OUR PROMISE TO YOU:
The child we adopt will be the most important thing in our lives. We will always put their best interests first.
We know from experience the dependents in our lives are what bring us together and are what bring us joy. It’s not all easy, but we are good at it.
We provide love and care to all our family members. The child we adopt is family. They will be supported by us, no matter what.
We can’t wait to know who the child is, and what makes them happy and safe. We will cherish them and their goals as they grow. We will provide stability so they can ultimately determine their course in life, while always knowing they will be welcome when they return.
We’ve learned a great deal about how to support one another and take care of ourselves in the process, and when to ask for help. We don’t pretend to know what this is like for you. But we are grateful to be considered.
ABOUT US:
We met in high school, this year is our 21st wedding anniversary. Family is important to us, and with plenty of adoption stories in our families we know that infertility shouldn’t stop us from being parents.
We like to laugh and make the best of any situation. Our goal as parents will be to raise a child who knows with confidence that they are loved and accepted. We cannot wait to share our lives with a child.
Dave is a 46 year-old doctor. He hopes to share his love of the outdoors and play with a child. Dave’s favourite food is sushi, he also loves boardgames and sci-fi. He prefers Taylor Swift’s “Red” era. Aurora says Dave is the best man she’s known (except for maybe her Dad). He’s generous and kind. He loves kids. He’s very playful, forgiving and loyal. Dave is going to be a great dad.
Aurora is a 45 year-old lawyer and partner at her law firm. She taught music lessons and hopes to share her love of reading and music with a child. Aurora’s favourite food is ice cream, she loves to cook and knit presents for others. Aurora won’t admit to watching “Love is Blind”. Dave says Aurora is the kindest and most patient person he knows. She works hard but she also loves to have fun and is passionate. She will be a wonderful mother.
Dave is planning to take a year of parental leave and Aurora hopes to take three months of leave, and will work from home to make sure we have a strong bond with our child.
ABOUT OUR FAMILY:
Aurora’s father Bill has lived with us since having a fall in 2017. He is 95 years old. In recent years Bill has developed memory and mobility issues, but he still plays an active role in our family’s day to day life and remains a part of the extend family celebrations. Bill is fully supported by 24-hour care in the home.
Some of Aurora’s earliest memories are Bill playing games and singing to her. She’s happy to report he has never stopped. Bill is adoptive Dad to Aurora’s biological siblings and has always been a role model for openness and caring. He enjoys the company of small children and animals.He enjoys puzzles, British TV crime dramas, as well as playing with Mo (our cat). He is excited and hopeful for a new addition to the family.
On weekends, we will often visit with family, go on an outing, run errands, and work on projects in the garden and around the house. We will often get takeout or make a special together. We both try to be active with walks or hikes, and Dave will often take a bike ride. Aurora likes to spend time with her friends. We both enjoy reading and playing games together.
Our families value time spent together, especially birthdays and Christmases. We want to recreate these cherished experiences. Our cat Mo is a celebrity in our home. He loves greeting visitors (like a dog), and is not startled by children, approaching them with friendly curiosity.
We’d like to take our child to Disney World, and explore British Columbia with them.
OUR HOME & COMMUNITY:
Our house is spacious but cozy and is located close to schools, parks and a hospital. We have a good-sized, fenced backyard with a patio for barbeques, and a garden with apple and plum trees. Aurora wants to plant some cherries and peach trees.
Our neighbourhood is quiet and kid friendly (kids play ball hockey on the street). We know our neighbours, and we look out for each other. Aurora is on the board for a local theater society. Dave sings in a choir and volunteers keeping parks safe and clean.
OPENNESS:
Openness is one of the most important parts of an adoption for the child, the birth parents, and our family. We fully support it and want to know everyone who loves our child. We have a strong family network who will support us all.
We understand the importance of a child’s developing identity and connection to their origins.
A genetic connection provides a person information about themselves in perspective that helps them to know who they are as an individual.
Openness is a way to provide that for our child.
We want to learn what type of openness contact you would like.
