also loves visiting Alex and building legos with him whenever possible. Both of them live nearby and we see them often.
I grew up in foster care and formed life long bonds with the families who raised me. My two foster families (The Carrs and the Parkers) have become friends over the years and now we enjoy holidays and celebrations all together. We spend Christmas Eve at the Parkers with matching PJ's, play Pollyanna and unwrap a ball of toys covered in cellophane wrap with oven mits. Things get intense as they are very competitive, it's always a good time! Christmas Day we go to The Carrs and enjoy a traditional Polish meal. Other shared traditions include the deviled egg challenge on Easter, followed by an egg hunt and the 3 legged race, as well as the fall chili contest and a craft making bash in the summer. We always have so much fun!
A NOTE FROM ME TO YOU
I am honored and humbled that you read my story.
I hope that you were able to get a feel for who I truly am and the amazing community of loving people that I am blessed to have in my life and who would shower your child with love.
I want you to know that your love and strength amaze me. Should you decide to make an adoption plan, I will be there to welcome you into my family as I was welcomed by many over the years. I promise to always provide a safe and happy home for your child which will allow them to have every opportunity possible. I am ready to begin this journey with you and pray that you find peace with your decision.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me!
