Christopher and Billy
Hello, it's so nice to meet you!
We’re honored you’re taking the time to get to know us a little bit. We hope that the following pages give you a small glimpse into who we are as a couple and why a baby would be an amazing addition to our family.
On our first date, we talked about how important it was for us to be fathers. It was frankly a non-negotiable thing. We hope that you can see in these pages that we are travel enthusiasts, family-oriented, and we, along with our adorable Frenchie Sol, can’t wait to welcome your baby home.
We can't pretend to know what you're going through right now, but we know you are braver than any woman we've known. We want you to know that we're here with open arms and open hearts.
We are committed to making our home and hearts the perfect place for your baby.

adoption our heart for
Becoming parents is something that we both have always dreamed of.
Our journey to having a family has had many twists and turns and we chose adoption because our hearts opened up to expanding our family through love. While neither of us come from adoptive backgrounds, the idea intrigued us to explore more. Our decision wasn't sparked by a single event but by a series of moments leading to the realization that family is defined by love, not biology. There is a lot of love in our home and we know it’ll grow.
We're filled with anticipation and excitement for this journey, knowing it will fulfill our dreams of parenthood and bring immeasurable joy into our lives.
We believe there is no greater gift than love and want you to know how much it means to us that you’re reading this. Because of your decision, two guys like us have the opportunity to become fathers and grow our family.

Billy is one of the most adventurous and tenacious people you will ever meet!
AS TOLD BY CHRISTOPHER
Every day, Billy reminds me that tomorrow is an opportunity to do more, to be better, and to ask myself, “What’s next?”. Billy’s love of life rubs off on everyone, and I can’t imagine spending my life without him. Billy is an amazing friend, son, uncle, husband, and soon-to-be dad. He makes traveling fun, smiling just at the thought of a new city to explore or distance to cross. He loves me in a way I haven’t felt before, and he shows that by humoring my obsession with musicals, cooking us fancy meals, and letting me pick the movie we watch. Billy also accepted my French Bulldog as the king of the castle and has grown to love him more than I could have imagined. Given the opportunity, I know that he will love our future baby and share with them all that life has to offer. Plus, he can’t wait to decorate a nursery; I imagine he already has a Pinterest board that he hasn’t shared with anyone!

AS TOLD BY BILLY
Christopher has an incredible passion for food, musical theater, Harry Potter, his family, the occasional tennis game, and his self-proclaimed amazing French Bulldog, Sol. He works hard, always putting his all into anything he does. Christopher is a very patient, nurturing and giving individual who always has time for others. He is especially good at problem-solving when unexpected things arise. Christopher is always available when I need a warm embrace. Christopher is admired by everyone who knows him.
I am so happy he has become my travel buddy and to go through life with him every second of every day.
Christopher is patient, caring and dedicated to making the most out of life.
homesweet home
Our home is nestled in a quaint neighborhood in Uptown Charlotte. We feel continually blessed to be surrounded by this phenomenal neighborhood that perfectly blends urban life with a charming, cozy atmosphere.
We moved to this incredibly family friendly neighborhood 5 years ago and through a renovation we made this house a home that is open to all and filled with love. We have 3 bedrooms and we have already planned out which one will be your baby's room! We imagine quiet evenings spent here, surrounded by friends and future family in our inviting space. We understand how much children learn and grow through play, we live a quick walk away from 3 amazing parks filled with swings and playgrounds for all.
One great thing about living here is that we are within walking distance a wonderful children’s theater, library, and science center. We are also just down the road from several great schools where we hope your child will flourish. We look forward to walking with your child, stopping by our neighbors' homes, and enjoying the frequent neighborhood events like the easter egg hunt and Halloween parade. We can't wait to fill these walls with the laughter and love of a growing family, making memories that will last a lifetime.
our pupSol!
Sol came into Christopher’s world when he was a 7 week old, hyper, stubborn, and adventurous little French Bulldog. He immediately became Christopher’s favorite “person” in the world, and this fixation has lasted every day for the last 8.5 years. When Billy came into the picture almost 6 years ago, it was love at first sight, or at least for Sol.
Sol joins us on many adventures and is happy doing just about anything as long as he’s with the two of us. This “pup” loves to meet new people as he quietly waits for a snack, he’ll join us on a 5 mile hike without even breathing heavily, or he’s happy to cuddle up on the couch and snore for hours.
Sol is an important part of our little family, and we can’t wait to see how he grows into a big brother. He’s been around many of our friends’ kids, and he does really well, especially around snack time; Sol fully believes that if a kid gets a raspberry and a bite of a cheese stick, he should get the same. This little guy is full of energy and love, we know Sol will love the little life we’re lucky enough to bring home.
