We met in 1998 while we were both working for the same company in Santa Clara, California. It did not take long before we both realized we were meant to be together. In 2000, we made the next step in our commitment to one another and flew to Hawaii to have our commitment ceremony. We have an amazing loving relationship based on trust and mutual respect, along with honest open communication and friendship.
We truly enjoy each other’s company and after 10 years still cannot wait to come home at the end of the day to talk about our day’s events. As parents, we will nurture our child’s self-esteem and dreams to be anything he or she wants to be. We will be compassionate and understanding and will provide the finest education possible. OUR HOME We live in a beautiful home on a cul-de-sac in Phoenix Arizona, where Denise was born and raised. We are surrounded by views of the mountains. We share our home with three wonderful dogs: Rocky, Oshi, and Moto. Our neighborhood is filled with children and many community activities. We enjoy gardening in our backyard and having family barbeques. OUR INTERESTS
Denise is the most fun-loving, compassionate, and caring woman I have ever met. I know that she is my soul mate. Denise is always there whenever I need a smile, and her encouragement makes me feel like I can do anything. She has a great sense of humor, which leads to much laughter in our house. I know Denise will make a phenomenal mother as I have watched her interact with all of the babies in the family with the utmost in patience, understanding and, most importantly, love. Denise always makes time to go see her nephews’ and nieces’ school events like baseball and drama and participates with them in watching their favorite football team. I can already picture Denise rocking our child to sleep and reading many bedtime stories using funny voices. Dawn, a gregarious extrovert, is an amazing, compassionate, and giving woman. She has a natural ability to care for people, especially children, and has even volunteered at the local hospice. I knew from the first day I met her at work that she was going to make a positive change in my life. Watching Dawn play with our nieces and nephews, I know that she is going to make not only a wonderful mother for our child but a great teacher. Dawn ensures there is no favoritism amongst the kids by including everyone in gifts or games. She always encourages them to try their best no matter what skill level they’re at. During family gatherings, Dawn will always set time aside to spend with the kids, whether playing games or coaching them through some sport event. In her spare time, Dawn loves to backpack or read a good book. I know that she will always put our child’s needs first. Denise’s large family is all located in Arizona. Dawn recently located her birthmother in Washington State where her 3 brothers also reside. Dawn also has family in Southern California and Texas. We have five nephews and six nieces, ranging in age from 10 months to 22 years old. All the cousins look forward to watching all the Disney movies, playing Uno, Candyland and freeze-tag with their new cousin. We are truly blessed to have such an open and loving family who are so excited for us. One of our family traditions is to visit Denise’s parents for Christmas in their small town in Northern Arizona. We take all the children to the “lighting” of the bridge. We can’t wait to see the joy in our child’s eyes at this time of year.

ABOUT US
We both enjoy many of the same interests, for example traveling the States and internationally. So far, we have been to 10 different countries. We love experiencing other customs and cultures. Denise and I also enjoy hiking, rock climbing, and just relaxing around the house. We look forward to the opportunity to share our dreams and hobbies with our child, and showing him or her all the wonders of the world. Dawn loves to work in the garden and looks forward to showing our child all the different types of roses. She also loves to backpack, read a good book (she studies history!) and will enjoy reading to our child. Denise loves to build and create things around our home, playing with our puppies and educating herself on the latest technologies.
