Julie & Pascal

Dear expecting mother,

We are writing to you with a heart full of respect and gratitude. We understand that you are facing a significant and challenging decision regarding the future of your child, and we want to express our sincere admiration for your strength and courage during this time. We are looking to grow our family through adoption. We have so much love to give and are incredibly excited about the possibility of welcoming a child into our lives. We believe that family is built on love, not just biology, and we are ready to open our hearts and home to a new member. We want you to know that we will provide a nurturing, supportive, and loving environment for your child. We can’t wait to share our lives, values, and dreams with you and what we have to offer; a future filled with endless possibilities. Thank you for considering us as potential parents for your child. We hope to meet you soon and share more about our lives and the future we dream of building together as a family.

Our Love Story

Our journey together began 14 years ago at a religious retreat, where we first met. At that time, we became friends, but he lived many hours away. After a difficult period in my life, Pascal moved closer to me to provide a consistent support. After 7 years of steadfast friendship, our relationship blossomed into a loving partnership.

We’re passionate about the outdoors and love spending our weekends camping and exploring nature. Whether it’s hiking through the woods, sitting by the fire, or just enjoying the fresh air, being in nature is where we feel most connected to each other and the world around us.

When we’re not out camping, we enjoy cozy nights in, watching our favorite TV shows, or spending time with our families. For us, there’s nothing better than gathering with loved ones, sharing stories, and creating new memories together.

Julie was deeply moved by her parents’ fostering. She chose adoption early, regardless of having her own kids. Adoption was a family dream.

Even though Julie has children from a previous relationship, Pascal and Julie, both dreamed of having kids together. Julie’s experience with a hysterectomy opened our eyes to the various ways we can become parents, which sparked our excitement about adoption.

For us, it’s not just about growing our family; it’s about providing a warm, loving home to a child who needs it. That feels incredibly rewarding. We believe that adoption fits perfectly with our vision of what a family can be.

Our home

• Our house is in a semi-rural area. We love the nature that surrounds us. All while being close to many amenities like schools, parks, stores, etc..
• Our backyard has plenty of room for playing games or just to unwind after a day at school or work.

Our camp life

• Summer is our favorite season because it means heading to our beloved camp. It’s a time for us to unwind, connect, and create unforgettable memories together.

Our values

Faith is the cornerstone of our family’s identity, giving us a sense of purpose, guidance, and shared values; from going to church regularly, to celebrating sacraments, it is a family affair.

Our French Canadian culture is important to us because it shapes our identities and values.

Music adds a special touch to our family life, making moments more enjoyable and meaningful. It helps us keep in touch with our traditions. It also sets the mood during gatherings or just to making everyday tasks more fun.

Family get-togethers are an important part of our lives, allowing us to create lasting memories and strengthen the bonds that connect us.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about our journey and the love we have to share.

We are committed to creating a transparent and supportive relationship with you and anyone involved in the process. We understand that every adoption story is unique, and we welcome the opportunity to discuss what that means for us and our future family.

Your consideration means the world to us, and we hope to connect with someone who shares our vision of love and family.

With gratitude,

Julie and Pascal
