My wife and I are both teachers, published writers and I have awards in art as well as multiple art publications and in magazines. My wife also writes for a local newspaper. I am a Notary Public, a landlord. We are both license BHPs. She teaches college writing and I teach art at Adult Ed. We own a house in Maine and live with a couple of kitties one 9lbs dog who thinks she is a cat and fish. I we respect our veterans, love our U.U. Church Community, love music and I am a member of an Aboriginal tribe from Tobique NB called Maliseet. I’m also part Amerisee, which is one of the lost tribes of Maine and Scots-Irish, while she is Irish. So we are not only LGBT but interracial. This child will not lack love, stability or open-minded acceptance for differences and will always know unconditional acceptance. We were going to go through an adoption agency, but beyond the issues of ethical practices and terrible human trafficking and other such situations that we are terrified to accidentally support, we are not also not rich and though we can afford to raise a child just fine and we have a business and home to pass on when we are gone, the up front costs of adoption are just terrible. It would be one thing if that money went to their college education or something, but it feels much too much like buying and selling children and has really kind of freaked us out. We just want to give a child a loving family and home. We don’t want to be scammed. Adoption agencies aren’t not obligated to promote you to families and we are LGBT. I keep hearing horror stories of agencies stringing along LGBT with no intention of of helping them start their family while they bleed their funds dry or they give up and go on their way. I am 40 years old. My wife is 35. Our state JUST made it illegal to discriminate, so adoption really just became available to us and we’ve almost aged out of adopting a newborn. I think older is better because we already have things like a stable home, careers and we’ve had years experience working with children. My wife was even a teacher at the Montessori school. I worked with child who have MR or ASD. So I really feel those experiences have given tools to handle many different roads life might take a person down while raising a kid. We will have a lawyer for the process. We will be paying for home study and for filling all the legal requirements for adoption in our state. We are looking for a closed adoption, but we are open to the child contacting after age 18 and sending updates occasionally. Both the mother AND the father will have to sign for the adoption (Maine State Law). We are not open to co-parenting. There will need to be a court date and signing (also required by state law) and we will cover travel for that and legal fees (the law requires the adopting parents to cover legal expenses). We are very honest people. We are hoping to find someone who truly just wants a good home for their baby. Oh and on the health questions, I don’t have any of the illnesses on there except diabetes, but it asks for my family history. The cancer my uncle had is not genetic. The heart condition was my grandfather and it was a birth defect and he’s the only one who’s ever had it, I have a mild mobility impairment but I guess if I can harden, mow my lawn, walk three miles up a mountain and build two apartments, nothing is really going to stop me. 😂 We have letters of recommendation and a mile long and my wife has zero health problems and no family history health problems. So we have a safe recipient of my history makes someone uncomfortable. My doctor will easily sign off for me if that helps. If we sound like we might be what you are looking for, than we might make a good match. Contact us and let’s talk on here. We don’t plan on any conversations off of this website so please don’t ask. 🙏🏽🙂
