About Us
Our story started about 9 years ago when we first met in Central Park. As two guys raised in the south and living in New York, we met by chance in our late 20s and instantly felt a strong attraction to each other. We quickly fell in love and shared our dreams and hopes and knew that in a city of millions, we had found each other. A few months after we met, the events of 9/11 unfolded before us and the importance of family, life and our love became even more significant. Not long after that, we returned to the south to build our lives closer to friends and family. Since then we have shared some amazing adventures together and we look forward to sharing our love of life with a child. Through our love of travel and learning about different cultures we have been to many different countries and Brent has lived extensively in Asia. We love exploring new cities, spending time outdoors and relaxing with friends and family.
Greg's Thoughts about Brent
Although just three years older than me, Brent is someone I truly admire and respect. Words I would use to describe him are caring, giving, hard working, outgoing and motivated. He was born and raised in Dallas by a wonderful mother. Along with his younger sister, she put him through school and supported him with lots of love and encouragement. After completing his undergrad at UT Austin, he wanted to see the world, so he did...35 countries so far and counting and we have traveled to many of these countries together. He spent about 7 years traveling and working in Asia and got his Masters degree in Tokyo. He is a member of Mensa, speaks Japanese and German and has taught at a university and a few colleges as well. Professionally he has worked in IT as a Project Manager for more than 17 years, mostly in Japan, Texas and New York where we met. He has an adorable niece and nephew that he and I love to spend time with. As we have gotten closer over the years, we have talked a lot about starting our own family. I am proud of who he is and what he has overcome and I feel that he has a lot of love to offer a child as a father.
Brent's thoughts about Greg
The first time I saw Greg I fell in love with his smile and charm instantly. I would describe Greg as intelligent, committed, very supportive and someone who cares deeply about others. As the oldest of three kids, he was raised by very loving parents and grandparents in Pennsylvania, Oklahoma and Michigan. After graduating as valedictorian, he received a degree from Tulane in history and then moved to New York where we met. He is an avid reader and very interested in history, architecture and travel. A bit shy at first, Greg balances me out well and is truly my best friend and companion. He has a very big heart and has excelled in his career through several promotions and awards. I am very proud of him and our relationship. He has two nephews, a sister and brother a few hours away and loves to take them to amusements parks every chance he gets. There is no one that I would rather raise a child with than Greg. I am certain he will be an amazing dad who, along with me, deeply wants to bring our child up in the most loving and nurturing environment possible.
Our Home & Community
Our family and friends are very important to us. We are very fortunate to have their love and support and are even luckier to have them nearby. They are a part of our everyday lives and hardly a week goes by where we are not at some family event together. We also have amazing mothers and sisters whom we consider as best of friends and they will play an important roles in our child's life.
We love having children in our lives and our hearts melt every time our niece and nephews call us Uncle Brent and Uncle Greg. Our niece loves spending the night at our house and building cushion forts with her uncles in the living room. We like playing with our niece and nephews since it gives us a chance to laugh and be silly with them, something we love doing.
We are homeowners who love where we live and have a big park across the street with water fountains in it that we take our nephews and niece to play in, almost every time they visit. It’s very friendly urban area with wonderful neighbors, plenty of festivals, restaurants and parks to take our dog Rudy for walks in. We are also fortunate to have a 2nd home not far from where we live that we spend many weekends at with friends and family. Our favorite thing to do during the summer is spend the weekends at the lakehouse overlooking the water, having cookouts, swimming in the pool and boating. We love getting away from the city and spending time there relaxing.
We live and work in areas with such a diverse group of people and cultures and Brent’s job allows him to speak Japanese with coworkers on a daily basis. We value all of the wonderful uniqueness each person brings to this world, and we plan to raise our child with the same open mindedness.
Our town has a fantastic school system and Brent's sister is about 15 minutes away. She is a former elementary teacher who takes care of children now at her home and is very supportive and excited for us. Greg's parents hope to retire soon nearby and Brent's mom lives even closer than his sister does. This means our child will have many loving grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins close by to provide plenty of love and affection throughout the years.
In closing...
We feel we have so much to offer a child, and we are very excited at even the thought of becoming parents. We know that it will not be easy, but one thing we have learned is that nothing in life worth having is ever easy. The qualities that have made us and our relationship strong are the same ones we promise to give a child: acceptance, honesty, hard work, a passion for learning, patience, self respect, appreciation of differences, lots of laughter and course lots of unconditional love, care and support.
We know that you love your child very much, and should you decide to choose us, you will always be considered our child’s mother. Words will never express how much a little bundle of joy will mean to us and from the bottom of our heart we want to thank you so much for considering us!
