Alicia and David
We're looking to adopt a baby
Hello, we are Alicia and David. We want to thank you for reading our profile and offering us the opportunity to show you who we are. We imagine that this must be a difficult decision for you, and we only hope that you choose what is suitable for you and your child.
We met at an art gallery in 2007. We were both admiring the same painting and began a conversation about the artist and his work. Later that evening, we went out for dinner together. That was the beginning of us. We were not yet settled in our careers, but we quickly knew that we wanted to spend our lives together.
We both finished our degrees a few years later and moved in together in 2009. While traveling through Europe in January 2013, we decided to get married. It was perhaps one of the happiest moments in our lives when we decided together that it was the right time. We were married in the summer of 2013 in a private ceremony in Chicago and have been together since then. We are devoted to each other’s happiness and well-being. We share our hopes and dreams with each other, have an incredible friendship, and an equally strong marriage.
We have never considered having a biological child, as we have always known that adoption was the way for us. Our dream was to be settled in our careers with stability and a strong partnership and then adopt a child. We are at that place now and are very excited about embracing a new life as parents.
