A Little About Me
Me & my siblings - 2011
My name is Taylor and I'm 27 years old. I have lived an extraordinary, unique life, as I grew up the only child in a foster/adoptive family. My entire life has revolved around my family and I always dreamed of growing up to adopt, just as my parents did.

Growing Up
High school graduation - Class of 2011
I grew up in a small town outside of New York City and had an incredible childhood. Being part of a foster family throughout my childhood was the best gift that my parents could have given to me. I learned so much about life through my siblings. I'll let you read more about my family on the next page, but know that they're the most important people in my life. My parents adopted five of my foster siblings, making me the oldest of six children. They're each excited to welcome my future children into our lives.
I'm still in touch with friends from all stages of my life; even though we get busy and don't all live near each other anymore, they're excited to support me through this adoption journey.

I've had two of the greatest guys in my life since we were in diapers and elementary school, respectively. They have been with me through everything!

Education
Partly due to the fact that I had so much experience with children over the course of my lifetime, my only career goal growing up was to become a teacher. After graduating high school, I went on to college at my top choice school, the State University of New York at New Paltz. I majored in Early Childhood/Childhood Education B-6 with a concentration in English and I minored in Deaf Studies.
I lived in the same house from birth until the summer after I graduated college, in July 2015. At that point, we made the life-changing decision to move to Florida to escape the freezing cold winters that dragged on in New York.

Career
After graduating, I told my parents that if we were moving to Florida anyway, I wanted to follow another love of mine... my love of Disney! We moved close enough to the Disney area that I could apply to work there as soon as we moved down and had gotten settled. Fast forward to December 1, 2015, and I officially became a Cast Member at Walt Disney World!
I have absolutely loved my time with the Walt Disney Company. A love of Disney has been instilled in me since birth; my parents honeymooned at Disney World over 30 years ago and passed on their enjoyment to me! Disney has always been there for me through the good times and the bad... Some of my fondest memories include Disney vacations or seeing Disney movies for the first time, and Disney has always brightened my spirits.
I have worked in two locations at Epcot (now temporarily at a third due to the pandemic) and I have worked my way up in the company. I became a Coordinator, the equivalent of middle management, in May 2018 and have learned so much about the company, and myself, in the process.

I'm lucky to work with some amazing people!
One of the perks of my status as a Coordinator means that I typically work the same hours each day of the week, which gives me the chance to still live a relatively normal life despite a career in hospitality. This means that I'll be able to be home with my future children quite a lot and will have the opportunity to be home for the important moments in their lives.

Continuing Education
A while back, I was fortunate to be accepted to the University of Denver and have been taking classes in an online capacity since September 2019. I'll be getting my Master's in Professional Creative Writing with a focus on Fiction. I have already learned so much and look forward to completing the rest of my classes.

So Much More...
It's difficult to put an entire life into one little website, but I hope that I've included the most important pieces of my life here for you. I write all of this in hopes of showing you a piece of who I am so that you can get to know me a bit.
You may have noticed that I have not mentioned a boyfriend or husband. I'll be adopting as a single woman, and I believe that going through this process on my own shows just how much I want to have a baby. I also know that if you learn more about me and about the wonderful support system that I have, you'll see that my future children will have gain so much by joining our family.
On the next few pages you'll find out more about me, my family, and my hopes for the future.
