ThankYou
Thank you so much for reviewing our profile and taking the time to get to know us. We are Will and Billy, and we would be honored and humbled to be a part of your adoption plan. Since we first met, we have always wanted children and felt adoption was the best path for us and we are ready to grow our family. Our family values are rooted in love, kindness, empathy, and adventure. While we can never put ourselves in your shoes, we can promise to partner with you with compassion and support. We are so thankful for your consideration.
We hope this profile book will give you a glimpse into our lives, who we are, family traditions, and values. Thank you again and hope to hear from you soon!
Will&Billy
OurStory
We met in the early days of online app dating. During our first date, listening to a local blues band, we spoke about our love for good food, movies and most importantly the desire to build a family. We instantly clicked and soon moved in together and then bought our first home. Flash forward 9 years, a cat and dog later, we are now married and are ready to grow our family.
Will is as pediatric speech language therapist working with students in a local school district. Billy is a personal injury attorney working in the city.
In our free time, we enjoy cooking new recipes at home (ever searching for the balance of healthy and tasty) while also exploring new restaurants in the area. We enjoy getting outdoors to hike with our dog and recently began checking a few National Parks off our list. We enjoy seeing our families and close friends frequently to celebrate birthdays, special occasions and holidays. No week is complete without coffee, tea, a good book, and a binge worthy TV show.

One of the first photos I saw of Will was of him playing with his niece and nephews on the back deck of his parents house. Since then, we have spent many, many hours on that deck with our Family. Will is patient, deliberate, and kind He weaves chaos into order and brings organization to our life (which I desperately need and am grateful for).
These qualities, in addition to his daily routine of working with children at work, are what I appreciate about him and what I believe will make him an incredible parent.
About Will, by Billy Work
I am a pediatric speech and language therapist that specializes in working with toddlers and school age children with speech, language, and communication needs. I chose this career path because it gives me the opportunity to support children and their families as they grow and develop. This career has also given me a deeper understanding of child development, methods of parenting and ways to foster a child’s growth and development.
About Billy, by Will
During one of our first dates, Billy expressed his desire to build a family. Billy is always thinking about others and showing his love and kindness through thoughtful messages, gifts, and conversations.
People gravitate towards Billy because he is thoughtful, caring, and has the best sense of humor. He addresses all situations with logic as well as common sense, but also with love and compassion. As a parent, Billy will put his whole heart into giving his family the love, support, and those little moments that turn into lifelong memories.
Work
I am a personal injury attorney representing individuals who have been harmed due to another’s negligence. This career is my childhood dream come true. Every day I get to help people in a very difficult time in their lives. I love my work; it is challenging and rewarding.

OurHome&Pets
We own and live in a single family home on a quiet tree lined street We live in a desirable suburb of Pennsylvania. Our community is best described as accepting and family friendly with a diverse number of family programs and opportunities including local libraries, museums, parks, and playgrounds. Our school district consistently places in the top tier of ranked districts in the area, state, and country.
Our home is cozy and comfortable. We spend most of our time in our den where we read, watch TV, and catch up after a long day Our future nursery is located on the second floor next to our bedroom We have a larger backyard and deck that is ideal for spending time outdoors. Our street holds an annual block party in the summer and is perfect for trick or treating.
We have two pets: a dog and an cat. Our dog, Jack, is a three year old golden retriever. Jack is a gentle dog who enjoys laying around during the day and going on walks when we get home from work. We also have a senior cat, Jamison We adopted Jamison from Will’s late sister Jamison spends his days napping and will find his way onto your lap in the evenings.
Family&Traditions
We have a big family. Will has two older sisters, both with children of their own. Billy is the eldest of four boys who are also beginning to build their own families. We are fortunate to be able to visit our families frequently as both are within driving distance of our home. Each month, our families get together for BBQs, picnics, holiday celebrations, and special occasions.
Billy is serious about holidays. Growing up, the best day of his year was spent with his Grandparents on Christmas Eve. Billy has taken that lesson and ensures that every holiday is celebrated to the fullest. We host an annual Halloween Party with Billy’s brothers which include themed foods and favors, games, and of course a spooky movie. Our families cherish these special moments full of laughter, stories and excitement. Will’s family has a Welsh tradition of lighting a burning a bayberry candle around the holidays to foster good luck and fortune for the year ahead.
Both of our families plan annual summer vacations to the beach. We look forward to these trips as they are a time for us to spend time on the beach reading, swimming with our nephews and nieces, and laughing with our siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
