We are truly honored that you would consider us to be your child&#8217;s adoptive family.  We are Megan and Patrick, a married couple of nearly 5 years currently living in Tanzania, East Africa.  We met during college orientation in 2013 and have been together ever since.  Patrick works as a diplomat, and his career affords us the amazing opportunity to live and work in beautiful countries all around the world.  As a globe-trotting couple, we are ready for any adventure life offers, and we believe parenting will be our most extraordinary adventure yet.  <\/p>\n<p>We are strongly in favor of an Open Adoption and want you to be as much a part of your child&#8217;s life as you&#8217;d like to be.  You will forever hold a special place as your child&#8217;s first family, and we want them to know who they come from.  We promise that your child will grow up knowing how much you love them; we promise to treat your story with respect; and we promise to share pictures and stories of your child&#8217;s milestones so you can share in the joy of watching them grow.  <\/p>\n<p>About Megan<\/p>\n<p>Megan was born and raised in a small town in Pennsylvania with one younger sister and many cousins who feel like siblings.  Megan loves reading, singing, baking chocolate chip cookies, and spending time with friends.  As a huge animal lover, Megan can often be found snuggling our two cats, Lily and Fluffer.  Megan&#8217;s family has many cherished holiday traditions-including carving jack-o-lanterns, watching the Macy&#8217;s Thanksgiving Day Parade together, and wearing matching Christmas pajamas-which she looks forward to continuing with our children.  Megan believes a good cup of coffee can make anywhere feel like home.  Some of her most fond memories are at her grandma&#8217;s kitchen table, playing games while enjoying a fresh pot of coffee.<\/p>\n<p>About Patrick<\/p>\n<p>Patrick was born and raised in Pennsylvania.  The youngest of three children, he has an older brother and a twin sister.  Patrick is passionate about education, and his dream job is to be an economics professor or an admissions counselor at a university.  At home, you can usually find Patrick crocheting &#8211; a skill his Great Grandmother passed down when Patrick was 7 years old, and one he can&#8217;t wait to pass down to our kids too.  Patrick loves to play piano, trumpet, and sing.  Our house is always filled with the sound of music, and we can&#8217;t wait to form our own family band with pots and pans.<\/p>\n<p>In time, we would love to get to know you better, and to hear your story, as well.  We are incredibly grateful for you, and we wish you all the very best.<\/p>\nWith love,<br \/>\nMegan and Patrick\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
