Hello

Beautiful!

My name is Bernadette and I am ecstatic to be on this adoption journey.

There has never been any shortage of love, support, encouragement, or laughter in my life.

My whole family (and friends who have become family) are bursting at the seams to welcome the newest member to our crew. Please take some time to explore the website and reach out with any questions. I am so grateful you are here!

I’ve given a lot of thought to how I can describe why I am drawn to adoption, and the honest truth is, I have a hard time putting it into words.

It’s a feeling, but it is also so much more than that. It is a calling. I feel in my heart that it is what I am meant to do. What I find so beautiful about adoption is that it is entirely built on love. Your love and my love for this precious child and how the universe conspired to bring us both right here to this very moment.

Creating memories

with my family and friends is the most important thing to me and my favorite way to do that is by trying all sorts of different experiences together.

My dining room table is always full of loved ones and the laughter can be heard from across the street. It is important to me to have a home where everyone always feels welcomed, valued, and loved. 

From game nights to Tai Chi to watching movies on my outdoor projector, we do it all. Celebrations are a really big deal around here! I love to celebrate everything from the small wins to massive holidays. I even hosted a Stranger Things Party when the latest season dropped on Netflix. I claimed hosting duty many years ago and my door is always open. I never want anyone to ever feel alone.

I have been truly blessed in my life so it is vital to me to give back.

My Mom, sister, and I shop for our Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes year round so we can fill them with all sorts of tiny treasures. Nothing makes my heart happier than packing a homeless hygiene kit, or knowing I helped make a small difference.
