Josh & Gabrielle

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to look at our profile as you consider an adoption plan. We can only imagine the difficult emotions you are experiencing as you consider what is best for you and your precious baby. If you choose to make an adoption plan, we would be honored beyond words if you allow us to become parents to your child. And if you do, we promise we will love your child with all of our hearts!


We chose to adopt a long time ago.

In fact, it was one of the very first things we talked about on our first date over 10 years ago! We’ve always known there will be a child who needs our love, and now we are ready to welcome a precious baby! We own a home in a safe neighborhood that is perfect for raising children, and we have strong, loving relationships with both of our families, who are excited to support us and welcome a new grandbaby/niece/nephew/cousin!

ABOUT US

I am an attorney at a small law firm here in our hometown

Just 5 minutes away from our house. I have lots of hobbies — I love to draw and paint, I love to read all sorts of books, and I love to write my own short stories. (I can’t wait to make up stories for my child one day!) I am very close with my parents and my siblings — I have a brother and 3 sisters — and one of my favorite things to do is simply spend time with them. I am also a huge Ohio State Buckeyes football fan, and I love to travel and explore new places with Gabrielle. But most importantly, I am excited to be a dad!

about Josh

I love my job as an elementary school 

Principal (at a school just a few minutes from our house). I love spending time with my family, playing games, and sharing good food. I have one younger sister who is my best friend in the whole world, and I have a major sweet tooth — I can’t pass up a good donut! I love being outside and exploring new places, and I love to read — I grew up loving the Harry Potter books, and still do! I am excited to be a mother and can’t wait for this next chapter!

ABOUT Gabrielle

We own a home that we believe will be perfect for raising a family.

It has plenty of space, including two levels and a play area, as well as three bedrooms — one of which is a nursery, just waiting for a baby! We also have a fenced-in back yard, along with an in-ground pool. Our home is also situated on a cul-de-sac, so it is perfect for children to ride bikes around safely. In fact, many of our neighbors have small children that ride their bikes up and down our street during the warmer months. We hope our home becomes the “summer hang out” house where our future children and their friends will want to hang out and play at all summer long.


We also adopted two rescue kittens in 2020, who we named Pan and Hester. They’re both very sweet, and we love snuggling and playing with them — especially Pan, who loves to play fetch like a dog!
