About Us/Me

Hello and welcome to our profile! We are Alessandro and Lara and we are very excited to expand our family through adoption!

We grew up in Italy and we are both biologists involved in researching new therapies for diseases. We met while working in the same lab and while for Lara it was immediately clear that he was “the one”, it took a few months as being just friends for Alessandro to realize the same! We have been together for almost 18 years, married for 11, which seems like a very long time but it literally flew by! We came to Columbus, OH in 2011 for work, we fell in love with the place and decided to make Ohio our forever home.

We have a 5-year-old daughter, Alice. She loves to sing, dance and go to the parks to play with other children. She is an amazing child, happy and kind. She is very sweet to babies and we are sure that she will shower her baby brother/sister with love! Alice can’t wait to be a big sister!

Alessandro likes photography, watching movies, taking care of the garden (he grows all kinds of delicious vegetables and herbs!), and spending time with Alice. He never gets tired of playing “hide and seek”, doing the same puzzles over and over again, and inventing games and jokes to make Alice laugh!

Lara loves crafting and trying new creative activities, especially crocheting, painting, and scrapbooking. She likes to involve Alice in her projects and spend time together creating memories that will last. She is also the best in storytelling and singing silly songs!

Together, we love traveling and before Alice was born we’ve been fortunate enough to visit Europe, Canada, Nepal, Africa, South America, Japan, and several of the States.  We are very looking forward to start traveling again and expose our child(ren) to different foods and cultures, as we truly believe that traveling can teach them a lot about diversity and inclusion.

We are very committed to eat healthy, organic, and nutritious food; it is probably in our Italian blood! We enjoy cooking and we prepare almost every meal from scratch. Our daughter loves to help us making pasta, pizza, bread, and cookies…and we can’t wait to have another little helper in the kitchen! We love also to host gatherings with friends and family and testing out new dishes with them.

We recently bought our dream home, and we love it!

It is a cute two-story house in the Worthington area, in one of the top-rated school districts in the area, and within walking distance from a huge playground. We really enjoy being outside as much as possible, and, weather permitting, we try to go out for a walk in the park every day after work, while Alice usually speeds beside us in her scooter or bicycle. On weekends, we like to go hiking in Sharon Woods and Highbanks Metro Parks, which are both very close to where we live. Our house also has a large fenced-in backyard with a deck and we love to gather outside with friends and maybe grill some burgers while the kids play with the wooden playset or run around. Our neighborhood is very safe and family-friendly; many young kids live in the area and you can frequently see them playing in our street, which is quiet and with very limited traffic.

We don’t have any immediate family living nearby but we go to Italy at least once a year, to soak in the sun and in the love of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.  Also, over the years we have made some very good friends here in Columbus and we considered them as our extended family, so much that our daughter calls them uncles or aunts. Our friends are beyond excited to be a part of our adoption journey and they cannot wait to welcome a new niece/nephew. 

 

About You

We cannot completely understand what you are going through, and we can only imagine how overwhelming this must be, especially during such an emotionally and challenging experience like pregnancy. Please know that we admire you unconditionally for the selfless and courageous choice you are making, and we are very grateful that you are exploring the idea of adoption for your child. We assure you that your child will know that your decision was made out of love, and we will create a space for you to be a part of our lives at a level for which you want and feel comfortable. We will provide your child with a family and a home surrounded by a lot of love, support, and respect. We promise to love your child as our own, he/she will grow, play and learn together with our daughter and we will give them every opportunity that we can possibly provide. We want to help them find their talents, and to encourage them to chase their dreams.

 

Thank you very much for taking the time to view our profile and getting to know our family. We hope you will consider us as you make a decision for your child.
