Scott and Shana

Thank you for considering us to be not just a huge part of your child’s life, but also part of yours. We’re looking forward to learning more about you. Here’s a little bit about us.

 

We are Scott and Shana, and we goof around a lot! We have a lot of laughter in our household, whether we’re chasing our Boston Terrier, Manny,  around or making an attempt at trying a new recipe (our poor smoke detectors!), we appreciate each other and enjoy small moments. 

 

The driving force behind us wanting to adopt is that we both love spending time with our extended family. It’s not unusual for us to spend a weekend at Shana’s family’s house eating too much pasta and drinking more coffee than is healthy, then going to Scott’s family’s home in the mountains for several days. We spend a lot of time with nieces and nephews, parents and siblings, even traveling with them on occasion. Having our own child become a part of our family is what we envision for our future. 

 

We met nearly 20 years ago at Bowling Green State University, and we’ve been together since. We’ve been through a lot together, and it has made our relationship even stronger. 

 

By day, Scott is a middle school teacher in an inner city school district. He does everything he can to help his students succeed, grow, and have an empathetic male figure in their lives. 

 

By night, he is a songwriter and rock musician. He writes, plays, and records music. 

 

By day, Shana is a self-employed digital marketer. She works from home and enjoys the flexibility of her work. By night, she is a competitive pinball player. She plays in local, national, and international tournaments and leagues, and has a supportive community of pinball playing friends.

 

Together, we make a great team.

 

As parents, we are looking forward to helping our child grow and make new discoveries, and being patient and supportive of them throughout life. We plan on traveling together, often going to the mountains and a family friend’s farm. We will teach them how to be kind but set boundaries, and how to create connections and relationships. Our open and affirming church and pastor will help us teach our child love and acceptance of others. Education and reading are very important to us, but nothing is as important to us as the child knowing they are loved unconditionally, no matter what, always. 

 

We will spend every moment possible with our child. Shana will stay at home with the child during the day and work on projects when convenient to do so, and Scott has summers off to spend with the family. 

 

We hope we have the opportunity to speak to you to see if we’re a good fit for parenting your baby. Thank you for considering us.
