To the Birth Parents
We do understand that this must be one of the most difficult
decisions for you to make and we cannot imagine what
you must be going through. All we can do is assure you
that the gift of a child to us would be the most precious
possible.
Our friend has adopted a little girl through Heart of Adoptions
and had a very positive experience, with both the birth
mother as well as the agency, which is why we have
chosen them.
We are just coming up to our 8th year together and 6th year
wedding anniversary and we have been through a great
deal together in trying for a baby. But we have always
been caring and supportive of each other, tried to keep a
sense of humour where possible, we are true best
friends.
We can assure you we will cherish and love a child if you
decide to choose us, we have already discussed the
adoption with each and everyone of our family and they
are all in full support of our decision and canʼt wait to
meet the new addition to our family.
Dubai is a wonderful safe environment to raise a child with
high quality schools, plenty of kids activities and we live in
a wonderful area with plenty of families and play areas.
Many of our friends already have children and will also be
very supportive of us. Our home is already child friendly
due to our nieces and nephews visits. Family is so
important to us and we will be ensuring that our new child
spends quality, fun time with our families in the UK with
us when we visit each year. Education and sports are
important to us and we will ensure we are their to support
our child throughout their growth into an adult.
We thank you for your time and consideration and hope you
will read on to find out more about us……..
About Us…… Simon (Hubby)
I was born in Cheltenham in the UK and
brought up on a farm with my older brother
Chris which was great fun playing all the
time, running around the fields and in the
barns.
Simon and his Mum Liz
With Simonʼs brother Chris and his wife Liz
We moved to Devon when I was 5 years old to
another farm which is where I went to
school. Here I loved playing football,
cricket, tennis, rugby and golf and
captained most of the teams. The Golf
interest also grew and before leaving
school, I decided to look in to the Golf
industry and took a Diploma course in Golf
Course Management. College was a great
time for me and I made a lot of friends who
I am still in touch with today.
Although my parents divorced when I was 16,
Mum and dad were always there to talk to
when needed which was good for me and
my brother., who I am also very close to.
Mum and Dad get on really well now, my
Dad has remarried to Glynn and luckily for
me we all get along well. We still visit our
family regularly in the UK each year.
After a few years working in the UK on Golf
Courses in 2005 I got the opportunity to
move to Dubai to work. My job includes
selling into golf courses, palaces and
hotels, meeting a wide variety of
interesting people and VIPʼs.
I have many friends here in Dubai and this is
also where I met my wife Sarah.
My hobbies still include golf as well as gokarting where I take part occasionally in
local competitions

About Us…… Sarah (Wifey)
I was born in Yorkshire (England) in 1968. It is
a really beautiful place to grow up and I
still visit at least once per year to see the
family. I am very close to my Mum, Dad
and younger brother Roger who is always
there to support me and is one of my best
friends
Sarah and her Mum Anita
Sarah and her Dad Peter
My Mum is one of 4 and my Dad one of 7, and
as the first born grandchild, I was very
lucky to have Aunts and Uncles who spoilt
me and as they got married (I am one of
13 cousins) there was always a baby to
look after and play house with. As we
grew up we used to have great fun,
playing sports – cricket, football, tennis
and swimming. We also used to go for
Sunday lunch at my grandmaʼs every
week and would make up plays including
the annual nativity for the parents. We
have all kept in touch even though some
of us have moved away. We love a family
get together and always make the effort to
attend and it is like we have never been
apart.
I am godmother to 2 children Maia and Freddie
and am very close to all 6 of my nieces
and nephews who visit regularly and we
see when we visit the UK.
On leaving school I gained my diploma in
Hotel Management. After which I worked
for 8 years at the Grosvenor House Park
Lane in London.
Sarah and her brother Roger
With the support of my family I moved to Dubai
and have not looked back. I have worked
in Hotels, Golf Clubs and now Finance. I
have a great network of friends ,but most
importantly this is where I met my
wonderful husband Simon.
About Us…….

We met on 14th April 2005 on the first
day Simon arrived in Dubai and
immediately hit it off, We started dating
and realized we have the same interests
and views on life and as our relationship
and friendship grew we realized we
have something very special.

At Christmas we went home to the UK
and met each others families and we all
got on fabulously.

In 2006 we took a holiday to Mauritius,
and this is where Simon proposed – it
could not have been more romantic –
right on the beach on one knee. What a
fantastic moment! The planning for the
wedding started straight away and on
the 3rd August 2007 we became Mr. &
Mrs. Lupton, and what a day it was with
our families and friends … just perfect!

We started trying for a baby, but were
unfortunately not successful. We started
IVF, but again this did not work and no
one could actually say why. During this
time we started to talk about adoption as
we were so keen to have a family. We
went through all options and decided
Heart of Adoption was the best choice .

We so want to have our own family and
bring up a child and see them grow into
an adult and be there for them. It would
be the best thing in the world to see
them grow up and take on the world like
we have. To be involved in a childʼs life
would be so fantastic for us , and we
want this more than anything else.
Our wonderful wedding day

Personal reference for Sarah and Simon
We have known Sarah and Simon since they first met in Dubai almost eight years ago
and have been close friends ever since. We attended their wedding in the UK over
five years ago, where we met and were welcomed into their extended family.
Sarah and Simon are both professionals and have been in stable employment ever
since we have known them. Tony and Simon work for the same company, as such
Tony highly vouches for Simon on both a professional and a personal basis.
Working and socialising together has meant they have a very close relationship.
Tony agrees, Simon would be a wonderful father.
Both are social, friendly people, and we have always felt very welcome in their home.
Sarah has a bubbly personality, which is infectious and she would clearly make a
fantastic mother.
We know Sarah and Simon have been trying for children for many years and have
witnessed the emotional roller coaster they have been through. Throughout this
process they have been highly supportive of one another, which is testament to their
strong relationship. We cannot imagine a more deserving couple to adopt a child
and know any child fortunate enough to have Sarah and Simon as parents will have
a blessed life. They're both kind, gentle and have lots of love to share with children.
Weʼre very confident that they'd be excellent parents, able to provide a loving, stable
and supportive home in which children can grow and thrive.
Sarah and Tony, December 2012

Sarah and Simon are a wonderful couple; very happy and the best of
friends. They both have a great sense of humour and life around them is
fun and relaxing. They have a happy home where family and friends are
welcome.
They have many friends both in Dubai and the UK but their families play an
essential part in their lives. When we are not with them, we are in touch
regularly. I know they enjoy our trips to Dubai and are very excited when
Sarah's nieces and nephews pay a visit.
I am so lucky to have such a lovely daughter in law. She, along with Simon,
are loving, caring and very aware of the needs of others.
My brother and I were adopted as babies and were given all the love, care
and support by our mum. She was an amazing person and I miss her so
much even though she died over 20 years ago.
I spent my working life with babies, young people and adults. I was a
nursery nurse, then a midwife and for the last 29 years, before retiring, I
was a family planning nurse. With all the experience I gained over those
years, I know Sarah and Simon will be great parents.
Simonʼs mother, Elizabeth
We thank you for taking the time to learn all about us both.
To adopt a child would be the greatest gift we could receive
Please help us make our dream come true!
Simon and Sarah
