Hi! I'm Becky and my husband of 12 years is Paul. I feel very strongly that adopting transracially is the direction that our family is being called. We were completely prepared for a transracial adoption 4 years ago when we were chosen by a birth mom to adopt her full caucasian baby. Our sweet boy isn't what we were expecting but we know he was meant to be ours!!
We have 4 kids. Alia is 10 years old and the only girl. She desperately wants a sister and has always wanted to sister with brown skin. The boys are Josiah, age 8; Mathias (Thys), age 6; and Zander, age 4. As mentioned earlier, Zander came to our family through infant adoption. My other kids were born at home with a midwife present. The big kids talk all the time about watching Thys be born and now Thys and Zander beg for a baby to "get in your tummy" so they can see a baby be born too!
Paul and I would like to expand our family through embryo adoption. We have many AA friends who are ready and waiting to encourage and support us in raising a black child.
Something else special about our family is that we have chosen to be location independent. Paul does all his work online and traveling is our passion! The kids have definitely caught the travel bug and we love traveling the world with our little crew! Zander had 23 flights and 10 countries under his tiny belt before he turned 3!!! We are currently living in Mexico and LOVING it! Ecuador, Peru and Ireland are next on the list!
Please know that your little embies will be raised as world thinkers and will have a large view of the possibilities the world has to offer as they grow up. All this while being part of a tight knit family that will provide them with the love and stability necessary to be strong, independent, kind and responsible individual.
