You don’t know us yet, but we are honored and grateful for your consideration to make an adoption plan that includes us. We decided to adopt early in our relationship, and have planned, hoped, and prayed for you and for your child since that moment.

Our hope is to show a glimpse of who we are, complete with all of the quirks, passions, and joys that make up our family. We are grateful to you and look forward to the chance to meet you soon.

 

Meet Raquel

Raquel grew up in the Dominican Republic and moved to Minnesota with her family of 5 when she was 15. She adapted quickly to life as an American, and quickly mastered English along with the ins and outs of American culture. While her career involves using her organizational gifts in managing digital websites, Raquel’s true gift is in her ability to make kids, friends, and family feel welcome. She is warm, intentional, and caring. She has a high attention to detail, and easily has the loudest laugh in the room.

Occupation: Raquel works as a Digital Project Manager.

Hobbies and Interests: Baking cakes and throwing spectacular parties.

Favorite Place: Punta Cana (in the Dominican) Maria’s Café (in Minneapolis) and her closet/office (in our house)

Favorite Tradition: Going to the best Dominican restaurant in the city for dinner when Raquel’s parents visit.

Family: Raquel is the oldest of 3 siblings.

 

Meet Andrew

Andrew grew up in Richfield Minnesota as the oldest of 5 siblings. He is a proud Minnesotan, a state he is happy to call home after living in Detroit Michigan for 6 years. He loves his work as a teacher. He expects the very best from his students, and cares for them dearly. His passion for students is only matched by his fierce loyalty to our friends and family in Minneapolis. He is kind, driven, and funny. He loves to tell stories and considers it his personal responsibility to take Raquel on wild adventures in nature any chance he gets.

Occupation: Andrew teaches 9th grade Geometry at Hope Academy in Minneapolis.

Hobbies and Interests: Andrew loves biking, hiking, kayaking, along with watching Vikings, Timberwolves and Loons games.

Favorite Place: The family cabin in Wisconsin, Young Life camp, and our backyard patio.

Favorite Tradition: Having family over for Friday night pizza every week.

Family: Andrew is the oldest of 5 siblings.

 

Our Promise

We do not and cannot promise to be perfect. We promise to love your child with everything we have. We promise to teach them that there is a God who loves them even more than we ever could. We promise to support you in any way we can through this process, and we promise that your child will always know who you are, and the decision you made because you love them.

We cannot wait to meet you!!

-The Pearces
