Hi! We’re Eli and Vanessa
We’re hoping to adopt!
Learn more about us by downloading and reading our adoption profile book.
It's an honor to have you read our profile and gain a glimpse into our family.
We can’t pretend to know your journey, but are willing to support your courageous decision. Whether you choose to parent, choose us, or another loving family, we are humbled you are reviewing our profile. You have our utmost admiration and respect.
We love being parents to our two beautiful children, Eli and Alyssa. We encourage their growth by supporting their strengths and nurturing their opportunities. We have been called by God to grow our family again, but through adoption due to fertility challenges with a history of multiple miscarriages. Eli and Alyssa are incredibly excited for a little sibling to embrace, love, and teach.
OUR STORY
WE MET DURING PHARMACY SCHOOL IN PENNSYLVANIA.
We were in separate years, but had mutual friends. One evening our friends decided we should officially meet, so they secretly arranged a group night out. Vanessa was a dancer growing up, so when she saw Eli’s dance moves it immediately caught her attention. One dance together led to many that evening. We’ve been inseparable ever since. Now music fills our home either from Google in the kitchen to songs on the piano beautifully played by Eli. Random dance parties can turn any normal day into a GREAT one!
“We are ready for this new adventure and blessed to travel it with you. We promise a home full of love, support, and safety with every opportunity to thrive.”
OUR HOME AND FAMILIES
Our family moved to central Ohio in 2014. We live in the suburbs of a large city. Our home is on a quiet road with a cul de sac. We have plenty of room to grow our family with enough bedrooms for every child. Our backyard is fenced in with a wooden playset for the kids. Our 5 chickens live in their own coop in the backyard. We know all of our neighbors and celebrate Halloween and birthdays together. There are many children that live on our road. The elementary school is less than a mile from our home. There is always something to do in our area.
We grew up in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Most of our family still lives there so we visit there often. Vanessa’s mother, Debbie, moved to Ohio in 2020 to live with us. She is a huge help and support system for us. When we visit Pennsylvania we always stay at Eli’s father’s lake house. The house is right on a small lake with a private dock. Eli and Alyssa enjoy fishing and riding on the paddle boat. Eli’s father visits us multiple times a year. Vanessa’s father and step mother try to visit at least once or twice a year. Holidays are always a good time for us to get together.

We certainly would love to learn more about you. Should you select us as adoptive parents to your baby, we will provide a home full of love, laughter, faith, education, and doggy snuggles. We raise our children to be respectful, honest, kind, courageous, and generous. We would be honored to do the same for your child. We would also ensure your child knows where they come from, and how deeply you love them. To whatever degree you are comfortable, we look forward to sharing in this adventure with you.
