Family<br />

My family has been extremely supportive of my plans to adopt<br />

all through this process. I dream of the day I can tell them that I<br />

have been entrusted by someone special to become a mother. I<br />

am often asked for updates on my adoption journey. I can’t wait<br />

to see the smiles on their faces when I can share news that I will<br />

be bringing home a new little one to join our big loving family!<br />

My three brothers; David, Robert and Pierre all live nearby. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

are all single with no children. My oldest brother Frank, lives in<br />

New Jersey with his wife and four children; Nicholas,<br />

Christopher, Angela, and Chase. Through the years he has<br />

become a best friend to me. I treasure the close relationships<br />

that I have with my niece and nephews. <strong>The</strong>y are all excited<br />

about welcoming a new baby cousin into our family.<br />

My father is a retired Episcopalian priest. He devoted his career<br />

to the church. He also has strong family values and imparted<br />

through his vocation and example, a sense of the importance of<br />

giving back to the community. Unfortunately, my parents<br />

divorced when I was twelve years old. While my father remained<br />

in our lives, my mother raised us alone. Her devotion and<br />

determination in raising me and my brothers has been an<br />

inspiration. She was a great role model for me.
