Hi! We're Charles & Sydney!!! We want to thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We are honored to be able to share our story with you.

We recognize what a difficult and agonizing decision you are making. We want you to know that we will raise your baby with the knowledge of you.  Your child will know that you are the bravest and most selfless mother in the world because you saw to it that your baby was given a wonderful life of opportunity and happiness. You will not be a secret.  We will show your baby the world, shower your baby with love and laughter, show your child the benefits of working hard and getting a good education.  We will be there for your child during the good times and the bad times, for always and forever.  And you will be giving us the greatest gift we could ever receive.  To you we will be eternally grateful. 

In the Beginning

We met through mutual friends and although we were nothing more than friends initially, our friendship quickly blossomed into a beautiful romance. Charles surprised Sydney with flowers and poems daily and Sydney doodled Charles' named over every piece of paper she could find while she was in school during the first few months of their relationship. We were both bitten by the love-bug bad!  During Sydney's last year of college, Charles proposed at a lake on bended knee. Sydney was thrilled and 6 months later the two love-birds were married at a nearby country club in Sydney's hometown. Sydney and Charles often tell people that they married their best friend.

About Us

For the first few years of marriage the two focused on having fun and on their budding careers. Charles is self employed and has always provided more than adequately for the family's material needs.  Sydney works at a lucrative company that allows her to work from home. Once the baby is born, Sydney plans to devote all of her time and attention to the baby as a stay-at-home mom taking the baby for walks around nearby lakes and to art museums and play dates with neighborhood friends. Sydney's parents live only a short drive away and are very eager to help out in any way that they can - although there's a good chance they're going to spoil their first grandchild completely rotten!

Charles grew up in on the west coast with his loving and gentle parents and 5 brothers and 1 sister!  He was an easygoing kid who loved to go fishing and play sports with his family.  His parents are thrilled about the idea of us adopting and can't wait to meet our new bundle of joy! Charles probably would have never moved from home state if it hadn't been for Sydney. But he could not take the long distance relationship - nor the insane telephone bills any more and decided to pack up everything he owned to drive cross country to live closer to the woman that he loved!  After living in North Carolina for awhile, Charles was confident that he wanted to ask Sydney to marry him.

Sydney was born up north but grew up in North Carolina as an eccentric, outgoing, only child. She was very artistic growing up and her parents showered her with love and attention. There were piano lessons and art lessons and Friday-Night-Kid-Sleepovers often.  As a child, Sydney often rounded up all the kids in the neighborhood and put on plays in her backyard. She had an exceptional childhood and she doesn't take it for granted. Sydney is eager to provide her own child with all of the wonderful experiences that she had growing up.

Our Home

We live in a lovely neighborhood full of little kids who love to stop by and talk to Sydney about their day at school while she is working in her garden. There is an incredible elementary school just in walking distance from our home.Our home is a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home that has a big backyard with a play area (thanks to the previous owners who had 3 kids), and lots of magical pathways for a child to explore on summer afternoons. We also have a game room with plenty of room to goof around in.  Friends often say that we have the perfect house for kids. 

Our Faith

Both of us were raised Christian and we intend on giving our baby a balanced and healthy religious upbringing. It is important to us that our baby has good morals and grows up to be a thoughtful and loving human being. We will not force religion on our child, though, as we recognize that religion should be something one gravitates to willingly. We do go to church regularly and have lots of friends at church eager to meet our new arrival.

For Fun

We love to do anything outdoors. Most days Sydney works in her gardens while Charles is nearby either mowing the grass or looking off from a front porch rocking chair in admiration. We love to go to a nearby lake to go canoeing on Sunday afternoons after church. We are always laughing or giggling, just enjoying being with each other. We also love to travel whether it is to the mountains on ski trips with family and friends or to the beach during the summer. Charlie really loves to go fishing with his buddies too. Sydney has converted a portion of her backyard greenhouse into an art space where she loves to work on her clay sculptures. She has furnished much of the home with her works of art including numerous paintings. 

About Adoption

We are a loving couple with kind hearts eager and ready to start a family now while we are young.  We truly believe we were meant to be parents. We have so much love to give and so many memories we want to make with a little baby that we can love forever. We can provide a loving environment where your child will grow and thrive creatively, emotionally, and spiritually.  If you choose us, everyday we would say a silent thank-you to you for making our greatest dream come true.
