Katie Judge & Eleanor Terrell

In 2006 we met through mutual friends and quickly became inseparable. Our relationship has grown stronger and more secure than we thought possible. We are best friends and soul-mates. Our life together is full of laughter whether we’re watching a movie or cooking dinner. We can hardly wait to snuggle with our child as we munch on buttery popcorn and watch a great Disney movie!

We also love spending time outdoors. We look forward to family camping trips, sitting by the fire, listening to crickets and making s’mores with our child. Our animals are an important part of our lives. We have two gentle horses, an affectionate dog named Rokky and three lazy cats. They will all love having a new friend to love. Rokky will easily keep up with a stroller during neighborhood walks with our little one. We are thrilled about sharing our home, joy, and love with our child.

Our families eagerly await an addition to our family. Eleanor’s parents and sister, Emily, live a short drive away. They can’t wait to explore the butterfly garden and visit the meerkats at the Zoo with our little one. We also have family in Nevada and New York. They are excited about our child being a part of the family gatherings that are full of fun, food and good times. We travel to Massachusetts often to visit Katie’s family. Her parents are already planning to make lots of visits to our home to see their grandchild! Nanie and Grampie can’t wait to go hunting for crabs at the beach with their newest grandchild.

We are excited about taking vacations and exploring new places as a family. Katie’s brother, Jeff, and his wife have two boys and a little girl. They live in Florida and look forward to having another cousin as a playmate! Our niece, Baylee, who lives nearby will be an amazing helper. She is already asking if she can help make homemade baby food for her cousin with vegetables from her garden.

We live in Greensboro, half-way between the mountains and the beach! Our neighborhood is family-friendly and close to good schools. We will keep cool all summer long at our pool with our child. We especially look forward to watching our child running through the sprinkler in our big backyard and creating chalk masterpieces on the driveway.

We believe family memories and traditions are a key part of a happy childhood. During Halloween we love to hang up spooky lights and dress our candyhelper, Rokky, in her best costume. We can’t wait to show our child how to carve jack-o-lanterns and dress up for trick-or-treating. Birthdays will always be full of crazy cakes, games, and close friends! Decorating for Christmas will be even more special when we build gingerbread houses together.

We dream of a future with a child to love. We are grateful for our ability to offer a nurturing, stable home full of love and opportunities. Whether it’s dance, music, school or sports, we look forward to watching our child grow up, explore his or her interests, and become the person he or she is meant to be.

We believe part of what makes a family is the amount of love given to a child. The part of open adoption we like most is that there is no limit on the love for the child. We’re happy that you are reading our letter and we thank you for considering open adoption. We hope you find peace as you consider all of your options. We would like to develop a respectful relationship with you based on mutual wishes and levels of comfort. We hope our profile helps to answer your questions about our commitment to each other, to your future child, and to you. We would love to hear from you anytime.

We truly hope that you are able to find what you are looking for and we wish you all of the best.
