We’re Nick & Niki from California. We can’t wait to partner with you on this journey…

We have felt an innate warmth towards the idea of adoption throughout our entire relationship! Niki was born the same year her cousin Harrison was adopted as a newborn! They grew up as best friends. Adoption was always a natural part of his story and taught Niki from a young age that there are so many beautiful and unique ways to make a family. We believe in the power of connection, joy, and loving people for who they are. We can’t wait to bring that energy into our future family!

I've dreamed of being a mother for as long as I can remember—it’s something I feel in my heart every single day. Kids are my whole life! I’m a Floortime Therapy Trainer, which basically means I get to teach people how to play for a living (yes, it's as fun as it sounds!). I love getting to work with Autistic kids but still work remote so I’m able to spend so much time with my family! I’ve always been a nurturer... As the oldest sibling and cousin in my family, I’ve been helping raise little ones since I was a kid myself!

I’m the 5th generation in my family to go camping at the same campground in the same campsite every summer in Northern California! We even still use my great Granddad’s bait box when we go fishing!

She’s my best friend! Niki is the most brilliant, kind, and insightful person I know. A true artist at heart, she is deeply empathetic, with a natural gift for connecting with children through play and creativity. Her sharp sense of humor keeps life joyful and full of laughter, and her curious, adventurous spirit brings so much excitement to our world together. Niki’s deep capacity for love alongside her nurturing instinct provide me with strength and an enduring sense of safety. She is a grounding force and a modest leader that many lean on for clarity and compassion. Niki was born to be a mother, and the idea of parenting a child with her has always felt natural, warm, and infinitely FUN.

I love trying new things, learning new skills, and embarking on new adventures. I’m a patient, open-minded and accepting person who loves to connect with others. I find joy in tinkering on cars and home projects, cooking for friends and family, and simply being present to enjoy the little things in life. I can’t wait to become a dad and share the world with our child through travel, art, food, and music. More than anything, I’m excited to stand beside them as they develop, learn and find their place in the world. By day, I am a Business Manager for musicians- that basically means I handle their money. Niki and I are lucky enough to have meaningful careers while working from home. I love to envision the opportunities our work/life balance can provide for our future family! I look forward to being there for school drop offs and volunteering on field trips.

My family is from Italy! In 2014 we went backpacking through Europe so we could meet my Italian family for the first time.... When we got to the little northern town, we found my last name painted across the town and learned that my cousin was actually the Mayor!

I can’t wait to see Nick be a dad! He’s the kind of guy who lights up every room with his sweet, engaging personality and he truly sees people for who they are, making them feel valued. Whether he’s making me laugh or offering support to those around him, his authenticity shines through. He’s deeply committed to growth, always working to be a better version of himself, whether through therapy or just being the amazing person he is. Plus he’s just the most fun!! Nick is already the best partner I could ask for and I know he’ll be an equally incredible dad!

We built our dream cabin in Big Bear, CA! We’re so lucky to live in a mountain town! Our family and friends love to visit on the weekends! We’re dreaming of summers at the lake & Christmases in the snow with our new favorite person!

Aggi is our adorable, playful 5 year old dog! She loves kids and will be our future child’s best buddy! We’re obsessed; she’s just so sweet we can’t help it!! Aggi’s always along for the ride! She loves giving kisses, playing fetch and sleeping under the covers!

So many people are already bursting with joy to meet the newest member of the fam! We’re so lucky that most of our family is in California so we get to spend lots of time with everyone!

Our friends are the best support system and they mean so much to us. We know we could call them day or night and they’d show up for us. We’re already grateful our kids will have them around!

One of the things we look forward to the most is showing our children the world! We want our kids to grow up exposed to different cultures, ways of life, types of food and all the beauty this world has to offer.

We are deeply confident in the love and life we’ve built, and now we’re ready to share it with a child. We have so much love to give and joy to share!

The love you have for this child is so evident just by the bravery you are showing by considering taking this journey with us… We promise to carry that love with us every day as we raise them in a home filled with warmth, joy, and care. We will provide them with a life full of love, safety, and opportunity, and will support them in becoming the very best version of themselves. Your child will always know how special they are, not just because of who they are but also because of the incredible woman who brought them into the world and made the brave decision to give them a future with us.
