About Erik

Family and home are always at the forefront of my decisions and actions. I’m the organizer and planner for our family. I love learning and was a University English Professor before transitioning to nonprofit leadership. I’m very musical – I sing, dance International Latin ballroom, and play the piano, flute, and double bass. I’m fiercely passionate, especially about social justice, and run events to support queer artists and elevate the voices of marginalized people. I look forward to being present for a little one when it comes to doing homework and answering all those “why” questions children love to ask!

 

Erik has a lot of degrees, including a PhD, and loves to teach. He is the Executive Director of a nonprofit supporting seniors and people with disabilities.

About Ron

I grew up loving nature and the outdoors. As a child, our family was always camping, hiking, fishing, and water skiing. I still love being outside, and as a gardener, I get to spend much of my time out in the sunshine (or in the fog of San Francisco). I also love airplanes and air travel and always look up when I hear a plane flying overhead. Roller coasters and amusement parks are a huge passion of mine, and I have traveled to many states and different countries to experience as many as I can. I’m planning to retire soon and become a stay-at-home papa, doing arts and crafts, playing in the garden, and fostering curiosity and exploration with a little one.

 

Ron didn’t attend college until much later in life when he earned his AS in Landscape Design and Maintenance and now works as a gardener.

About Jack

With help, I worked incredibly hard and escaped a cycle of poverty and homelessness. I found a family and built a happy life. This instilled a sense of gratitude and wonder for the world that I share with the people I care about. I have come to embody play and curiosity. You can find me learning new skills, tinkering with electronics, or creating random adventures for me and my family to do together. I sing, I dance, and I am certainly not afraid to make a fool of myself, leading to wonderful opportunities like singing with Sam Smith. Being so energetic and whimsical, I’m looking forward to running around the playgrounds, splashing in the ocean, and throwing home dance parties with a little one.

 

Jack went from being homeless to getting into community college to graduating at the top of their class at UC Berkeley. They work in nonprofit EdTech supporting K-12 education.

Our Home & Pets

We have two cats, Fred and George, who are brothers. George is super cuddly and loves climbing up on our shoulders or rubbing his face on our beards. Fred is more independent and hates to stand still, and is also our “guard cat”, making sure all the other cats and raccoons stay out of our backyard! Both will love having another human in the house to snuggle with and, someday, run around the house with.

 

We all live together in the home we own in San Francisco. We love our city for its diversity, inclusiveness, and the community where we feel safe. We are lucky to live close to parks, city pools, natural open spaces, museums, and a diversity of restaurants and cultural spaces. Our backyard has a sandy play area as well as a garden. We enjoy going out together, including to amusements parks, the theater, concerts, and museums.

Our Loved Ones

We are close with our families, who live across the country. We travel a lot to visit them, combining families together for trips and reunions. All our moms were together recently on a birthday cruise for Ron, which was special for us. We have many friends that have become “chosen” family, even calling our parents mom and dad. A child in our family will have lots of cousins, aunties, and uncles. We feel so blessed that our three families, plus all our friends, have bonded so well into one giant family. We understand that our family may appear different to some, but we know how to “do” chosen family very well. We all love each other and show up for each other, which we believe would be a beautiful place for your child to grow. We also want to know you and include you in the love we have to give.

In Closing

Thank you for reading our story and considering us to become part of your family. It takes a village, and we promise that your child will always feel care, kindness, and support. They will learn how to plant seeds, build amazing Lego houses, and sing along together to musicals, disco, and, of course, 80s pop. We promise you they will know they are loved, including by you, and will grow into a beautiful, unique, confident, and compassionate person. Our hearts are full, and we are ready to be loving, nurturing, inspiring parents who will take the time to truly hear your hopes and dreams for your child’s future. Please reach out to us if you have questions or want to get to know us better.
