Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I understand that considering adoption for your baby is a big decision. My name is Danielle. I have quite a few friends that have adopted and hope to become a mom through adoption myself. I have always dreamed of being a mother and cannot wait to create memories and share all life’s beautiful moments with a child. I still remember the one Christmas my grandma stayed up all night knitting my cabbage patch doll a green sweater and matching hat for his bald head.

I reside in Long Island, New York. My neighborhood is a culturally diverse community in a safe and friendly town. I believe my secure and loving home would make a wonderful place for a child to grow up. I am fortunate to have wonderful relationships with my parents, sister, extended family, and friends.

I am a creative individual with a career as a Senior Graphic Designer. In college, I studied fine arts and animation. I also work part time as an online graphic design adjunct professor, and I love seeing my students flourish. I have a flexible and remote job that will allow me to be home with this child until they are ready for pre-school. My family lives locally and will be actively involved in the child’s life as well.

As a mother I prioritize love, health, security, education, curiosity, and good values in my parenting approach. I have always wanted to be a mother and intend to provide my child with all the best things in life. If you choose me with the responsibility of raising your child, I will treasure this gift forever.

I am the youngest of two daughters. My parents raised my sister and myself with immense love and support. My parents have been married for 52 years and still live in my childhood home. I have a very close-knit family. I have a large extended family and am 1 of 21 first cousins on my mother’s side. My father’s side is smaller, and I have three first cousins. I have a close relationship with my extended family.

It has always been a dream of mine to become a mom. My family and friends are all excited about me looking to adopt a child. This child will be showered with love, support, and guidance. My mom is looking forward to reading and rocking the baby as well as crocheting blankets and toys for him or her, as he or she grows older taking her grandchild to the park or the beach. My dad is so excited to have a grandchild to play with and once he or she gets older to taking him or her out for ice cream. Aunt Denise cannot wait to celebrate her niece or nephew’s first Christmas with them. It will be so special to see their excitement for all the presents that will be received. My golden retriever, Bailey absolutely loves kids and would love a brother or sister to cuddle and play with. This child would be a great gift to our family and a true blessing. Any child that joins our family will be welcomed and loved.

I take advantage of the local amenities. I enjoy going into NYC and seeing a Broadway show, movie in the park, a concert, an art museum or visiting a new restaurant. It is always great to visit Manhattan during Christmas time. I also enjoy being active and go to the gym regularly. I start my mornings out walking my dog. I love getting out in nature in my free time. When the weather is nice, I spend time going to the beach, kayaking, and gardening. I also enjoy a nice fall day out east visiting the farms and small towns by the water. Travelling on vacation and learning about other cultures is a favorite pastime of mine. I like cooking/baking and am known for my homemade pies and holiday cookies that everyone waits for during the holiday season.

I live in a suburban newly renovated single-family home which I designed myself picking out everything from the floors to the doorknobs. I live in a quiet family orientated neighborhood and next door to my sister. My parents live just down the road. I have great neighbors that are friendly and always willing to help each other out. I have a love for animals and will always have a pet in my home. I currently have a golden retriever who loves playing with kids. I have a fenced backyard that is great for a child to play in. There is also a park within walking distance from my home. I am truly blessed to live in an area that has a variety of experiences and activities.
