RACE OF CHILD INTERESTED IN ADOPTING:
Any
Dear Birthmother,
We have been praying for you and your baby for some time now. We pray for your safety and guidance as you navigate these tough but important decisions for your baby. While we cannot imagine the heavy burden you bear as you consider adoption for your little baby, we would be incredibly grateful if you would consider us.
We hope our promise to care for and love your baby can help ease any fears or anxious thoughts you may have. Your child would grow up in the country surrounded by beautiful mountain views, a big yard to play in, and cousins to play with. As much fun as the cousins, aunts and uncles, and grandparents are, we are looking forward to focusing on and investing in a family of our own. From learning to ride a bike to building forts in the living room and snuggling up to watch a movie, we promise to cherish your child.
While we would be forever thankful should you choose us to raise your little one, we hope you are able to have peace about whatever you decide and know that we are here to support you.
Our Home
We live around sprawling cow pastures, acres of corn fields, rolling hills, and mountain views. You never know what you might see in the country, from herds of deer, horses and buggies, and teams of cyclists to goats eating our hasta. Though we have traveled to several other countries, nothing is as beautiful as walking out our back door. Our home is the same house Christina grew up in and only 100 yards from the family greenhouse. During the weekends, we love taking walks through the greenhouse and pointing out the different flowers. Our neighbors are kind, hardworking farmers. One neighbor even gives us emu eggs from their local emu farm. We also have two playful cats, Hamilton and Peanut.
Our Extended Family
We both have close-knit families. Andrew is the oldest of seven kids (three girls and four boys), and Christina has two older brothers and one younger.
Christina’s parents and two older brothers all live within a half mile. Both older brothers are married and have a few children each, all under seven years old. This means we get lots of time with our nieces and nephews. The kids often come to work with Christina at the greenhouse, where she teaches them how to load carts and move plants. One of the highlights of the year is our annual North Carolina beach vacation, where we spend time building sand castles, jumping waves, and digging for sand crabs.
Andrew’s family lives 35 minutes away and loves family traditions. We have our annual trip to the pumpkin patch, our search for the perfect Christmas tree, and, of course, loud, raucous family dinners. It's not uncommon to have several non-family members attend our dinners; we just call them “honorary family members.” We also love to vacation together. From Arizona and Tennessee to Scotland, we always look forward to our yearly family vacations. Both families are thrilled to add another member to our family.
