A Little About Me
Me & my siblings - 2011
My name is Taylor and I'm 28 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. My friends check in with me constantly to see how the adoption process is going. They're all excited to see me become a mom!
One of my best friends has been in my life since before we were a year old. He's always been one of my biggest supporters, my "brother from another mother," and he's going to be the most amazing uncle to my future children.

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 three locations at Epcot and received a promotion to the training department in early 2022. This position gives me the opportunity to welcome new Cast Members to one of the Disney resorts and create the training schedules for everyone joining our team.
One of the perks of this new position was the opportunity for a more "normal" schedule. I'm now out of work by 5pm each day, which means that I'm home in time for dinner with the family. I'll be able to be home with my future children quite a lot and will have the opportunity to take off from work for the most important moments in their lives.

Continuing Education
In November 2021, I finished my graduate program through the University of Denver. While I had to miss the graduation ceremony in June, I was thrilled to receive my diploma and I'm extremely proud of all that I have accomplished. I graduated with my Master's in Professional Creative Writing with a focus on Fiction. I can't wait to show my future daughter how important education is and hopefully be a good role model for her.

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.
