AJ & Lital

Hello,

We’re Lital and AJ, and we are excited to introduce ourselves!

But before we dive into the stories and photos, we thought it would be helpful to share a little about what
“family” means to us. We both have strong connections to our families of origin — although they are
states, and even oceans, away. We see each other several times a year, celebrate holidays together, and
have video calls every week. In addition to the family we are related to, we both also have what we call
our “found family” — people who have come into our lives at different times, who have supported us in
difficult moments, encouraged us to grow, and who we have supported in return.

For both of us, “family” doesn’t only happen when you are related to someone. Sometimes it comes from
how someone makes you feel: the warmth from knowing someone truly cares for you, sees you for who
you are, and will stand by you through thick and thin. We believe that families can be built in more than
one way — and that belief is what led us to adoption.

In 2024, we welcomed our daughter, and she has brought more joy, energy, and love into our home than
we could have imagined. We have cherished learning who she is, and we work every day to create a
safe, supportive space where she can be brave, proud, and grow into herself. Becoming her parents has
been the greatest adventure of our lives — and it has only made us more excited to grow our family.

We hope that as you read through the rest of our page, you get a real sense of who we
are and the life we are eager to share. But here, in short, is what our family is all about:

• We will support and love a child what ever path they choose.
• They will be encouraged to be curious, ask questions, explore the world, and go on adventures.
• They will be surrounded by joy and taught to celebrate life — the big things and the small things — and to be compassionate toward others.

Thanks for taking the time to review our page and get to know us a little better.
Whatever your next step, we wish you strength and peace.

Warmly,
Lital and AJ
