A Letter from Lou & Ginger
Hi, Thank you for learning more about us and the type of life we could provide for your child. We are so excited to become first time parents through adoption! We have talked about adoption for many years while dealing with infertility and we feel now is the perfect time to pursue adoption. As parents we hope to share our love for God, for each other and our family, and for our pets (including dogs, a cat, turtles, and fish!). We like animals, going to amusement parks, cooking, and movie nights on the weekends. We’d love to get to know you and the life you picture for your child!
Our Story
We met through Ginger’s cousin when we were teenagers. We reconnected through Facebook many years later and hit it off. Two years later we were married! Now we’ve been married over ten years and are excited about this next step in our story–becoming parents. We are a Catholic couple with a very solid marriage. We communicate easily and make a great team!
Together we enjoy:
• Visiting Florida’s many theme parks many times each year (we have annual passes for Busch Gardens & Universal Studios!)
• Going to our local parks and beaches with our dogs
• Day trips to the zoo or aquariums
• Decorating the outside of our home for Halloween and Christmas
• Swimming
• Throwing BBQ’s and pool parties
• Cooking delicious meals
• Snuggling up on the couch with a good movie or our favorite shows
• Attending sport events
• Bowling
About Lou
Lou is a very outgoing, funny and caring man with a big heart. I am so blessed to have him as my partner. He makes me laugh, feel loved and special, and is always doing things to make me happy. Lou is a natural born leader which works well into his career as partner in an accounting firm and as a project manager. He is a very hard worker and excellent provider for our family. His job is very flexible and he has the ability to work from home 2 days a week. His family is very important to him and he always goes above and beyond for everyone in his life. I know he would make a great role model and amazing father for a child. He can’t wait to be a dad!
Lou likes to:
• Watch football with our dog, Axel
• Grill and host cookouts with our family around the pool
• Play poker
• Play sports
• Go jet skiing
About Ginger
Ginger is the most loving and caring woman I ever met. I am so lucky to have her as my wife! She works hard at her job, at the animal hospital, and still finds time to keep our home nice. Ginger has a deep love for animals and she can’t wait to share her love and knowledge of animals with a child. Family is very important to her and it brings her joy when our loved ones are all together. She is kind in nature and always puts others first. I know Ginger will cherish the chance to become a mother and love our future child with her whole heart.
Ginger likes to:
• Garden
• Read sci-fi books
• Cook
• Watch the Florida sunsets
Our Family
Ginger’s parents and siblings live nearby (her mom and dad live around the corner from us!), and she has a large extended family who live in New York. Lou’s mom and step-dad live only 3 miles away, and he also has family a few hours away. We love having family locally so we can see each other often, and plan trips to visit family outside of the area whenever possible. Everyone in our family is so excited about us becoming parents through adoption and have been very supportive.
Our Home in Florida
We live in a cozy 3 bedroom, 1 story, ranch style home. We love that it is an open floor plan so no matter what we are doing whether cooking, watching T.V. or sitting at the dining room table we can hang out and see one another. We have a nice size back yard with a large swimming pool and screened in porch great for pool parties and BBQ’s. Our neighborhood is very quiet and safe and we are walking distance to the park. We also live in a great location that is within driving distance to many fun activities.
Our Pets: We have 3 dogs, 1 cat, 2 turtles, and lots of fish! Axel is a yellow Labrador Retriever, Amber is a Chocolate Labrador Retriever, and Anya is a German Shepherd. They are very happy go lucky dogs who love people and children, playing fetch, and snuggling. Our sweet cat is Selena, who Ginger bottle fed when we found her at only 2 days old.
Our Promise
We promise to be completely devoted to your child and provide a safe, stable, loving and fun environment for them to grow up in. We will raise them to know God and have a relationship with him. We will provide your child with the best education possible so that they will be successful and confident in whatever they want to do as an adult. We will love your child unconditionally and be their biggest support system.
If you’re comfortable, we are open to sending pictures, communicating through letters, and sharing annual visits. Just know we are here to support you throughout this whole process. We look forward to getting to know you better and hearing your hopes and dreams for your child. We’re both so thankful to be considered as adoptive parents for your child! We promise to honor your child’s story and the special place you would always have in our family.
We’d love to talk or answer any of your questions. To learn more about us, please call or text Lifetime at 1.800.923.6784.
Love, Lou and Ginger
