We are Brian and Zsofia from Illinois

We want to thank you for taking the time to review our profile. Our hope is that this will help you to get to know us a little better. We know that this is not any easy decision and it’s the most selfless act. We admire your bravery and strength of character in considering this option. We wish you success in your journey as you thoughtfully consider the best path for your child. We would be honored and privileged to provide a home and family for your baby. 

We always imagined ourselves to be a family of 4 since both of us grew up with siblings. We know our children will have a special bond and we already cannot wait to see them connecting. Nina is excited to be a big sister, she has been talking about a little brother or sister for a while now. She has already put some of her baby toys in the other nursery. Sometimes we babysit our neighbor's son, and she loves to feed him applesauce or give him the bottle. I know she would be so excited to help us care for her little sibling. 

Zsofia was born and raised in Hungary. While studying Business and Hospitality Management, she had the opportunity to take an internship in the USA. Little did she know, she was about to meet the love of her life.

Brian was born and raised in the Netherlands to an American mother and a Dutch father, so he grew up bilingual. Brian decided to attend a university in the USA with a similar major as Zsofia.

We met in 2009 while we both spent our internship in the south (Zsofia was in Alabama, Brian was in Louisiana). We had an instant connection and, as cheesy it sounds, it was love at first sight. We continued dating through our internships and we made the long distance relationship work.

Since we are both from Europe, after our studies we returned home - first Zsofia moved to the Netherlands to be with Brian, then a few years later, we both moved to Hungary. After years of traveling and enjoying our newlywed life, in 2017 we decided to move to the US and finally start a family.

In 2020, after more than 2 years of waiting, we finally got the phone call we’d been waiting for and adopted our daughter, Nina. Every single day we are thankful for her birthmom, who made it possible for us to become parents to this wonderful little girl, who brings so much joy to our lives. We know this kind and tender little girl will be the best big sister to your baby.

Since we love to be outdoors and traveling, this is the way we are raising our daughter and plan to raise your baby. We enjoy daily walks together with the dogs, going for bike rides, to the lake on a sunny day or meeting with friends. We both enjoy traveling, and after being fortunate enough to see some beautiful places already, we would like to show the world to our children too and teach them all about different cultures and traditions.

We have so many similarities and we are a perfect complement to each other as a couple, which helps us to get the best out of each other. We are on the same page when it comes to parenting which is so important in offering a stable and loving home for our children.

Zsofia is very creative and always up to something: painting, sewing, making sensory toys. She is also into photography and hopes that eventually she can do that full time. Brian is a good handyman and always on board with Zsofia’s DIY projects around the house. He enjoys watching and playing soccer and going for a run with our dog Rocky.

We cannot wait for the first time, when we can hug your baby, welcome them to our family and all the firsts that come after that - small everyday things and big holidays. We will share the big milestones with you, as we do with Nina’s birth parents. 

Your child will know how much you love them and that you chose an amazing life for them.

With love,
Zsofia, Brian and Nina
