Dona and Steve Stone

Hello, we are Dona and Steve from Camarillo, California and we thank you for taking the time to visit our site. We know this is a very important and difficult time for you and we admire your courage and wisdom in considering open adoption.

Your child will always know that you chose us to care for him or her and that you gave us the ultimate gift, a family. We look forward to the day that we can share all the love we have with our child and with you.

We would love to get to know you and we hope you will take a moment to learn more about us through this website as you consider adoption.

Our child will always know about the special birthmother that brought him or her into this world. We will keep you updated with photos, letters and visits -- whatever makes you the most comfortable and the most at ease. We will make sure our child gets the opportunity to know you. We promise to provide our child with a happy life, stable home, education, and many loving family and friends. Most importantly, we promise unconditional love and support.

Our child will know the value of laughing and having fun! We will sing and dance around the house and play all sorts of games/sports as a family. We want our child raised in an environment filled with love and extended family. We will work hard to build moral character and raise an emotionally strong child. We will teach our child to learn from mistakes and to know the difference between right and wrong.We hope our child will learn to work hard, to always stand up for him or herself and be a good friend to others.

We love to spend time having fun with our dogs – going to the beach, away for weekends, to the local coffee shop at the weekends and playing in the many local parks near us. We also love doing things together and spending time with each other – hockey games, reading, going to the beach, relaxing in our pool and entertaining friends and family. We are about 15 minutes from the beach so we can go for a picnic and walk anytime. We love sports, not only watching but attending live games and our child will have so much fun going with us - LA Dodgers and LA Kings are our favorites. Dona has loved reading her whole life and cannot wait to share this love with our child. We both like roller-coasters and amusement parks, lucky for us we live close to Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm and Sea World! Our child will enjoy being a kid while we enjoy being “Big Kids”! Steve coaches rugby for a local university team and wants to teach our child to play sports and coach them as they grow up. Steve is currently learning Spanish and is looking forward to practicing his skills on one of our upcoming vacations to Mexico - we love to go to Mexico at least once a year. Every year we like to decorate our home for Christmas both inside and out. We always have 2 Christmas trees just so we can put all of our ornaments on especially the ones that family have given us over the years. The outside of the house gets decorated with bright lights and we have a collection of moving animals which the local children love to come and look at.
