Hi there, we are Pat and Jordan! We’re thrilled to begin the adoption process and are so grateful for your taking the time to learn more about us and our excitement for fatherhood.

Our connection began in 2013 at Jordan’s housewarming party, a few days after he had moved to Baltimore and settled into a house with some of Pat's friends. An introduction made by a mutual friend turned into a night of staying up until 3am discovering common interests and shared experiences, like our love of musicals and having volunteered abroad after college, swapping family stories, and sharing hopes for our future, including marriage and families of our own. Feeling a sense of connection and comfort, we dove deep fast with one another, a trait that continues to strengthen and inform our relationship to this day.

Nearly four years later, our friends and family gathered in Baltimore for our wedding day, held at a historic city arboretum and garden. It was another joyous moment in our relationship and a step towards the start of our own family. Since that first night of conversation, we’ve discussed adoption as our path toward building a family. It’s a great honor to be considered as prospective parents and we look forward to the day we welcome a beautiful child into our home through open adoption.
