INTRODUCTION

Hello! We’re Curt and Gina!

It is difficult to express the joy we feel as we fulfill our greatest wish of becoming parents, while also expressing our heartfelt gratitude for you and your courageous decision. Thank you for your consideration and taking the time to learn more about us, as we feel blessed to share our story with you and express how thoroughly excited we are to start a family through adoption. 

Our Chicago home is filled with love, laughter, good food and puppy dog kisses, and we would be honored to welcome your baby into our lives forever.

about us

We found each other through online dating.

We dated for a bit, but neither of us were ready to commit. However, we remained friends. As our friendship grew over the next year, we had fallen in love with each other. In Gina, Curt found that magical blend of love and friendship. And Gina’s heart melts every time Curt looks at her and smiles. We share the same morals and values and share our commitment to long-term friends who are more like family.

One winter day, as the snow was falling, Curt asked Gina to come outside with him to play with the puppy and enjoy a cup of hot cocoa. While we were laughing and playing in the snow, Curt got down on one knee and asked Gina to marry him. We both wanted to get married right away in an intimate setting with just the two of us. It was a beautiful continuation of a perfect love story. Gina often finds herself saying “lucky me”- lucky to have found someone to accept her past, support her present and love her enough to encourage her future and their future together!! Curt’s response is always, “no, lucky us.”

We have created a home that is our happy place, we are ready to share our lives and embark on new adventures with a little one.

oN ADOPTION

Creating a family through adoption has always been our “Plan A”.

Curt was adopted as a newborn and was raised in an open and loving environment where adoption was discussed. This experience has led him to his own adoption journey, where he hopes to fulfill his strong desire to become “daddy.” We hope after reading this you feel the enthusiasm, love and unmistakable passion we have towards being parents. We are looking forward to hearing from you and the dreams and hopes you have for your baby. We wish you the best as you walk this difficult journey.

our home and Community

We live in a safe Chicago community.

We are super close to the hustle and bustle of downtown and the bike paths and beaches of Lake Michigan. Our home is walking distance to a large park with an outdoor swimming pool, which is where we imagine we’ll spend a lot of time with all the rest of the kids in our area. We love the Forest Preserve nearby with winding trails and plenty of wildlife – not something you’d imagine so close to a big city. Because we both love the snow so much, the sledding hill is a family favorite!! We are so fortunate to live on a block with neighbors that have become close friends. We love our house that has become our home. Our basement has become a cozy oasis that resembles a ski lodge, and Curt’s backyard grill is often times serving up hotdogs and hamburgers for friends and family. 

Our home is a place where all are welcome, and we continue to look forward to the memories that are created.
