Our first date was truly an example of love at first sight! We knew we would spend the rest of our lives together raising a family. As an expression of our love and commitment, we were married a couple of years later surrounded by all of our family and friends. Since then, we have made a home filled with love, laughter, and loyalty - the perfect setting for the next step of adding children.

WHERE we CALL HOME

story

We have just completed renovations on our ranch style home, making it more open and comfortable for family life.

We are super excited to use our new lawn in the backyard that's great for soccer games with Dads, cousins, aunts, and uncles.

Our home is located in a very family oriented neighborhood with great walking and biking trails, and large parks with play structures and sporting fields.

Picnics here we come!

Concord is centrally located to amazing destinations and family activities. Just 45 minutes away is the beautiful city of San Francisco, offering a multitude of activities such as children's interactive museums and Pier 39. Only an hour away is the tranquil north coast where we have spent many extended weekends hiking and playing on the beach with our two dogs, Joey and Rocco. Just an hour and a half away are the ski slopes of Lake Tahoe just waiting for us to come make snow angels.

AARON by Paul Aaron and I have the most amazingly strong relationship.

We have a great understanding of each other’s needs and have an open line of communication. Aaron has taught me just how important it is to communicate, learn, and grow. I have no doubt that our strong bond will be felt by our children, providing a supportive and strong family environment.

Aaron has a passion for understanding human behaviors and helping people improve their lives. So after many years of education and licensing he became a Marriage and Family Therapist in Concord just minutes away from our home. Aaron's occupation allows him the ability to often work during "off" hours. At least one of us, if not both of us, will be with our child at all times.

FRIENDS & FAMILY

We are blessed to have a supportive, large, loving family and circle of friends. Paul's entire family lives nearby and they’re readily waiting for us to adopt.

Paul's younger sister and her husband have two kids, and they live down the street. Their son, Charlie, has already been asking, "When will we get to meet our new cousin?" Paul's youngest sister and her husband live in the next town and are expecting their first baby soon. We are very excited for our children to grow and play together. Aaron's family lives in Texas and Oklahoma, and we all travel back and forth to see each other during holidays and summers as often as possible. They are very excited for us to become parents.

A Foster holiday family celebration

We have an amazingly close group of friends who we gather with often. All of our friends express their joy and support for us to start a family of our own.

2Family is super important to us!

We have a standing Friday-night “date” with our family- at 6:00 we all meet at the same restaurant for dinner and have done this for years and years.

(We hope our children will spend this much time with us when they’re grown!)

PAUL by Aaron Paul is kind hearted, fun-loving, and affectionate. He has taught me to let go and enjoy life, to trust my intuition. These characteristics of Paul, along with my having witnessed his presence with children, leave me with no doubt he will be a fantastic father, providing for our children's needs while making a great time of it.

Paul has a strong business sense along with a drive and talent to manage projects successfully. He is in Senior Management at an established mortgage banking company in Sacramento. Paul's career allows him to work from home several days a week, so he can spend lots of quality time with our little one!

HOBBIES & INTERESTS

Hanging out with Paul’s sister and children, Molly and Charlie

Our greatest interests are in our home and family.

MEET ROCCO

We love spending time with our dogs. They love children and can't wait to play with our new family addition. We enjoy working around the house and yard, making improvements to our investment properties. We look forward to teaching our children about nature, planting flowers, and creating a garden to nurture and tend to.

We also enjoy entertaining family and friends by cooking or playing games like dominos or baseball together in the yard. We spend every Saturday and Sunday morning taking our dogs to the dog park to play. We can't wait to incorporate the kiddie park into our weekend fun!

Rocco is very curious

& JOEY!

We also belong to a very family oriented health club along with most members of Paul’s family. We look forward to the day when our children can play and swim together with their cousins, or attend kids’ classes or camps offered, or just play a game of b-ball with their daddies if they like.

Joey loves to play ball

Thank you for taking the time to read about us! We

Thank you!

promise to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment for our child. He/she will grow up knowing the love and support that goes into an open adoption plan. We are so excited for the opportunity to become parents and raise a happy, healthy baby. We would be delighted to explore your goals for you and your baby. We can't wait to hear from you!

Sincerely,

Aaron and Paul Foster-Gigliotti
