Meet Maura & Billy G.

Dear Birth Parent(s),

We cannot easily express everything we want to say to you. We know this must be an emotional time for you, and we cannot say thank you enough! Thank you for the strength, courage, compassion, and love you have shown by considering placing your child for adoption. Thank you for loving your child in this special, courageous way.

Our family is built by adoption, as we are unable to have our own biological children. We understand how important a loving parent is to the life of a person. We hope our profile allows you to know us better and be confident in the brave and loving choice you are making.

Maura grew up in Columbus, Ohio, with a twin sister and a younger brother. She has a large extended family we enjoy spending time with. Her parents taught her to enjoy the little things and stay young at heart. Maura has a doctorate in Physical Therapy and works at a nursing facility helping people recover after a hospitalization. She believes laughter is a great medicine for the soul — and says it’s also a great ab workout! Maura loves being a mom and having children with whom to share her love and joy.

Billy was raised in Bexley, Ohio, the middle child of five siblings. He absolutely loved being a part of a big family and there was never a dull moment in their house. Always passionate about working with young people, in 2016 Billy earned his teaching license and today feels blessed to work as a 6th Grade Math Teacher. When he’s not in the classroom, he loves getting outside, whether to work in the yard, run, or hike. He has loved the adventure of parenthood thus far and can’t wait to grow his family again through adoption!

Our Precious Daughters Chiara joined our family through open adoption when she was 2 days old. Now 7, she is a chatterbox and very outgoing; she enjoys making new friends wherever we go. She likes crafts, playing outside, reading, biking, dancing, playing hockey, and hanging out with family and friends. She is excited to become a big sister again! We are still in touch with her birth mother, who is a special part of our family. Colette (“Letty”) also joined our family through open adoption. We were honored to be with her when she was born, and we still have contact with her birth family, who have also loved to see her grow into a spunky, adorable kid, now 4 years old. Colette loves playing in her toy kitchen, helping take care of babies, chasing after her big sister, reading, playing soccer, riding her scooter, singing to her favorite songs, and hanging out with family and friends. She cannot wait to welcome a “bebe” (as Letty says it) and become a big sister!

Irish Dance Recital for Chiara and Maura

We love spending time together as a family — getting together with our extended family and friends, going to parks, taking walks around our neighborhood, and going to the zoo often. We have fun playing together both indoors and out. Our families have many traditions, especially for seasons and holidays, and we continue to create new traditions with our growing family. We enjoy going on adventures to explore places near and far, trying new foods, cooking and baking, having dance parties in our family room, going to concerts, reading books, play dates with friends, and going to local sporting events.

Fast Food Family for Halloween

We live in Hilliard, a suburb of Columbus, in a 4-bedroom home with plenty of living space, a fully-fenced backyard, a covered front porch with a porch swing, and a finished basement. Our neighborhood is full of families. Your child can count on lots of hours of outdoor fun in a safe, friendly environment. We are close to parks and playgrounds, as well as downtown Columbus, the zoo, multiple museums, movie theaters, shopping centers, and leading medical centers.

Thank you for considering us as adoptive parents.

With great love and admiration,
Billy and Maura
