Introduction Dear Birthmother: As we take our boat across the harbor on a beautiful summer afternoon, one spot is always empty. We look forward to our explorations of sand and sea, birds and shells, but we know that it is not complete. Someone is always missing. And when our niece flings her arms around our neck with, “I love you, Auntie Jaye!” I love you, Uncle Eric!”...

Introduction To someone incredibly special to us, Most mornings, we wake up to sun streaming in our windows and we feel blessed to live in our cozy home with our yellow lab, Milo, who greets us with a yawn and a wagging tail.

We are Greg and Julie. We met through match.com back in...
