We are Seft and William, a loving couple who lives in metro Atlanta, We have been together for almost 15 years. We met three days after Seft relocated to the midwest to accept a job at a local college. After only dating for a few months, we moved in together and began renovating our first house. We had no idea how this decision would challenge us to develop many skills that have helped sustain our relationship through today. Truly learning to listen to each other, respecting each other's ideas, and being open to compromise in pursuit of a shared goal are the primary lessons we have learned from our time on our journey together. These are the same values we would like to teach our children.

For us, becoming dads is a dream we have each had for as long as we can remember. While not giving up on this dream, we spent our earlier years attending college and completing our degrees.

For us, becoming dads is a dream we have each had for as long as we can remember. While not giving up on this dream, we spent our earlier years attending college and completing our degrees. Seft completed his Ph.D., and William completed his MBA (master's in business administration). We also started a successful business that is currently thriving. Though we explored IVF, we kept adoption as an option because we are motivated by the opportunity to provide a child with a safe and loving home. We are humbled and invigorated by the responsibility to help our child rewrite their story. We see this charge as one of the most important role we perform as parents.

Our child's story did not start with adoption. Instead, it extends back to the moment you decided to bring them into the world and make the courageous decision to entrust us with their care.

Our child's story did not start with adoption. Instead, it extends back to the moment you decided to bring them into the world and make the courageous decision to entrust us with their care. Irrespective of the type of adoption we ultimately settle on, our child will always know that they were loved from the earliest point in life. We promise that our child will always know what it means to belong and to be loved unconditionally. They will grow up in a safe and supportive home in a racially diverse community with access to highly rated schools. We promise to teach them to be kind and respectful of others and take every opportunity presented to help make the world a better, more just place.

Meet Seft (from William)
Seft his my rock! He is reliable, kind, and always tries to see what is good in people. He is adventurous and loves to try new things. We met shortly after he moved to the midwest for a new job, and we spent our first year together trying new restaurants, checking out local artists, and attending festivals. He's the one who can be counted on to suggest new places or adventures we should consider.
Seft has a heart for people and always strives to be the very best that he can be in his personal and professional life. He earned the highest academic honor in his field (Ph.D.) and challenged me to go back to school to complete my master's. He has a gift for inspiring others to keep striving, and I know he will bring this same spirit to his role as a father.
Meet William (from Seft)
William is one of the most decent, loving, and loyal people I know. He can always be counted on to bring a calming presence to every room. He is a great listener and is very protective of those he loves. He is the person you want in your corner during challenging times because he is slow to condemn and offer criticism. Instead, he leans in and extends a hand to help you see your way through it.
I also admire how William has a deep heart for the community and helping others. He studied urban planning in college. Shortly after we met, we moved to an urban neighborhood where we spent several years volunteering to help address long-standing challenges such as building new sidewalks, renovating a school, and planting hundreds of trees. William immersed himself into this work, and although we no longer live in the midwest, he stays involved by joining virtual meetings and calling to check on community members.
