Lois

I was born and raised in New York City and I currently live in New Jersey.

I had a wonderful childhood, with loving and supportive parents who were great role models and I want to provide a similar experience to a child of my own.

I am very family oriented and have a strong support system composed of both my family and many good friends.
They are extremely excited and supportive of me adopting and will be actively involved in my child's life.

I am very close to my niece and nephew, who I think of as my own children. They are a very big part of my life and are extremely excited about me expanding my family through adoption.

I have a great group of friends of various ages, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, races and genders, whom I have formed close bonds with and consider family. They will be involved in my child's life and serve as role models.

I love spending time with family and friends, cooking, swimming, fishing, traveling, enjoying music and the arts, and learning about new things and cultures. I also enjoy spending time with them at home, going out to concerts, museums, restaurants, shows, the movies, beaches or joining them at their children's school performances or sporting events.

I love animals and have a very sweet and lovable rescue
puppy named Flora.

I have a wonderful and rewarding job in healthcare, a supportive team, a flexible schedule and a good work-life balance.

I love all holidays, but my favorite holiday has to be Christmas!

Some of my fondest childhood memories are of family and friends gathering and celebrating Christmas.

I love the lights, decorating the tree, drinking hot cocoa with little marshmallows, and singing Christmas carols; but most of all, I love all the family, joy and laughter that fill the holiday season.

I can't wait to cook our traditional dishes with my child, and add some new ones to our list; Bake and decorate cookies together; Decorate our home; and
Enjoy the gift of giving with our family and friends.

I can't wait to share these joyous moments, and create new memories and traditions with my child!
