Hi there! We are Cara and Miller and we’d be honored if you would consider us as adoptive parents. We feel fortunate to have the life and family we have, and can provide bundles of love and fun and opportunity to your child.

We have been together for twelve years and married for nine. We live in a great hillside community in a vibrant city of southern California. There is so much to do here for a child to enjoy—playgrounds at the beach, a beautiful school that looks like a grand old hacienda, really fun museums, gorgeous mountains and warm weather year round for outdoor activity. This will be a stimulating place in which to grow up.

We have two dogs that we raised from puppies. Georgie (6 yrs old) is a Corgi. We call her foxy piglet because she resembles both animals. Jemmah (7 yrs old) is a Puli, which is a Hungarian sheepdog. We call her Coco Chanel, because she is very elegant and poised. Both dogs love the excitement of being around children, and have spent many summers with our nieces and nephew.

As for us…Miller is 45 years old, 6’ tall, with lovely and kind hazel eyes. He has light brown hair… “sidehair” is what our niece calls it since he is bald on top. He grew up in Boston, Massachusetts, went to college at Northwestern University and works in the entertainment business, as a Director of hour-long dramatic television shows. In his job he manages different groups of people in a very intense, time sensitive, creative environment, and he is very good at what he does. He is highly intelligent, self-confident, and a super-nice guy. Everybody likes him and he was everything Cara was looking for in a life partner, as she wanted to be with someone solid and creative, and fun.

Cara is 44 years old, 5’1” tall, with big blue eyes. Her hair is medium brown with silver strands she refuses to color. She grew up in Manhattan and on Long Island in New York, went to college at Cornell University and then to Columbia University’s graduate school for creative writing where she earned a Master of Fine Arts degree. She writes novels for teenagers, often focusing on girls struggling to find their way to becoming the women they want to be. Her first book is based on her mother’s childhood growing up on an island coconut plantation off the coast of Ecuador, and the second is set in a university entomology lab that breeds flies (a job the author had in college). Cara was the kind of woman Miller always hoped to find—an artistic spirit with a big loving heart, full of life and exciting to be around.  Cara will be a stay-at-home mom.

As a couple, we’re basically homebodies that now and again like to go out and have adventures. We value having a peaceful and beautiful home, and we spend a lot of time there. We’re both interested in staying very fit, so physical health and strength is a big recreational thing for us, whether it’s going to the gym or going hiking, doing yoga or skiing. We both have a wacky sense of humor, it’s a quirkiness we share. And we’ve traveled together to far away places: horseback riding in the Andes of Peru, a month long trek in Bali, renting a houseboat in France. These are some of the kind of experiences we’d like to share with your child, to help them find out what they think is interesting in this big world.

We also own a summer home in Maine, in an area where Miller’s parents have retired. Miller usually has two months off in the summer and so we enjoy time there with family, including his two brothers and two sisters and their families, and we tour islands in Penobscot Bay on our boat. The whole family is excited about our plans to adopt, having seen us go through the difficulty of fertility treatments, as well as a few adoption attempts that did not work out.

We thank you for your consideration. It means so much to us. If you would like to find out more about us or talk to us personally, don’t hesitate to call our adoption represenatives anytime at 1-800-637-7999.
