About Us: A Journey of Love & Shared Dreams
Our story began when Tiffane returned to her hometown, seeking new beginnings. That fateful night at one of our favorite local spots, we didn't just share a conversation; we started a friendship that blossomed into a deep, enduring connection. Over the years, we’ve experienced life's highs and lows together, each moment strengthening our bond. Our mutual desire to become parents has been central to our relationship.
Together, we cherish our time exploring new horizons, whether it's wandering through the vibrant markets of Mexico, marveling at the historic sites of Europe, or enjoying the local charms of our city. We love starting our days with morning walks in the downtown park, a serene way to begin or unwind after a bustling day. Fitness is another shared passion, and working out together keeps us connected and energized.
We’re regulars at our local farmer's market, where we love picking fresh, seasonal produce and supporting local artisans. Our city's vibrant cultural scene brings us joy, especially during events like the annual Jazz Festival, which we never miss. Attending Broadway plays at our local theatre also allows us to immerse ourselves in the world of arts and drama.
At home, our evenings are often spent unwinding with news or sitcoms, where we share laughter and support each other in every endeavor. We are thrilled at the prospect of offering a loving, supportive, and opportunity-filled home to a child, where they can grow and explore in an environment enriched by diverse experiences and boundless love.
Meet Charles: A Family Man with a Heart for Education & Style
Tiffane says: Charles brings warmth and leadership to every aspect of his life, whether as an elementary school principal, the owner of a local men’s clothing store, or a volunteer. Growing up in a lively family of seven siblings taught him the value of patience, guidance, and fun. His passion for education and entrepreneurial spirit are matched by his love for action hero movies and always being the best-dressed at any event.
Beyond his professional endeavors, Charles is deeply involved in his community. He volunteers as a board member at the local children's theatre, contributing to programs that enrich the lives of young performers. His commitment to fostering self-confidence and leadership extends to mentoring young boys, guiding them to value themselves and their potential.
Charles also stays active and connected through regular workouts with friends and enjoys weekly calls with his siblings, maintaining close family ties despite the distance. His extroverted personality and genuine care for others make him a beloved figure in both his personal and professional circles, and he eagerly anticipates bringing this same warmth and guidance to our growing family.

More About Our Family
Family Traditions
Our family traditions are the heartbeat of our lives, filled with love, fun, and a deep sense of connection. With our large families, including our parents, siblings, and many nieces and nephews, we cherish intentional gatherings that bring us all together. Thanksgiving is a time of laughter, delicious food, and joyous reunions. On Christmas Eve, the excitement peaks with everyone in matching pajamas, enjoying festive gatherings and spirited karaoke sessions. Labor Day is all about reconnecting with our college friends over a lively cookout, poolside relaxation, and dancing to our favorite '90s tunes. Each summer, we look forward to our annual family reunion, hosted by different family members across states—this year, we're thrilled to host in South Carolina. These cherished traditions keep us close, supported, and embody the essence of our family's love. We look forward to sharing these beautiful moments with our future child, while also creating new traditions that will become a special part of their life.

Our aim is to help develop a child who is self-aware, understanding their own needs, desires, emotions, and capabilities.
We believe in guiding our child gently through life's challenges, supporting them as they learn to navigate their world independently. This includes fostering their ability to solve problems on their own, while also teaching them the importance of asking for help when needed. Our parenting will be a balance of encouragement and support, allowing our child to grow into a capable and confident individual. We will always encourage them to be themself and lean on their personal values as their guide.

As an elementary school principal, Charles is a firm advocate for parental involvement, ensuring we are deeply engaged in our child’s academic life from the start. We plan to nurture our child's interests through extracurricular activities and early educational experiences at home, collaborating closely with educators. As our child grows, we will support them in exploring all educational avenues, whether college or vocational training, based on their passions and career aspirations. As first-generation college graduates, we value education highly and are committed to providing our child with the opportunities for success that education brings.
