From Us to You

Dear Expectant Mother,

We can only imagine the difficult and unique journey you are on right now, and although we cannot fully understand your experience, we want to express our gratitude for the incredible decision you have made to bring a new life into the world.

We are Ecaterina and Alexandr, and we have been married for almost a decade. We have always dreamed of having a big family, with our home filled with the joy of children’s laughter. However, we have encountered fertility challenges that have made that dream difficult to achieve.

We have created a special space in our home for a child, with toys and a cradle waiting for them. We have been busy preparing for the arrival of a little one, including finding a comfortable car seat for them. Our first language is Russian and we will raise your child in a bilingual home. We already have experience with children and regularly take our nephews on trips to the nearby playgrounds. We also have a loving cat.

As a hobby, Ecaterina enjoys baking cakes, while Alexandr enjoys playing the tuba and watching football. We come from a large and friendly family who often gather together and go on vacations. We are also active in our local church community. We can already imagine Ecaterina baking cakes and other goodies together, while Alexandr teaches them to play football. In the winter, we will bundle up and make snowballs and go sledding together as a family. At Christmas, we will pass on our tradition of donating gifts to children who don’t have any. Your child will grow up with a loving and friendly family with cousins and many friends from our local church.

We have so much love that we want to give to the child that you will bring into the world. We pray for the health of you and your baby. We promise to love and care for your child. They will know of you, their birth mother and we will send you photos of them growing up if you would like.

Thank you for considering us as potential parents, and may God bless you and support you during this challenging time. You are a special woman, and we are grateful that you took this time to meet us. We look forward to creating a lifetime of joyful memories with our child.

Why We are Choosing to Adopt

We love kids very much. Due to infertility, we cannot have biological children. Ecaterina’s parents have adopted children which made us realize we wanted to adopt even more. We thought for a long time and decided that we are ready to become his parents and grow into a full-fledged family.

Our Way of Life

We have been married since 2013, and we take every opportunity to spend time together and learn more about each other. In the evenings, we like to go for walks through the streets of our city. In the summer, we visit the farmer’s market together. And in winter we go to the farm for milk and make delicious cottage cheese from it, from which my wife bakes delicious buns. We like to cook and eat together. Another big part of our lives is spending time with our families whenever we can. We often watch our nephews who like to go to parks, have picnics, and play with toys that Alexandr brings home for them. We recently went on a trip to Wyoming, and a big highlight for us was bringing cooking gear along to make meals for our whole family.

Home & Neighborhood

We live in a townhome in a quiet neighborhood. There are a lot of playgrounds and parks near us where we like to go for walks and take our nephews. Not far from us is an old town where we like to go and look at historic houses. There is also a local airport with small planes nearby, we like to come there and have a picnic on the field and watch the flights. A couple of minutes away from us there are all the necessary shops and even farms with milk. We love our town and can’t wait to raise a child in its quiet, safe environment.

Our Families

Alexandr’s parents live 10 minutes away from us. Every Sunday after church we go to lunch with his parents, and Alexandr’s mom cooks us a very delicious lunch. His older sister and her 5 children live next door to their parents. Alexandr’s oldest nephew is married and has a wonderful daughter and they live about 35 minutes from us. His youngest sisters also live just a few minutes away. Most of Ecaterina’s family, including her brother, sisters, 5 nephews, and parents live in Moldova. Ecaterina’s parents have fostered and adopted children. Her oldest foster sister is married and lived in Germany. The rest of her foster siblings are still young and go to school and college.

Family Traditions

We love to spend all the holidays with our family. At Christmas, we go to church and then we go to Alexandr’s parents. Everyone brings a lot of delicious food and we eat together, sing songs and spend time talking with each other. We have a large family when we are together because Alexandr’s parents have 13 grandchildren and 1 great-granddaughter. We have noisy gatherings, but we like it when kids run, laugh, and play; it’s fun! Alexandr’s youngest sister is preparing for a future family trip. She chooses where the whole family goes because she is such a good planner. We can’t wait for your child to join in our family fun.
