Mike and Alexandra
We're looking to adopt a baby
Hello, we are Mike and Alexandra! We are excited to share our story with you. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us as prospective parents.
We met through an online dating website in 2010 after noticing our families both had the same breed of dog, an Airedale Terrier. Our first date was dinner and a movie; we saw “Shutter Island.” Three years and many dates later, Mike proposed at the same theater where we first met, a total surprise! We were married in August of 2014. We are best friends and feel so lucky to be able to spend our lives with each other, throughout both the difficult moments and the joyful ones.
After being married for a few years, we discovered it was possible that any biological child we had might be born with a potentially serious health condition. We decided not to have children of our own and to pursue adoption. We are so excited to adopt a little one and start the journey of growing our family through adoption.
Financial Support
Expectant mothers who choose to make an adoption plan may qualify for some level of financial assistance during their pregnancy. However, each person's situation and specific needs are different. Your adoption social worker can help you determine what level of assistance you qualify for and deserve. Many expectant mothers qualify for financial assistance to cover basic pregnancy and living expenses, including but not limited to - transportation reimbursement, utility assistance for phone, water, and electricity/gas, maternity clothing and supplements, etc.
CONTACT USFood & Groceries
Navigating a pregnancy alone is never easy. Depending on your situation and location, you may qualify for financial assistance to help cover the cost of basic living expenses, such as food and groceries.
Medical Expenses
Receiving quality medical care during your pregnancy is vital to both your health and the health of your baby. If you choose to place your baby for adoption, all of your pregnancy-related medical expenses will be covered by the adoptive family.
Rent & Utilities
Women who choose to place their baby for adoption may receive financial assistance to help cover the cost of rent and utilities. If you feel that you'll need some help with these costs, it's important to talk to your adoption social worker about it early in the process.
Household Items
In order to have a healthy pregnancy, it's important that you have everything you need to lead a healthy lifestyle. The cost of some household items may be covered during your pregnancy.
Counseling
Placing a baby for adoption is a loving but incredibly challenging decision. Many women experience a range of emotions during this time and find that counseling is very helpful.
Transportation
If you need assistance with transportation, your adoption social worker can help you find the best solution. You may be eligible for help with transportation costs.
