Hello from New York!
Our names are Tyler and Peter, and we are so grateful that you are reading about us. We hope that it gives you a chance to learn about us, our values and our hopes for becoming parents. We are so excited and ready to be dads and would feel privileged to talk to you, get to know you and hear about your hopes and dreams for your baby’s future.
We realize that you are facing what might feel like an overwhelming decision. Although we cannot fully comprehend what it feels like to be in your situation, we want you to know that we respect and support you, and that whatever you decide to do, we want what’s best for you. We realize that deciding to make an adoption plan is incredibly difficult and want to say how deeply thankful we are to be considered as potential adoptive parents.
It takes a huge amount of strength, courage and unconditional, selfless love to make an adoption plan for a baby. We are so happy to meet you (even if only through this letter to start) and are looking forward to getting to know you!
Best of both worlds – New York City and Connecticut country home
We are a loving, happy and married couple, aged 34 and 38. We live in a safe, lively, beautiful neighborhood in New York City.
Although we live right in the center of all that NYC has to offer, our street is quiet, with lots of trees and beautiful old buildings. We own our New York City home. It’s spacious and just waiting for a child to grow up in. We have a private roof deck, where we enjoy hanging out in the sun and doing a little flower gardening right in the middle of the city. You can even see the Empire State Building if you crane your neck just right! We’re lucky to have a great space to bring a child into - our home is bright and open and our neighbors are really friendly and relaxed.
We are looking forward to bringing up a child in one of the most exciting and diverse cities in the world. The schools in our neighborhood are fantastic. We live a block from a great park with slides and swings - it’s always packed with kids. There’s a wonderful bookstore down the block with a great kids book section, and we’re just a few minutes’ walk away from the High Line Park and the beautiful Hudson River. There are restaurants from every part of the world on our doorstep, and exciting theater, live music, and fun museums (and the Harry Potter experience!)
Our neighborhood and New York City has so many wonderful and exciting things to offer a child and we’d be so thrilled to make sure a child gets to take advantage of all the city has to offer while growing up in a really friendly and safe neighborhood.
We also own a home in rural Connecticut, a place we love going on weekends and holidays. We both grew up in the country and having a place to enjoy time outdoors is something we really value. Our place is in a beautiful woodland setting - it would be such a fun place for a child to play and explore.
When we’re in the country, we love spending as much time outside as possible, whether eating dinner on the porch or going on bike rides and hikes, including on a section of the Appalachian Trail that runs right near the house. We are excited to give a child a chance to experience life outside NYC and to enjoy time in a wonderful small town setting, with great local swimming holes and a friendly, comfortable vibe.
Our careers
Peter is an editor at a publishing company and is passionate about books and writers. He is constantly bringing home new books and would be excited to share his love for reading with a child. When we spend time with our friends' children, he almost always ends up reading them a book. Peter has always dreamed about becoming a dad.
Tyler is a lawyer working in finance. Law is a great profession and he loves the interesting projects he gets to work on all around the world. He’s always felt so sure that becoming a very involved and doting father was something he wanted and was meant to be.
We both have flexibility in our jobs and work from home for most of the week.
How we met and our wedding
We have been a couple for fourteen years and married for almost nine years. We met at Oxford University, in England, where Peter was studying Russian and German and Tyler was studying for a Masters degree in Chinese Studies. We fell for each other super quickly, and couldn’t get enough time together right from the start.
After we’d been together for five years, we were ready to take the next step and get married. We both felt so sure that marriage was an important way to mark our commitment and our love. We got married in 2013 in a small (but beautiful and emotional!) ceremony at City Hall in New York with our families.
