Hi, we are Chris and Zehara, you probably have a lot on your plate right now and we’re grateful you’re taking the time to read about us. We’re really hopeful about open adoption because family and community are important to us. We have a lot of people in our lives who we think of as family, whether or not we’re related by blood. We believe a big part of family is deciding to build something together. We hope that together we can build a unique and supportive family for a little one. We live out on a big ranch in the Bay Area. We moved here because we loved the idea of a child growing up with the diversity and culture of the Bay Area, and also with a strong connection to plants and animals.

We live on a ranch in the Bay Area. Our house is in the woods but we're close to the city.
We love Halloween! We like dressing up and look forward to trick or treating with kid.
When we visit Zehara's family in the Philippines. We get to swim and eat good food
We love doing things in nature, being around animals, and learning about plants.
We got Snu when he was 8. He's a sweet, old dog, and everyone calls him an "instant charmer."
I try to be a warm and open-hearted person. From the moment Zehara met me she said she could see my kind heart. I’m creative and curious, so I’m always learning something new. I’m good at letting myself be bad at things, which is the first step to becoming good at things!
Part of what makes me excited about being a parent is how much I love learning. Zehara has watched me with many of our friends’ kids – I love to show them new things, I never get impatient with them and actually enjoy answering endless questions that a lot of other adults can get tired of.
I am a kind, empathetic, and nurturing person. This comes out in many ways – from my professional work caring for patients as a therapist to tending to a huge assortment of indoor and outdoor plants to taking care of our furry best friend Snu. When our friends are going through tough times, my door is always open.
I’m so excited about being a parent with Chris! I love playing make-believe with our friends’ kids and I know that the home we’ve built together will be a safe and fun place for a little one to grow.
We live in Castro Valley on a 100-acre ranch in the woods, but we’re only 10 minutes away from the town. We love it because it’s the best of both worlds. The Bay Area is diverse and has so many wonderful things to offer, and at the same time, we live somewhere where we can hear birds, take walks in the woods, and see all sorts of animals. A big reason we moved here is because we wanted to raise a kid in a place where they can grow up feeling comfortable in the city and nature.
We have a big extended family, made up of blood relatives and chosen family. Zehara is from the Bay Area, so her Filipino family is nearby and excited to help out. Filipino culture is very big on family and food. Chris’s family lives in Delaware but wants to visit all the time once there’s a baby. We’ve lived in the Bay a long time, so we also have a big network of friends or chosen family. There are a lot of babies, who we think of as future cousins!
