Thank you to everyone who sent an email or posted a comment after seeing and reading our story. We appreciate all of your love and support. It's now August 12th and we wanted to let you know that the search continues. As many of you know, we are a loving professional couple with 19 month old Noah looking to adopt a newborn in the United States. We are willing to pay all allowable expenses.

Did You See Us on CNN?

Believe it or not, we filmed a live spot on CNN! The producer saw our local NBC 4 piece that we were in talking about our journey to adopt Noah. We had fun at CNN and T.J. Holmes was very personable. Melissa, Seth and Noah on CNN

NBC Today Show Update!

Thank you to Facebook Fairytales, Emily Liebert and The Today Show for the piece that aired this morning at 9:50am. See Us on The Today Show. We were part of 2 stories that were highlighted from the book Facebook Fairytales. We especially appreciate that Al Roker and Sara Haines mention that we are looking for a sibling for Noah. The local NBC spot also appeared on Israeli Local News! (start watching from 14 min 20 seconds)
They were also kind enough to add our story to the NBC Today Moms Blog.

Thank you for all of you supportive comments and well wishes.

NBC Washington Story

On May 11th, 2010 our story was featured on the 11pm news! Unfortunately, they didn't have time to mention that we're searching for a sibling for Noah. BUT, the story is very well done and we are very happy to have been featured in the piece. So far, we've heard that people in Detroit and Wisconsin have also seen the piece - Wow! Feel free to check it out:

And, as a result of the NBC piece, we were contacted by ParentDish for an article on their website. We are greatful and honored by everyone's interest in our story:

Getting the Word Out!

Hey there everyone. So far, we remain positive and hopeful that we will find a sibling for Noah. We continue to try to use the internet, Facebook and word of mouth to get the word out about our search. You might also be interested to know that our story has been published in a great book called Facebook Fairytales. Our story has even been featured on Oprah.com! Check it out by clicking on Waiting for A Baby.

We recently went up to NYC to participate in a Today Show taping about the book. The Today Show producers made us feel very comfortable with the interview and our tour of NBC studios was great. We are hopeful to find a sibling for Noah soon.


We certainly appreciate all of your warm comments, love and support.
