As far back as either of us can remember, we
both envisioned our life surrounded by the people we
loved and a family of our own.
We can think of no greater joy than to be able to share
the laughter in life and our love with a child.
As you may have already guessed, fate intervened
and while having to fight for Pamela’s life, we lost the
ability to create a family on our own.
We have happily chosen to build it through
adoption.
Whether it is a little boy, little girl, twins or
siblings, our hope is to fill each day of our children’s
lives with love from our hearts, raising them with
imagination, creativity and guidance to let them
experience what life has to offer while letting them fly
on their own wings.
So in advance, we want to thank you for being one
of the most amazing people we may know in our life, as
you have selflessly chosen to make someone else’s dream
come true.
Although we can’t imagine what it is like to walk in
your shoes, we understand how important making this
decision is. How
do you pick the people who will raise the child that you
are bringing into this world?
What makes you feel the connection to know that
they are the ones?
Thank you for giving us this opportunity to share
a glimpse of who we are with you, to see if we are that
connection and creating the possibility of sharing our
life with you for years to come.
We hope you find that special connection |

One of Pamela’s passions is to raise
money and awareness of Breast Cancer in
the hopes that one day there will be a
world without Cancer. |

Pamela’s favorite recent Disney movie is
enchanted, which is part of her
extensive Disney movie collection.
There is just something about it
that makes her heart smile as she sings
her way through the movie.
(The end of Toy Story 3 always
makes her cry too!) |

Pamela loves to cook and bake (which is
great for Gerald’s sweet tooth).
She just took a cake decorating
class and can make some cupcake
creations that are amazing. |
| |
|
|

Pamela loves to golf- as long as there
is a windmill and clown face involved.
She has to try every new
mini-golf place she can at home and on
vacation. |

Although Pamela was a dancer when she
was growing up, she won 1st
place at the ShowBiz dance competition
in 2007 for lyrical and jazz in the
adult team category. |

Pamela believes in giving back and
spending a great deal of time working
with volunteer organizations such as
community family services and domestic
abuse projects. |

Pamela’s mantra in life is “when life
throws you lemons, throw grapefruits
back.
They make a bigger splat!" |

When Gerald met Pamela, he was amazed
that she came with a complete set of
power tools – and she knew how to use
them. |
|

One of Pamela’s most memorable trips was
driving 2000 miles with her parents,
brother and Baba Eve in their big
station wagon to Walt Disney World when
she was 7.
She still has the original Winnie
the Pooh and Dumbo stuffed animals she
bought on that trip. |

For Pamela, her 2 favorite smiles in the
world are those of her little nephews
when she comes over to pick them up for
a play date. |

1. |
We are positive Gerald was Cookie
Monster in another life.
Whenever cookies are around him,
they seem to disappear very quickly. |
| |
|
|
|
|
2. |
During college, Gerald’s nickname was
Flash.
His roommates used to time him to
see how quick he could get to places and
back since he once ran a 5 minute mile. |
| |
|
|
|
|

Yes, as Pamela’s nephew said at our
wedding dinner “Look Daddy, there’s
another Uncle Gerald”.
Gerald is a twin!
His brother’s name is Peter and
they are identical mirror images. |
| |
|
|
|
|
4. |
One of Gerald’s favorite places on earth
is at Jaxson’s Ice Cream Parlor in Ft.
Lauderdale, FL.
They make big old fashioned
sundae’s that are meant for sharing. |
| |
|
|
|
|

Gerald’s favorite trip with Pamela was
to San Juan, Puerto Rico.
He says it is because it was a
pretty little island, but in reality it
is because there were 2 amazing forts he
got to spend time playing at. |
| |
|
|
|
|

Spending the entire day at his
grandparent’s house with his family-
parents, siblings, aunts, uncles and
cousins with tons of food around was one
of Gerald’s happiest childhood memories. |
| |
|
|
|
|

One of Gerald’s dreams came true last
summer when he and Pamela bought a
beautiful 5 bedroom home in a family
friendly neighborhood, and has been
loving living there since. |
|

When football season comes around,
Gerald can be found in front of a TV
whether it is college or NFL, talking
to the TV directing the players, who he
is sure are listening to him. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. |
Gerald is addicted to reading sci-fi
novels and military history/strategy
books.
His happy place is spending the
day at Barnes and Noble reading books in
the aisles. |
|
|
|

For Gerald, there is nothing like the
feeling of a happy tired puppy snuggled
up next to you on the couch after
playing fetch |
