Myrline + Evens
Dear Expectant Parent,
You are amazing. Remember to be kind and gracious to yourself.
Today, we are so privileged to have the opportunity to write to you. Our wish is for you to breathe it all in. Through your baby's moves, you will feel your strength, your patience, your vulnerabilities and your unwavering determination to give the best to your child. Your selflessness is so cherished. We are humbled beyond measure to have you consider us as parents. We want you to know we will raise our child in a God-anchored, loving family with so much joy.
Our Why
Why Not. We both have big hearts and lots of love to share. Ever since we met, we have talked about adopting whether or not we have biological children on our own. We were blessed to welcome our handsome son early in our family. However, now the time is right and it is clear that we want to and can love, cherish, and share our home and our heart with more children. Adoption is our God-given miracle to continue growing our family.
Our Story
Evens and Myrline story is a match made in heaven and managed on earth.
We met through a mutual friend while we were living miles apart. Evens was in Haiti and Myrline was in the United States, with the help of technology we began talking on the phone and then via video. We shared our values, goals, and life aspirations. It was not long until we realized that, maybe, just maybe, we are in love with each other.
Myrline then traveled to Haiti to meet Evens. It was an instant connection. A year and a half later we said our vows in front of an exclusive group of friends and family. Fast forward 7 years later, we are still growing. We are learning so much about each other. We are learning to better communicate. We are learning to better support each other's dreams and aspirations while putting our family at the forefront of everything we do.
We make a conscious effort to spend time with each other, like random dates or a quick short getaway to refresh and rejuvenate. We also believe in giving each other time for personal space. We are far from perfect, but we are thriving along.
We do love each other and express it out loud.

Our Home
We bought our house in November 2023. We found a charming antique home tucked away in a neighborhood near a lake with a bike path and a park. It was love at first visit. We are only steps away from the lake and the trail, with birds watching, beautiful skylights, sunrise and sunset. The house has 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, with an open floor plan living room, dining room, and kitchen. We are putting our personal touch on it to reflect our welcoming characters. We have made friends with neighbors in the area who also have young kids. We have block parties for the kids (and adults too) and it is beautiful to watch.
