We’re Andra & Sam, we’re so grateful to meet you!

We can only imagine how emotional this journey may be, and we want to acknowledge your strength in exploring options for your baby. Adoption holds a very special place in our hearts – Andra was adopted from South Korea and was raised in a loving, supportive family. Her experience shaped our shared desire to grow our family through adoption. We know we can’t fully understand what you’re experiencing, but we are honored by the chance to connect. Whatever path you choose, we hope you feel supported, respected, and seen.

Thank you again for taking this moment to consider us — we hope our profile gives you a sense of who we are and the life and love we hope to share with your baby.

Our Story

We met at work nine years ago and quickly became friends, bonding over coffee, our love of family, food, animals, and travel.

In 2021 we were married surrounded by our closest family and friends. Our relationship is built on balance, laughter, and mutual respect. Our belief is that family is defined by love, commitment, and opportunity and we see adoption as a beautiful way to grow our family and honor the power it has to change lives. In our free time, we love spending time with family and friends, and traveling to new places to experience different cultures. We also love relaxing at home with our dog, Josie, planning weekend movie nights, and finding new recipes to cook together.

Home sweet home!

Our home is full of character, light, and love.

We have three finished floors and three bedrooms, giving us plenty of space to grow as a family. We’ve loved making it our own and are especially excited to turn one of our guest rooms into a nursery. We look forward to creating lifelong memories with a child here.

We live in a safe, friendly, and diverse neighborhood that truly feels like a community. It’s welcoming and walkable with parks, schools, and families all around us. Our neighbors are kind and generous and have become a part of our extended support network. It’s a loving, accepting environment where we hope our child will always feel a strong sense of belonging.

In Closing

We are so grateful you took the time to learn more about us and our lives.

We hope you can feel the love and intention we would bring to parenting. If given the honor of becoming parents, we promise to nurture your child’s individuality, celebrate their story, and support them as they grow into who they are meant to be. We would speak about you with love, respect, and gratitude, and surround them with a strong, supportive community of family and friends. We recognize the strength it takes to explore this path, and we hold deep respect and gratitude for you and your journey. No matter what you decide, thank you for this moment and for considering us.
