Stephen and Rachel
We're looking to adopt a baby
Hello!
We’re so excited to share our family with you! After considering adoption for a few years, we are thrilled to begin this journey.
We’re Stephen and Rachel. We live in Eastern New York and love hiking, dancing, going on adventures and working on our home. Our favorite activities include spending time with our friends and family and our pets, and we believe strongly in social justice and fighting for the well-being of all people.
We have always wanted to adopt a child and can’t wait to guide them through life’s adventures. With so much love to share, and with the love and support of friends, family, and each other we know we can make it through all of life's challenges. We can offer your child a safe and stable home full of love, music and laughter.
We hope that this profile serves as a glimpse into our lives and allows you to learn more about us. These are just the highlights and, if you are interested, we’d love the opportunity to speak with you to tell you more about us.
Financial Support

Your adoption social worker can help you determine what level of assistance you qualify for and deserve. Many expectant mothers qualify for financial assistance to cover basic pregnancy and living expenses, including but not limited to - transportation reimbursement, utility assistance for phone, water, and electricity/gas, maternity clothing and supplements, etc.

Navigating a pregnancy alone is never easy. Depending on your situation and location, you may qualify for financial assistance to help cover the cost of basic living expenses, such as food and groceries.
