Family & Home

Our home is a bright and welcoming apartment in Washington, D.C., thoughtfully chosen to provide a warm and comfortable environment for our family. Nested in a peaceful area near the Potomac River, the apartment boasts beautiful views of the water and surrounding greenery. The home is filled with personal touches that reflect our shared love for culture, travel, and family. From carefully chosen art pieces to shelves lined with books, our space is a testament to our rich multicultural journey and shared values. The neighborhood is tranquil and family-friendly, with abundant outdoor spaces that we enjoy exploring together. Parks, walking paths, and scenic spots along the Potomac provide the perfect backdrop for outdoor activities like running and cycling, and we look forward to enjoying these spaces as a family. While peaceful, our neighborhood is also conveniently located, allowing easy access to the cultural and recreational offerings of Washington, D.C. It is a nurturing and inspiring place for a child to grow, with a balance of natural beauty and urban opportunities.

We have built a vibrant, diverse community in Washington, D.C., reflecting our international experiences and open-minded approach to life. Our social circle includes colleagues, classmates, and their families, creating a warm and inclusive network. Many of our friends also have children, offering shared experiences and support as we prepare for parenthood. Our weekends are often spent enjoying family-friendly activities with close friends. This dynamic community embodies the openness and diversity that we value deeply. With our history of living across three continents, we have cultivated friendships that span cultures and backgrounds, ensuring our future child grows up in an environment rich in acceptance, understanding, and love. We share close, supportive relationships with our extended families, which play an important role in our lives. We both count on numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. 

My, Laura’s, family, based in Spain, is warm and tight-knit. I have a brother and a sister, both younger than me.  I have a particularly strong bond with my younger sister who has two daughters, and I am the proud godmother to her first one. My parents and extended family have always been there for me, instilling in me the values of love, education, and togetherness. My family gatherings are lively and full of warmth, and I am confident that my future child will be embraced with open arms by all of them.

My, Greg’s, family, is spread across France and Togo. It also provides a foundation of love and support. I have a younger sister. Raised in a multicultural home, I have a deep appreciation for the strength and sacrifices of my parents, who worked hard to provide a better life for my sister and me. My sister, Laura (as well) and I are different in personality, but we share a very strong bond, and I am particularly close to the first of her four sons, of whom I am the proud godfather. My extended family, large and diverse, is welcoming and ready to embrace our child as one of their own.
