We are Robin and Gordon and we are hoping to adopt.

OUR HOME AND FAMILIES

As a Multi-racial family, we love how diverse and inclusive the San Francisco Bay Area is.

Our small, safe community is a wonderful place to raise a child with many great schools, a diverse population, and plenty of outdoor activities. Robin is half Puerto Rican and was born and raised in San Francisco. Gordon moved her twenty years ago, after being raised in the Sacramento area.

We also live near a lagoon where there is boating and water sports. In June there is a local art and wine festival. Every year there are fireworks over the lagoon for the fourth of July, and a harvest festival in the fall. We also enjoy yummy food trucks during the summer months each week. 

We really look forward to taking our child to the beautiful beaches where we can build sand castles and collect seashells. We are lucky that the weather is nice year round and we spend a lot of time outside enjoying the mild temperatures.

While both of us have lost our parents, they have left us with many beautiful lessons and memories. 

Gordon was an only child to only children, so without a lot of family left, his friends stepped in and Robin’s family has fully embraced him as their own. From his mother Gordon learned perseverance, empathy, leadership, and the importance of curiosity. From his Dad, he learned the importance of commitment and being true to one’s word. Gordon’s happiest memories from childhood are the road trips they took and talks about how we will do that as a family too!

Robin was raised by a single mom who passed when she was a child. Her grandparents stepped in to raise her, along with her aunt (“Nan”) and uncle. We are so thankful to still have Nan, who make us laugh hysterically. She is so excited to be a “grandma!” Uncle Skip was the person who took Robin to visit colleges, taught her how to drive and dropped her off for her first week of college. Skip and Leah, who we love to visit in Florida, will be “Grandpa and Lola” and cannot wait!
