Patty

Dear Birthparent,

I know you are facing one of the most difficult decisions of your life. Your courage is something that I will never forget or take for granted. I can only hope that by reading this and getting to know me and my family that you will feel a but more comfortable choosing me as your child's adoptive mother.

I have longed to me become a mother. I am ready to take on the many challenges that I will. I am emotionally and financially prepared to share my life with a child and together with my family and friends, I will provide the best possible environment - full of security and unconditional love.

About Me
I was raised in a large family in MetroWest Boston. I am the sixth of eight children born to Irish Immigrants. Both of my parents are still with us and they live very active lives. I have four older sisters, one older brother, and two younger brothers. We now have 12 grandchildren ranging from 4 to 27 years of age.

I live in the same town as my parents and within 1 hour drive of most of the family. We are very close and heavily involved in each others lives. Most weekends I do something with my family - could be a day of shopping with my mother and my niece, taking a walk, or going to see my brother's band play. We have a lot of family events and I generally cook Sunday dinner a few times a month. Every summer we rent a cabin on a lake and spend the entire week together. It is something we all look forward to every year.

I also have a close knit group of friends that I also consider family. We spend a lot of time together doing very family oriented things - skiing, swimming, etc. I have watched in awe of the mothers and fathers and how they have raised their children. They are smart and kind to each other. They are very physically active in everything that they do. We spend a weekend together every fourth of July together and there are about 40 of us - including 20 kids. Never once have the kids been anything but great with each other. The all play together - regardless of age. They are great examples of what family is supposed to be.

Growing up a good education was an important goal for me. I worked my way through undergraduate and graduate school and was an exceptional student. I graduated from undergrad with a 3.8 and finished my MBA part time in less that 3 years. I have a strong commitment to education - It is more about expanding one's mind than it is about getting a good job.

After receiving my MBA, I began working at a firm in Waltham. I can truly say that after 15 years, I still love my job. They are a family friendly firm (already approved my reduced work week once I become a Mom) and will be very supportive of my new life. While my career is important to me, it is not what defines me. I live a very full life and spend a lot of time with family and friends. My biggest hobby now is golf. I have been golfing for over 10 years and play in a weekly golf league. It is a great way to challenge yourself both physically and mentally. Other hobbies include red sox games, yoga, bike riding, and snowmobiling.

My goal is to provide a happy home for a child. I have the emotional and financial means as well as a lot of outside support from family and friends (I believe that it does take a village). More importantly - I will be there 100% of every day to ensure that my child has the best home possible. A child should above all else, feel as if his/her parent is there for them. And I intend to be there.

"I have know Patty ever since I can remember and for all those years she has acted as a second Mom to me. Always full of happiness and energy, she is never a bore to be around and even in the darkest days she always manages to crack a smile. Even when I was young she acted as a best friend to me, guiding me in the right direction without ever being harsh or cruel. Her smile is contagious, and when she is happy everyone else around her can't help but feel it too. Patty showed me that life is something to enjoy and live for the moment. She has helped me develop a bright and positive attitude and without her, I wouldn't have learned to love my life the way I do." – Marisa 16 – friend’s daughter

Where We Will Live - Home Sweet Home !
My home is located in MetroWest Massachusetts. A wonderful suburban area just 20 miles outside of Boston that combines the advantages of suburban living with easy access to the city. Within an hours drive you can be at the city, at the lake, one a mountain, or at the ocean.

I have a 3 bedroom home that is located at the end of a cul de sac. There is a school within a 5 minute walk from the house. The neighborhood is full of children of all ages. The yard has plenty of areas to play in and behind the house is a bike trail that goes through town.

Many of our family events are held at my house. The family gathers for Sunday dinners, major holidays, and summer cookouts.

I love to host family events. It gives me a chance to cook (something that I love to do). We love home cooked meals with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. A family favorite is Grandma's famous apple crisp.

Weekends give the family some quality time together where we can take family bike rides or simply lounge on the patio. During the winter months we have family movie nights and play card games.

Thank you !

Thank you for taking the time to learn about me and my family.
