Why I Want to Adopt

Ever since I can remember I have always wanted to be a dad. I’ve had roommates in the past with children.  It was a great experience to be involved in their lives going to school events and field trips. I feel ready to be a parent. I hope to one day find that special person to share my life with, however being a father will always be my top priority. 

I chose open adoption after hearing a friend’s story of placing her baby for open adoption. After hearing from her the peace of mind knowing how her child was being raised gave her, I began looking into open adoption.  Now 10 years later, I’m ready to adopt.

There are so many things I want to do with my child I can’t name them all. I plan to be involved in activities that interest my child. I want him/her to always know that I love and support them. I look forward to playing games, camping, hiking and fishing with my child. I love to build and make things. I hope to pass this on to my child by showing them some of the things I love to do, such as drawing, cooking, woodworking and gardening.  I look forward to decorating for the holidays with my child and teaching him/her about each holiday.
