Hi there! We are Aysha & Bradley

We are grateful for the chance to share who we are and the love that fills our home. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us and for considering us in such a meaningful decision. We have deep respect for the strength, courage, and love it takes to consider adoption, and we are truly honored to be here. 

As you read our story and look through our photos, we hope you get a genuine sense of who we are. We value family, connection, and approaching life with curiosity and gratitude. Our home is filled with warmth, laughter, and  the support of family and friends who would love a child wholeheartedly.

If you were to choose us, we promise a safe, nurturing home where a child is encouraged to be themselves and  always know how deeply they are loved.

How it all began

We met in 2019 on a blind Bumble date that immediately felt right. Early on, Brad shared that he was an ESL teacher, just like Aysha’s mom. When we realized he worked in the same district and even knew of her, the world felt a little smaller and put us both at ease. Eight months later, we were married and excited to begin building our life together.

Marrying later in life allowed us to bring strong identities and shared values into our relationship. We love beach  days, scenic drives, exploring New England, and celebrating holidays with family and friends. Brad feels most at home outdoors, while Aysha loves cities and cozy stays, and together we have blended both.

We hope to be parents who bring a child along on life’s adventures, sharing curiosity, learning, and connection.

Home and Family

Our home is filled with history, warmth, and room to grow.

We love our home, built in 1722 and full of character. Aysha began restoring it in 2016, and when Brad joined her, we continued the renovations together. It has plenty of shared spaces where we gather, read, and spend time together, along with outdoor space to enjoy nature. Our Portuguese Water Dog, Duncan, is a loving and gentle part of our family and especially adores children. We believe this is a wonderful place for a child to grow, feel connected, and feel at home.

Family is at the heart of everything we do. Both of our families are close, supportive, and deeply involved in our lives. Aysha’s parents live nearby and are a steady source of love and encouragement, while Brad’s family is warm, welcoming, and closely connected. Our families have blended easily into one loving group, and time together is filled with laughter, conversation, and care.

In Closing

Thank you for taking the time to learn about us and for considering us as part of your journey.

We know this decision is deeply personal and made with immense love and courage, and we respect the strength it takes to explore adoption. If chosen, your child will grow up in a home filled with warmth, stability, laughter, and unwavering support, surrounded by family and friends who already cannot wait to love them. We will honor their story, speak openly about adoption, and make sure they always know how deeply they are loved by both you and us. Our hope is to raise a child who feels secure, celebrated for who they are, and free to become fully themselves. Whatever you decide, we are grateful you took the time to get to know our hearts and our home, and we are wishing you peace as you make the decision that feels right for you and your child.
