Hello! I’m Michelle from Orange County, California. Thank you for considering my profile! I’m beyond excited about starting a family with your child! I know you are facing such a difficult decision. I can assure you that I will love your child unconditionally and will provide a warm and nurturing home environment. I welcome you to learn more about me and my family.

I’ve always dreamed of having my own family and considered adoption a possibility. Family always comes first! I’m a caring person who thrives on helping others by making their lives happier and being available for them. I have endless love to give and will raise your child in a warm, safe, and fun environment.

I’m a Southern California girl. I live close to the beach, the mountains, the desert, and most importantly… Disneyland! Fortunately, my family lives nearby, and we can enjoy these attractions together. It’s truly a privilege to grow up in this area! I’m a true believer in “it takes a village” to raise a child. I’m blessed to have a close-knit family and wonderful friends who are always there for me. We all have different interests so I know your child will have a exciting life. We all have rescue pets and they keep us entertained and active. I live with 3 dogs and 2 cats. My life has been enriched by rescuing animals and I look forward to sharing this lifestyle with your child.

I’ve incorporated my passion for animals into my career and have over 20 years experience in a variety of veterinary hospitals. I’ve worked in General Practice, ER, Internal Medicine, and most recently, Oncology. Over the years I learned to be an entrepreneur. Recently, I started my bookkeeping practice which allows me to have more flexible hours and work from home four days a week. I’m also helping to start a rescue for orphaned kittens. I have such a rich life and look forward to sharing it with your child. I value family time together in a nurturing home creating lifetime memories.

I love taking pictures of natural landscapes and all kinds of animals in their habitats. I find most of my subjects while hiking in the hills around my home and visiting the San Diego Safari Park. I’m also considered the “family photographer”. I enjoy capturing family fun and memories. Springtime is my favorite time to go hiking locally because all the flowers are blooming, and the creeks are full of water from recent rainfall. Growing up in beautiful Southern California, the weather is always perfect and I’m very close to the beach. I love going paddleboarding and kayaking in the local harbors and sometimes my dogs tag along. I’ve traveled all over the Western Hemisphere and am eager to cross the Atlantic someday. I can’t wait to open your child’s eyes to different cultures and traditions around the world when we travel together.

I live in a large house that is perfect for raising a family. I love that I have the opportunity to raise a child in my hometown where I can share my experiences from my own childhood in a wonderful community. I live in a beautiful neighborhood with rolling hills and lots of families with young children. I grew up playing and riding bikes with my best friends in the different cul-de-sacs of the neighborhood. My house has a large backyard, where I like to host fun-filled birthday parties with games and scavenger hunts. My three dogs love running around in the backyard, swimming in the pool with the family, and cooling off during hot summer days.

I have three dogs and two cats. All have different personalities, and there is never a dull moment in the house. Ruby is the babysitter of the group. Kylo is a sweetheart who loves to take swims in the pool. Jarvis loves to give sloppy, wet kisses. We can’t forget the cats! Rey loves eating marshmallows and Bo Katan is soft like cashmere. Both kitties are very social, loving, and playful.

My mom is a retired elementary school principal loved by the community. I can’t take her anywhere without being spotted by a former student of hers. She is my best friend and my rock. My older brother lives 10 minutes away, and we see each other at least once a week. He and my sister-in-law have raised 3 wonderful children, and I love being their “fun” aunt. My aunt and uncle adopted a baby girl several years ago, and it has always been a pleasure watching them raise their daughter and be open with her about the adoption. Most of my family is bilingual and I look forward to teaching your child Spanish and English. My mom helped create and run a dual language immersion program in our school district, where children are taught in both English and Spanish. Both of my nephews are dual immersion students and I look forward to including your child in the program too.

Every Christmas, my brother and his family host a themed Christmas Eve party. Friends and family dress up, play games, and eat lots of food. The most recent theme was Grinchmas, and I dressed as a Who from Whoville. Every year, we throw start-of-summer and end-of-summer pool parties. We invite friends, family, and neighbors to celebrate the summer weather. Everyone plays basketball and ping pong, swims in the pool, and enjoys great food!

Not only do I have a fantastic family, but I also have amazing friends. My friends are “my chosen family”. We have traveled the world together and see each other all of the time. We have dinner at least once a month and hang out at each other’s family events. One friend is an occupational therapist who uses horses for therapy with young children and adults. Her husband and my brother are great father figures who will have a positive influence on your child. As you can see, I have a truly amazing village that will be the foundation for a remarkable childhood.

“Michelle embodies responsibility, thoughtfulness, supportiveness, and kindness, with a profound love for animals. I’ve had the privilege of witnessing her nurturing and caring nature firsthand, not only with her well-loved pets but also with her niece, nephews, and our friends’ children. Without a doubt, Michelle will be a wonderful mother to any child.”
– Shelby (my friend)

“I admire Michelle’s ability to show unconditional love, her endless energy, and her calm demeanor. She connects with people of all ages—infants, teenagers, and adults alike—and effortlessly wins them over with her sense of humor and warm personality. She is going to be an exceptional mother!”
– My mom

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and considering me to raise your child. I am excited to share my life experiences and guide your child’s growth. It is truly an honor that you are considering me and my family for this important role, as I believe it takes a village to raise a child. I understand that this is a tough decision for you, and I hope my profile has provided you with enough insight and information. Your child will not only receive unconditional love but also be encouraged to develop into a fantastic individual.
