Hello there! We’re ChelseA and Kristina
We’re hoping to adopt!
Learn more about us by downloading and reading our adoption profile book.
We are high school sweethearts from the Jersey shore who always dreamed about starting a family together.
Our first date was spent talking, and eating ice cream on the boardwalk in a Jersey shore town. We had an instant connection and felt like old friends. Now, over thirteen years after our first date, we have built a beautiful life together. We both value family, focus on having open, kind communication with one another, and always take time to show each other that we care.
About Us
We knew that, as two women, we couldn’t start a family on our own.
We began our journey towards becoming parents with fertility treatments, but it turns out that was not the right path. We feel hopeful and excited to begin our adoption journey! We look forward to meeting our future child, loving them endlessly, nurturing them, and experiencing all their firsts. We have so many family members and friends who cannot wait to meet our future little one, too! Our future child will be surrounded by love, and we hope their first parent(s) will be part of their loving circle. We are hoping for an open adoption with our future child’s first family. We are honored that you are taking the time to learn more about us, and we hope to have the opportunity to learn more about you, too!
“We look forward to sharing our loving home with a child.”
Our Home and Families
We feel so lucky to live in our beautiful ranch-style home by the jersey shore and be surrounded by pristine beaches, amazing parks, and sprawling gardens.
There is something special about every season that we can’t wait to share with our future little one! We are also very fortunate to have a pool in our backyard, and not a day goes by in the summer that we don’t jump in! We can’t wait to share where we live and the things we love with our future child!
Your child will have a very devoted and involved extended family.
Most of Chelsea’s family lives nearby in New Jersey. Her mom, Lisa, lives less than ten minutes away, and she will be a huge part of our future child’s life as Grandma. Many of Tina’s extended family members live in Virginia and North Carolina. Her mom, Elissa, and stepdad, Alan, (who are already Nana and Papa to two beautiful grandchildren from Tina’s step sister) live on a large lake. We visit twice a year, once in the summer and once in the winter for a holiday celebration that we call “Thanksmas” because it is usually in early December.

In Closing
We want to take the time to thank you for reading this far and getting to know a bit about us.
We are grateful, humbled, and excited for what may be. We are truly looking forward to becoming parents. We promise to provide your child a life filled with unconditional love, kindness, acceptance, adventure, and laughter. Our goal would be that your child will always feel loved, important and cherished.

We sincerely hope for an open adoption and would love for you to have involvement in your child’s life, if that is something you are comfortable with. Our hearts would always be open to you, and your child would always know the love that went into the decision to place them for adoption. We wish you all the best along your journey.
